How can a violin limit you to a grade?

Hello. I've been wanting to buy a violin, and have heard that you can't get past grade 5(no idea how advanced it is) with some violins.





I know I might be thinking too far, but was curious.


How can the violin limit you to a certain grade? Is it just the tone or something else?|||Whoever said that was probably thinking that with a beginner violin you can't produce the variety of tone colors that a more advanced violinist is expected to be able to produce, or that some of the more advanced techniques are pretty hard to do on an unresponsive violin.





From what I've seen, students who are still playing their beginner instruments when they get to an advanced intermediate stage get pretty frustrated with them.|||You have believed a myth.


No Orchestral Instrument limits your grade.


Here is an example of grade 8 for violin

Grade 5 is usually the point of having to pass a theory test as well as the practical exam - grade 8 is the highest
