This is a great value for a new to intermediate Player. But be prepared for some upgrades and adjustments. It will need new Strings right off the bat. I put on D'Addario #10s on it. It made a difference in the Tone and is a great improvement on Sound. And since you are changing the Strings, before you do, adjust the Fret Board and get the proper intonation. You will definitely need to do that. Finally, the Tuners are very poorly made. Upgrade those, and you'll have a very nice Instrument.

This instrument is fine for a beginner that does not have an ear for quality sound. If you want something that is better than a tin can you should find a different product. that being said, the Mando arrived in a timely manner with out any damage.

It is a laminate (plywood) instrument. It sounds great after it's set up properly. It's important to sand the the footprint of the bridge so it mates with to the top of the instrument. After doing this it has good sustain and pretty decent timbre. However - it because it is a laminate instrument, you run the risk of the layers of laminate on the top coming unglued. This happened to me while adjusting the bridge for intonation. When this happened, it also revealed that the gloss black top is some kind of plastic layer, not paint. I've heard that the burst finish has a better sound. My guess it's because the entire top is wood laminate and the plastic dampens the sound. I'm ordering another one, but I'm getting the burst paint job, not the black.

One of the best value for the money instruments I've seen in a long time. Playable fresh outta the gate or take it up a few notches with a little pro set up (change out the strings etc) It's really a pretty little mandy too. Solid construction, lovely sound. Its really ace for violinists looking to expand their repertoire too. The small fretboard is SOOOO much easier on the hands than say, a guitar. And with the same tuning..it's like picking up an old friend.

it came all in one piece , it is well built and plays nice but only after you put new strings on it, the strings that come on it not to good one of the A strings had a kenk in it that I could not see and was always out of tune , however after better strings it has really good sounds, strings are not expensive. all in all i like it a lot. jj
