Fast shipping very well packed. Very good violin but you must immediately lower the height of the bridge see tutorials on YouTube. Take an hb pencil along the fingerboard facing the bridge draw a line on the bridge and sand. The strings will not break. If the pegs turn badly or do not go in completely you need to sand them a little and put chalk. As soon as you notice that the violin is really good buy a hardened sanded Aubert bridge and you have a magnificent sound. A Yamaha 5w speaker. And there you will not regret your purchase. I bought it 8 months ago.
