I bought the Walton's little black first and find the high D note is easier to play than the sweet tone, but the Sweetone has better tone quality and plays in tune a little better

It's easy to play and overall is just a great quality for the price.

The tone is clear and the quality is excellent

My wife (who is a great violinist and singer) has said my pitch while singing has greatly improved as I have been playing

Kudos for appealing to her, as picky as she already is.
