At this price it is not "made in France" by the quality of manufacturing and tuning are just okay, the sound is quite nice, and it's a featherweight 5kg max, I found the bellows little hard but after a month of use it has improved a lot. The instrument comes in a beautiful case. The seller is one of the most serious on Amazon, the slightest incident is handled quickly all expenses taken care of, he does not hesitate to call you by phone. If your budget is at this price, so do not hesitate.
