Thanks for the education and advice. I'll offer it for trade for a 4/4 or cash sale, say $325 delivered into the Seattle metro area. I'll keep the Eric Steiner full sized bow.

14" on a violin would most often refer to the length of the back rather than the string length.
I started on a cheap 3/4 cuz it was all I could find. It sounded good enough to learn on, and I don't feel like it held me back. Some more experienced fiddlers have told me that a cheap 3/4 will often sound better than a cheap full size, but that's at a lower level than an Eastman 300. Having learned on 3/4, I never had any trouble playing a full size, a viola, and even an 8th and 16th (16th bridge was too flat though) I now play a full size, that's a good deal nicer than my 3/4. I would like to one day make an octave violin, cuz I think it'd be awesome (and I have long arms)
