Frequently Asked Questions
It's generally good for the price point, but may require slight adjustments to the barrel position to achieve perfect intonation across the range.
The case is functional and protective for general use, but a heavier-duty case would be preferable for serious touring or frequent air travel.
The plating is standard for instruments in this price range; expect some tarnishing and regular polishing with a microfiber cloth to maintain its shine.
