My violin has a (permanent?) cold, Help!

Is there any chance that this instrument has been re-graduated? If an instrument is carved too thin, over time it can sound really cloudy and wolfy. Do you know the history of this instrument? Perhaps you should have a different violin shop check it over.

The other things to consider are if you need new strings. Also, it could just be that the low humidity from winter makes it sound terrible. You might want to wait it out and see if it still sounds that way during the summer.

Hope this helps.
