Reviewer: Rollo Temasi,

I thought this was a great buy. I'm a beginner violist and needed a cheap viola to learn on. It was tough tuning the strings at first but if you put resin or peg drops on the peg holes it becomes easier. It's pretty light because the wood isn't that thick. It does the job though. Can't beat the price either!
