What is better Mozart Violin or Fernando Violin I am planning to buy my first violin as a beginner?

That's impossible to answer. Since no two violins of the same model will sound the same, how can you know what you will like. Buying a violin off the internet is the worst way to buy one. How do you know that you will like the sound, what do you have to compare it to. What you need to do is to go to a violin shop and try a bunch out in person. If you don't play, they will play them for you and you can decide based on what you hear.

What is a cortez j-6000 guitar worth?

I own a Cortez J6000 and of all the guitars I have owned ( including Gibson and Martin), My old Cortez will hold it's own with any acoustic guitar on the market. I just found one valued at $799.99 on Google. Personally, I wouldn't take less than $1000 for mine if it was for sale. These guitars are well constructed and have great sound and action. They are a knock-off of the Martin D-45 and are about as exact as they come, right down to the abalone trim. They were manufactured by Jack Westheimer, a pioneer in the field of Japanese and other foreign made instruments. He is still in business working under the Cort name and producing OEM guitars for a number of companies. I hope this helps, Joe G.
