The gift has been given and tuned up. To my untrained ears, it doesn't sound bad. Before we opened it. I told her it may not be very good and that that the 2nd option would be a better used one. We tuned it up and rosined the bow. Watched a video on how to use the bow and it sounded pretty good. I had to get used to how much to turn the tuning pegs and how firm to push them in to hold tune. The micro tuners on the tail piece were a big help. The option was to get a Yamaha V5 I saw on Reverb that would be around $400 with shipping. She said that it was fine to learn on and if she got really into it, we could sell it and upgrade.
Trying to figure out the new price was a little confusing. I see some at $900 and one at $599.
