I was aware of the negative reviews when I ordered this, but I wanted a good violin to start with

The negative reviews I saw were that the rosin was DESTROYED when it arrived, which mine was

So I wonder how many of the negative reviews have this and are seriously mad over half a note?Overall, I'm extremely happy

Eventually I plan on buying new strings and seeing if those also improve sound, although I find the sound fine as it is.sorry for the lengthy review, but hopefully this helps!****UPDATE****So as I said, I would come back and say how it ends up being

The 1st replacement was good, except that the E fine tuner screw slips off of the fine tuner finger
