This was a repurchase, since my monstrous dog got ahold of my previous one and bit it in half. Before I re-bought this same one I looked around at others, but this is still the one that really resonated with me. It has such a beautiful sound, my small hands are just fine playing it and the price is good for the quality. While it isn’t tunable, this allows it to look quite sleek (not sure if that’s a fair trade off for everyone lol). In my experience, once you find the right grip, it doesn’t require a lot of breath. While you are learning, higher notes may need a bit more breath, however. Thank you! (Purchasing and shipping was easy and quick, and I live overseas so that was great!)
