I'm a mus...Thank you for telling it like it is. I'm a music educator and last year my neighbor called me in a panic because she bought a $99 violin on sale for $79. "It looks okay, but we can't get any sound out of it at all." She was naive, it didn't look okay. The strings were attached to the tailpiece in the opposite order and slipped up loosely into the peg box. The bridge was in the storage area under the instrument in bubble wrap. I told her she should return it, insist on a refund and let me help her choose a good instrument from somebody who deserved her business. The saddest part of the story is that this was a local music merchant, not a mail order. Her daughter had violin lessons the next day, I caved and set the instrument up.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
