Title: Do not buy this "instrument"
Product review: As an elementary strings teacher, I highly recommend NOT purchasing this instrument. Some families ignore the advice of teachers and purchase these instruments. They ALWAYS need repair fresh out of the box and are extremely poor quality. The pegs are painted black to look like ebony -- they do not stay in tune. The strings break pretty easily. The bridge falls off constantly. The bow is cheap, cheap, cheap.If you have a child who is interested in playing the violin, spend about $20 a month to rent a good one from a reputable music store. Very few students who have violins like this one continue playing after a year. Some might say that the instruments are fine for beginners. Far from it; they will hamper a student's progress.
