Current slide {CURRENT_SLIDE} of {TOTAL_SLIDES}- Best Selling in Violas
This is a completely wretched example of a violin, or in this case a viola, shaped object. About everything on it screams wrong, from the construction to the quality of material. The case is the extremely cheap kind and the bow is poorly haired. The strings that come with this are pretty awful and the bridge is a chunk of mystery wood in the right shape but is not nearly yet fitted. The peg holes are too shallow and the tuning pegs themselves are made of some softer wood, possibly whatever most of the entire instrument is made out of (poplar?). Holes in the pegs look too have been put in, off center, with a cordless drill! Sound post is too long and thus is installed crooked. So, what is remotely good about this? Well, it is actually made of wood, a bonus at this price point. Case is cheap but functional. Bow stick is straight and can be tightened. Rosin cake was unbroken. I bought this as a project to turn into an electric viola. I plan on replacing various parts that offend me and filling the body with some sort of foam product to make it a "semi-hollow body" and just using a pickup. So, for these purposes it will serve just fine. You get what you pay for, and if you are looking for a beginner student instrument you really need to look further and plan v on spending more for something playable. You'll spend just as much or more from a luthier to get one of these in a playable condition. However, if you like to tinker and want something to practice your repair/luthier skills on or turn it into a project, this might be the ticket.Read full review

The piece that holds the string keeps on falling off and it flies all around every time my niece plays it. She won't be able to use it at all. It was a truly waste of money. It's basically falling apart.
