I recommend getting some better rosin but you shouldn't of been expecting anything super fancy anyways

I have changed the strings, used peg drops, and bought a nice rosin

so I would recommend buying a super sensitive rosin for the bow instead of using the one included

Had the rosin been better, and the case pocket fit a basic violin book, I would have rated this product a 5.

It came with a great carrying case and the rosin!

So be prepared to prime this bow 2 or 3 times the first couple of uses for several minutes each time, or get some decent rosin

The rosin isn't the best, but I have some Kaplan on the way
