This violin is not a true 4/4 violin and not a real instrument! For this price, this is now also not at all possible. Therefore, the processing and worst (my violin, for example, has a completely wrong mounted fretboard). So you should have technical skills and make yourself knowledgeable on the Internet as a real instrument looks, to make it playable accordingly (eg position the dock right on YouTube etc.). The vocal sounds for violin, there are now online. CAUTION: Do not attempt without reference tone to vote, because the strings (naturally of inferior quality) tear very quickly and already the fun is over! As a toy - a little on "rumzuklimpern" - or as cheap decoration It is, however, well suited, because you can, if the violin takes some getting set properly optimize (string position on the saddle, ridge up and adjust and optimize string action - took in me about an hour or two) really play little melodies it. Of course not compare with a real instrument, but makes a lot of fun !!!
