I was thrilled to get this violin for my son, who plays several instruments, but has never played a violin. I played in the orchestra in school, so I have some knowledge of how to play a violin, and this one seems well made and easy to use with little set up. The bridge requires placement, which is easy and well explained in the email received after ordering. The included rosin works better if you "rough it up" a bit prior to using; otherwise it is difficult to get enough on the bow to produce a decent sound. The tuning pegs need to be securely pushed in to keep it tuned, but again, explained and easy. I would recommend this for a student or any musician trying to expand their collection of instruments. It comes with a protective cloth case and extra strings! #Rankbusterreviews #Sponsered #Mugig
