Does a violin make alow sound?
If you are asking about the violin making low sounds, then it can, but not as low as, per say, a stand up bass. If you're asking about loud sounds, then yes. Compared to the other instruments in the orchestra (viola, cello, bass), the violin is the easiest to hear.
Is dreamweaver 8 better than dreamweaver CS3?
Dreamweaver 8 was the version prior to CS3. Dreamweaver 8 was owned by Macromedia but Adobe purchased the program and changed the name from Macromedia Dreamweaver 8 to Adobe Dreamweaver CS3 with the new version. Previous versions of Dreamweaver, in reverse order: Adobe Dreamweaver CS3, Macromedia Dreamweaver 8, Dreamweaver MX 2004, Dreamweaver MX, Dreamweaver 4, 3, 2, and 1.
However, newer is not necessarily better. Some features of Dreamweaver 8 have been left out of the newer version, which arguably make it a less good choice for some. It really depends what you are using it for, and whether you need the new features in CS3.

Is Crescent trading a good violin producer?
In order to judge whether a violin is a good beginner violin, we must make sure the violin passes our 8 point test. Here it is: -Make sure that the fine tuners (located under the bridge) can easily turn both ways without resistance. -Make sure the violin is made of solid wood. Please kindly note that many inexpensive violins sold online use inferior woods like plywood (laminated). Unfortunately, due to the tension created by the strings onto the bridge, plywood made violins usually break within 6 months.
-Make sure that the person using the violin can easily push down on the strings. If they cannot push down on the string comfortably, either the bridge needs to be recut or the fingerboard nut is too high. -Make sure that the strings are evenly spaced out on the fingerboard nut (located at the top of the violin)
-Make sure that there are no plastic parts
-Make sure that the bridge is curved enough so your bow won't play on two strings at once -Make sure that the strings are equally spaced out on the bridge so your bow won't play on two strings at once
-Make sure the violin is made with inlaid purfling, which is a strip of wood added to the edges of the front and back of the violin to protect the violin from cracks.
If the violin you are looking at does not pass one of these eight points, we would discourage you from buying it. They will end up costing you a lot of money to fix or replace. We highly discourage individuals to buy a violin less than $150 (off sites like eBay or Amazon) because those instruments tend to be made of inferior materials (such a plywood) and are not properly shop adjusted (meaning that you could spend up to $75 at your local shop just setting it up properly). A quality beginner violin outfit is our Mozart Violins Model 12 Classic Violin.
Another mistake we often find is that individuals don't know what size violin to purchase. The size of the violin is how long the violin is. There are four main sizes for violins: 1/4, 1/2, 3/4 and 4/4 size. To figure out what size violin you need, watch our sizing video by going to MozartViolins.com and clicking on Violin Tips.

Why are violin bridges unvarnished?
My guess would be that the cords could possibly slip if the varnish was too smooth. If the wood has more grooves, perhaps it is more likely to hold the cords and help them vibrate.
------
Your guess would be wrong. Varnishing the bridge would slow down the transmission of sound through the hard maple the bridge is made from. Even build up of rosin dust slows down the vibrations.

How much does a Amati violin cost?
It depends on which Amati. Nicholas Amati several thousand dollars. An Andreas Amati a few hundred dollars. A modern Amati less than 100 dollars.
Compendum

What a load of bunk. A real Amati is 300-500 years old and can run into the millions. Yes, some modern copies are mostly worthless, but even many of the copies from the early 1900's can be worth several thousand.
