Right now, buyers are confused to see that two violins, same model and similar look, all are 5 star, different prices. With a multiple grades/scores system, you can easily tell the difference such as both have 5 star sound, one has a 5 star look and the other has a 4 star look and so different prices are justified. A multiple grades/scores system is also efficient. You have copy/paste SAME comments from experts as descriptions for several violins and users get confused; are these violins same? Every violin is different but it is tedious for you to use words and sentences to describe the differences of each violin. However, it is easy for you to post descriptions such as sound: 5 star, playability: 3 star, aesthetics: 4 star, etc. A multiple grades/scores system also helps you to price your violins.

Varnish is very important, it significantly changes the sound quality of the violin. Some people want extreme beauty and some people want optimal sound. If you can provide multiple grades/scores for a violin, it will be very helpful for people who want to buy top quality violins from internet yet they can not hear or touch the violin before they buy. Multiple grading can convey more complicated features of a violin than a single 5 star or one piece back. For example, a violin can have 5 star on tone, 4 star on playability and 4 star on aesthetics. I just make it up to explain my ideas. This will be very useful for sophiscated buyers, which seem to be the majority of your customers. I think it would be better if you grade your violins after the varnish is completely done.
