" ... SUPER cheap material. ... "
" ... The strings do not stay tight! ... "
" ... Cheaply made majority plastic terrible ... "
" ... However, it began to break after the first use. ... It wasn't able to be tuned because the strings were loose and unabled to be tightened. ... The bow started fraying quickly and the violin itsself was poorly made. ... "
" ... When I fist opened up this case I was not suspecting the state of the violin came in. ... I'm not an idiot so I knew the strings were bound to be loose from transport. ... I understand that the tuning pegs eventually lose tension over a long time. ... The tuning pegs wouldn't even keep still when I was trying to put the strings back on. ... The Rosin that came with it was cracked all the way through. ... This Violin also feels really cheap. ... I honestly didn't know what to expect since this was my first time holding a violin, but I was expecting something that didn't feel like it came from a Dollar store. ... I was at least expecting the Violin to have SOME weight. ... "
" ... Strings broke upon first time trying to tune. ... "
" ... Is it normal for the strings to not be able to be tightened? ... "
" ... Opened the case and found a string is already broken, the pegs holes have gaps thus not enough friction to keep the strings in tune. ... "
