Title: Save your money :(
Product review: I really wanted this violin to be as solid as it looked. Certain pieces of it are well made, such as the chin rest--solid wood, very nice. And it comes with two bows, strings, and rosin--a great deal, even though one of the bows was overtightened out of the box and rendered useless, and both bows were slightly warped. Better that it comes with two, at least!But I was disappointed to find that within less than half times of gently using this violin during lessons, the tailpiece snapped, making it unplayable. Right in the middle of a lesson, too. I have it in for repairs, to fix both the tailpiece and widen the holes for the string pegs, which are far too small according to my teacher.I would save the $100 and invest in a beginner's violin in the $400-500 range, if you're serious about becoming a student. I wish I had!
