    While I'm not familiar with the piece at all, they sound very nice to me at least.
    Are they you?
    If so, I'm not sure exactly why you're looking towards a better instrument, as you sound fine to me.

    They are! and thank you for your kind words! The Ireland is on imslp.org if you'd like to learn the piece.

    Nicely done, very pleasing sound, good sense of time. I enjoyed it.

    I thought that the intonation was a little shaky in the beginning, but it cleared up after a measure or two then stayed pretty rock solid.

    I like the piece a lot.

    Intonation or sound quality? In any case, the sound solidified rather nicely.
