Welcome Winston. I don't know about that violin. But jump in and start having fun.
Opportunity is often missed because it wears suspenders and looks like hard work.

Thanks. I am now waiting for the arrival. I am still not entirely sure if exactly what to start with it arives. i think I will look for any damage that occurred during shopping and then check the tune. afterwards i will probably just try to rosin hpayer up and play a tune. I am very exited. I cant quite find a name. What do you think of Irene?

Gliga makes some good instruments. They tend to be on the warm/soft side of the tonal spectrum, but they aren't overly heavy and should open up over time. My son has a Gems 2 set up with Dominants. The octagonal bow works well enough.
There is a lot of competition in that price range, so a lot of times the difference boils down to service, setup, strings, and the luck of the draw. Good luck!

I have 7/8 workshop/gem 1. I had tried dominant strings, pro-arte, and zyex strings on it, I like it the best when I set it up with zyex. I will try corelli crystal light tension next. I am also planning on making a new bridge for it to see if I could improve the sound.
Hello friend, Isn't the D string aluminum for Zyex and the rest synthetic??? Why is this the case? I always thought the strings would be made the same with the exception of the E string. Sorry if this question seems quite ignorant on my part.
