40 Euro ?? Could be nothing ... of ways. The sound can be compared with guitars in price ranges in the 300 to 800 Euro - if you look at higher quality strings rears fortiori. Processing is cheap, yes, but for the price does not bother. Only the bars are not processed partly perfect since the buzzes one time or another a string. But wait - the practice / etc jamen awesome. My Studio Partners & Customers were amazed when they heard the price. Buy!
