Hi, Ariel.
Welcome to the forum.
You could try doing a search for customer reviews on this forum site. I'm sure there are a few for the Artist. There are additional comments here:
http://www.stringworks.com/comments.htm
And there was also this old comparative review in All Things Strings magazine from a long while back:
http://www.stringsmagazine.com/issues/strings96/coverstory.html
It's rather dated, and many of the reviewed outfits may have improved some by now -- not too sure about the Artist itself, but most of the Stringworks line has seen improvements since then. The Artist held its own quite well in that comparative review (even though there were some outfits that cost ~2x as much), and it probably still compares very well in its ballpark price range.
Still, besides the actual reviews in that article, there are some useful pointers for violin shopping, especially for beginners, so it's definitely worth a read.
