this violin looks so cool i got the black 1 and its looks like something metallica would use.so the first thing i done when opening up the case for the first time was to set about tuning up.I found that the tu ning pegs were very good nice and smooth to turn and they never slipped back wards.The fine tuners work very well so this never took me long to sort out.The ear phones i got with it never worked at all which was a little disapointing but i had a better pair of my own so i never bothered to send them back.Also you get a 9v battery with it that was fine all was working great .After playing it a while i thought personaly that the wooden bridge is far too high making the strings much too far away from the fret board imposable to play any kind of fast riffs so i did try taking it out the pick up housing and resting it just in front on the violin which made it much better but i got fed up looking at it like that so what i done was to cut the feet of the bridge and put it back in the housing and this worked much better.I dont know how any one can play it with factory set up but apart from that i love my one.
