I have been learning for 2 years, I got this one to practice 4 hours a day.
Unfortunately, if a beginner gets this they will defo think they are unlucky to stupid but they are not.
The bridge is so basically designed, the strings are so cheap and make my bow slide. The rosen is horrible, the pegs slide easily.
You need to get new strings 100% and tune from pegs then fine tuners at the bottom. I easily tuned my lovely Gewa but couldn't with this one so if you can you are a genius.
The only benefit is I practice hand position and the songs while not tuned bc this is all I need bc I got my lovely Gewa Allegro to pay the songs on and monitor my progress.
I got this one bc I can't practice on my Gewa as neighbors might complain.
The bag is so nice.
The bow is ok but ny Gewa bow is awesome.
This needs to be something for people to practice silently even if its out of tune.
To tune it you do need a new bridge if you got the money from a Lutheran to make one for you.
You dont need headphones or amplifier unless you wanna play in public you get an amplifier. To use external electrical devices you need a V9 battery so get the rechargeable ones to save the money.
