I'd recommend Ong Ket Wei if you're in KL.

www.oliutaio.com

He has training as a luthier & is a very nice guy.

He trained in Cremona wei, under masters. Then summore the stuff he's selling, for example bows, starting price is 5k. So yeah, I'm sure his services doesn't come cheap, but I'm sure he's the best in Malaysia.

Yeah you better believe it. If I'm not mistaken the price of Italian violins are normally starting at USD 10k, so it's normal la to match it up with a premium bow. RM 5k is a start.

So yeah when I got into the violin world, I was shocked by the prices too. Custom Shop guitars got nothing on it. I guess because violin are like fine watches, I don't really understand why it's so expensive. But fret not, contrary to the guitar world, China made violins are very good and excellent for the money if you wish to start.
