This is my first instrument purchased as an educational tool. The cover is fabric, dense, it fixes the instrument well inside, there is a niche for storing rosin, napkins and other trifles. The insert is made of soft material, pleasant to the touch, well adapted to the size of the instrument. There is a convenient fixation of the bow on the counterpart of the cover. The violin itself is performed well, I did not find any defects in the varnish and the soundboard. All neck and hardware joints are well finished and fit. The strings in the kit are mediocre, but you can play. The tuning does not last long, you have to tune the instrument before each use. I can't understand if this is a feature of the violin or a minus of this instrument. Hair falls out of the bow, about 5 strands in two weeks. Otherwise, the violin is easy to use and comfortable to practice. I can recommend it as the first tool for the available funds.
