The fine tuners work much better than others of this size and it was definitely worth spending more than other options in the $70 range

E string are under a lot of tension, the fine tuners on this violin are not robust enough

I tuned the E with the peg to E flat, then tried to use fine tuner

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

But it never gets out of tune by more than half a note, so adjusting the fine tuners is all it needs--I use an app to tune

My bridge was wrapped in tissue paper, and tucked under the fine tuners on the tailpiece.

The tuners are good, and the pegs seem to stay put most of the time

The pegs hold the string tension and are easy to adjust without having to add peg drops, and the fine tuners work fine.

Some other things I've recently ordered to try to make my experience even better is a heavy rubber mute, new (cheap) but good quality rosin, and a snark s-2 tuner (because I don't trust myself tuning by ear just yet, although it does keep its tune)

It also has dyed Rosewood fingerboard and fittings, as well as dyed hardwood chinrest VP-61 tailpiece with 4 built-in fine tuners

At first we weren't t so happy with the instrument
