I've had one for a couple of years now--they'll stop laughing as soon

one if you can.

Ok, I'll have to see if I can find one over here to try out, thanks for
the input.

I was looking at a used one to buy just for fun. I loved the size and the look. The sound was amazing. But I have to say that I found the rubber strings VERY sticky (people talk about putting powder on your hands to play it) and let me say for me the scale is VERY short making the fingering extremely tight! I'm no violin player! I decided not to buy it.
