I got this violin for an early christmas gift by my husband, i was surprise how beautiful and sturdy the violin and the case was. Now here is some advice because ur violin is brand new you have to rosin your bow or ur violin will make absolutely no sound. This set is everything you need to start off as a begginer violinist. It came very fast and it is in good condition. Its not tune in yet so you have to do the tuning. Its a great product for a begginer like me and for the price you cant beat the quality and the sounds are good.
