Just bought a cheaper, beginner violin on-line!. I live in a remote area so my choice of music stores is very limited!. The violin arrived with a crack in the "nose" which is the rainbow shaped part at the base of the neck!. It goes completely over the "nose" in a rainbow shape!. The shipping to send it back and then purchase a new one and have it shipped will almost amount to having bought 2 violins!. So, what I want to know is - will a crack in the nose affect the acoustics of the instrument and, if so, can it be easily fixed!? Thank you!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
