The instrument itself isn't bad

This instrument is sturdy and has a nice sound

A good cheap starter instrument without any major build quality issues outside what you'd expect from a low priced instrument

Very sturdy and heavy duty and lined and padded to protect your instrument

So I definitely wouldn't buy this for a child as their primary instrument to take to school (kids can be so cruel to each other).
