Have I bought this instrument in order again to refresh my violin skills for many years and not to disturb my roommates so. It was a good choice and I am always happy when I take this thing into their own hands. Initially, I could not believe the tailpiece not really, but have been pleasantly surprised. For the time being I will certainly leave it alone and hope that this violin will afford me continue faithful service. Given the low price for the whole package, I can only recommend.
