I play the fiddle and bought this as a first violin for my 10 year old granddaughter, I was a little dubious about buying this model going by reviews elsewhere, but from a players point of view this is more that enough for a first instrument. it comes with a decent case and bow and was very well set up ( I know what I’m talking about). Omega music supplied a check list complete with how to care and look after the instrument ( nice touch . ) I then took it out of the case , tuned , and retuned it to let the stings settle over a couple of days before presenting it. I really can’t fault this instrument.
