I have before buying read all reviews, so my expectations were not very large. I expected a violin which, although Schick looks but not playable (but she had not be for my Zweke, it was intended only as decoration). The delivery was very quick. Amazon has indicated to me that they between the 3.4. and 6.4. would come and on the third I had been home. The package could be a bit better, the board was not glued but the two parts of the cartons were in each other (I just do not know how to describe it better). Nevertheless, the violin arrived without damage with me. Immediately after opening the box I was holding the beautiful black suitcase in hand. He seems to be very suitable for the mere transport from A to B. In the trunk there was the violin with bow, rosin and Steg. First of all, I've looked at that rosin, since many thought it was not quite inordnung. I got myself a little sandpaper and thus worked briefly that rosin. This also went without any problems and that's why I used it then to the sheet. After about five minutes I had a nice "film of dust" on the sheet. Thus, in my view, that rosin perfectly okay. I then attached the web which was logically not yet secured to prevent damage in transit, and it was very easy and quick. Thereupon I went to the strings that well here most cursed topic. But since I had no problems. The coarse tuning you have to, as any other violin also, at the end just slightly press it with the adjusters could well set the notes. Although I had actually bought the violin only to decorative purposes, I could not let me take a few pieces of violin playing and in spite of my low expectations it was passable what was heard there. Of course, this violin is not comparable to a costing 100 euros. Visually you could tell a difference. Also the sound is of course not the best BUT this violin is suitable for beginners. It is very cheap and of the Qualtät is sufficient for the first exercises.
