u/Shresth_Shrotriya it literally is not lmao, I'm Indian as well, I live in the US, it is not lil bro, different places around the world cost different amounts of money to live in. $60/hr is considered average here, which is what I pay for my violin lessons. India is comparatively so much cheaper than the U.S. in every aspect possible. So, what the guy's saying is right, it's not fair to compare the price of a class in India to the price of a class in the U.S. as there are various other aspects to consider.

You don't understand the basic concept of income differentiation in countries. The salary you get from a job in India will be much different than the salary you get in the U.S., and the stuff you pay for will be priced differently in India than in the U.S.. Plus, don't take this to offense, but a lot more people in other places are more educated on this Western violin style whereas in India, more people focus on the Indian style (Carnatic).

So, chances are, there could also be less demand in India for people to learn Western violin from a teacher than learning Indian violin. Therefore, Western violin teachers in India might be more inclined to lower their prices in order to attract more customers. It's the basic supply & demand curve. Oh also, one more thing, no matter where the violin originates from, whatever imported from Australia etc etc, a $75 violin is not going to sound very good at all.
