His favorite part of it is the music
5/5

It is not a good idea for us to purchase one online after talking to my son's music teacher. We were forced to go to a music store and rent one that would have cost us more than 800 dollars. She couldn't tell the difference between this specific viola and the other one I chose after much research. This is a great product. I'm very pleased with this instrument. It had extra strings, a nice case, and I like the sound it makes.

As for how premature I am, I just got the violin today, and I haven't tuned it or taken it to my teacher yet so she can break it over my head. Additionally, I am a total newbie, never played strings before besides guitar. There is no way I could ever afford to buy an "approved" keyboard. Evidently, the price is too good to be true. Although the case is hard and felted, and many parts (such as the neck guard) are made of plastic, the construction is beautiful and well made. The weight of the device is very low. The first time I looked at it I thought it was too small to make vaiola As I listened to the bassy sounds, I wondered if a violin ended up in my hands entirely In this case, I am focusing on the immediate construction and first allusion to music, sound, timber, playability (playability). It took my orchestral roommate a few minutes to adjust my bow once I had forgotten to do so (I forgot to tighten it when he came home after practice). In my reading of the scant instructions I had found, it tells you to wait and let your instructor lead you in your first setup. I watched YouTube videos and watched the scant instructions. The low open string didn't work for me (I will definitely need a shoulder brace). My eyes opened wide when I realized that I had never produced a tone on a string That was a WONDERFUL sight to see. Bassy, I tell you. The tune sounded exactly as it should (with the exception of incorrect tuning). really amazed at what I saw. It's a beautiful guitar. I played all the strings open one at a time, too. It's a very nice sounding bassy instrument. YouTube videos also follow the same format. There were a few fingerings I did I have to practice and develop my reach for that to work. it is clear that it would work. My review will be updated if tuning is not accurate, pitch is not held, or cracks form. Although I wouldn't hesitate to purchase this instrument if you're worried it won't sound good enough, especially in a small setting. This is a great price, but my instructor may break it over my head, it is so cute and I'm going to be sad if he does. On its way to me is my first 4/4 cello made by the same maker and store. 1) Feedback I gave to my seller I am ecstatic! All accessories and hardcase were included in the box, and it arrived early, without any damage. Enjoy the play! Having just played for the first time, it sounds fantastic! Thanks a lot! Message

Update Okay, I have two hours left before my first class. When I tried to tune it, the string broke and the tuners generally would not stay in place. On the day of the lesson, I should have setup the equipment. I am going to find out from her whether she has a trick for making tuners stick with rosin or something similar. Without a setup, I'd have to wait for the lesson to begin, it would delay my lesson and may make it unaffordable. As for the price, I am not looking for a more expensive instrument at this moment. The sound of the box is still excellent, and both the bow and rosin work well. 4 stars, and let's see how it goes. The latest update is as follows "Why did you think it couldn't be tuned?" she asked again as I was getting ready for class. She walked around for a few minutes while I was getting ready, but handed it back to me without saying anything. Here we go again with Fine Instrument. you should always follow instructions and let the teacher do the first set up. That way, you'll save time and the instructor will save you. The young lady knew it was inexpensive, she knew the price, but had no problem working with it. I am now going to learn the Suzuki method was completely certain the tuners would collapse, so I went to a professional before giving up.

This is an extremely beautiful I enjoy this purchase very much
5/5

It has been about seven years since I began playing the violin, which I am not a violist. **1. **2. *3. The viola arrived on time and In my opinion, it is one of the best instruments I have ever played. I thought the violin was a restrained violin as other reviews implied, but it is not. The bridge was already on the violin when I bought it. This bridge came previously uncut, so it's hard to tell if it's new or not. In the sense that the notches do not exist. While I'm not sure why it's oriented that way on the instrument, it is in the right position and standing up as it should. Please specify 2. 1) The bow is not the best, but it isn't terrible. As a result of the incorrect way it was put in the case before transit, several of the hairs were broken. The rest of it is actually not too It was a $30 bow from Amazon, and a $300 bow my teacher had to purchase at a special convention from a local South American maker in order for me to use it. To that end, I do not use the rosin that comes with it. The dark rosin I have in my violin sounds great when I use it. 3.

1) The strings are fine. I use pretty high quality ones for my violin and terrible strings The sound is quite good. I was amazed by the lovely C string sound and by the gorgeous mellow sound of the G chord through to the A string. The cello is far prettier to me than a violin. 2. 3. 4. Regarding tuning, I have been tuning the violin using yours. This is my first time playing this viola, and it took five minutes According to the manual that comes with it, you should wait 10 minutes. The instrument has remained in tune aside from that. As the tuning gets better, it gradually gets flatter, but that can be fixed by a fine tuner. 5*br*br** 6. I am okay with the case. This is an extremely simple application, but it gets the job done. The blue color is very appealing to me. Please take note This will not serve as a shoulder rest. * However, please note You will need to purchase a shoulder rest since this instrument does not come with Buying it from the music store is more economical, as the price is the same, and the quality is much better. I have seen it on Amazon for about $15, while the music store had it for the same price. Despite its beautiful appearance and incredible price, this instrument is much more enjoyable to play than my violin. I am extremely pleased with my purchase.
