I really want to say that I have not seen a violin up till now, for this low price, that has the potentials of a profi violin. The sound is incredible for a new violin. I enjoy playing on it, sorry my English is not perfect, but to me this violin almost is! I have put Pirastro Tonica strings on it and on the G-string one Obligato. It makes this violin sound very deep and mellow!

well, just one last remark: the fingerboard and pegs are not ebony, but boxwood. I do prefer ebony.
