Frequently Asked Questions

The spirit-based varnish is fairly durable, but it's still a finish, so caution is advised. Supervision during practice is always a good idea.
The Allegro holds its own; the solid wood construction provides a richer tone than many laminate competitors, although a more experienced player might notice limitations.
Larsen Aurora strings are a decent starting point, but many teachers recommend upgrading to slightly softer strings as the student progresses to improve playability.
