Hi, Jacob!


Instrument arrived Monday evening.

I've put about 2-3 hours a day on it since.  It is exactly as you described
it.


...


The reason I was looking for another instrument is because my spouse says my
current one (VERY inexpensive VLO ... violin-looking-object) was kind of
screechy and not always pleasant sounding.  Also, it is my predilection to
play on the low strings in first position.  (I must be a fustrated viola
player ... LO!)


Spouse's reaction:  "Oh my .... nice and chocolaty!  Do NOT send it back!"



So ... if you don't mind ... I'll not be returning it.       :)


...


BTW ... how is "Gliga" pronounced?
If I'm to provide positive word-of-mouth, I want to be saying it right!



Thank you!



   Grinnin',
