This is an amazing instrument wether your just getting started or you have some experience. I have owned the instrument for about a year and some change and have only had an amazing experience owning it. It’s hard to let go of it but I’m a senior in highschool getting ready to start nursing school in the summer and I really need the money. Again it’s an amazing instrument I recently got it cleaned and oiled about a month ago. Sounds beautiful. It has only one small dent but it dosent affect the sound at all it is perfectly tuned and won’t give you any issues. Thank you so much. Send me a message if you have a questions. Price is negotiable so don’t be scared to offer me less.
