Who wants to play seriously (So beginners) should go first borrow if possible or to "test only times" a borrowed instrument at the music school is best in a music store. For Violin: Optical poorly finished. So badly painted. But still playable. However, the bridge is almost "too flat" for me personally. But as mentioned in the title, you can play it. The plug for votes one has, however, purely press very firmly. To bow: of arc I'm pretty disappointed. Even if I have the hair stretched to feel that they still are too loose. For bow resin: Since I tested with my 'old' bow, I can not comment. To boot: is OK.
Conclusion: The violin up to my expectations. For this price, you can expect a professional instrument! And you should not either. Shipping was super fast. And I was missing or packing list the bill !!!!
