It says on the instructions it is. I don't play and don't know the difference. I bought it for my grandson and it was a lot nicer than the one he was given at school.

I think most highschool orchestras would want something slightly more upscale. Unfortunately as with most musical instruments you get what you pay for. If the student has never played violin previously this would be an excellent choice, but if they are outgrowing their old violin then this would probably be considered pretty substandard.

I actually don't remember as my buddy hooked it all up for me because he's good at that and I am not LOL but even if it doesn't it's still really awesome and I love mine, when I bought it the price was $99.00 and I love the way it sounds.

Although I don't know it for sure, but I doubt it. It is a pretty basic instrument. I bought it for my child.

Yes, this trumpet is an excellent "Student Starter" trumpet and is more than adequate for a beginner!

I bought this clarinet for my daughter as a 'back up' clarinet for marching band practice because her Yamaha was in for repairs. She has a Buffet which I don't mind her using for competitions but I hate to have her take it out on the field for practices. She tried to tune it, as did her 2 band directors and they never could get a decent sound out of it. Her director basically told her that if he saw it in her hands again he would take it and light it on fire. So....my only suggestion would be to return it if you can and invest in a better instrument. You can look around and find a decent second hand one. Good luck!

In a year, this horn definitely needs to see a repair shop unless you never use it. The tuning would be off, and some of the keys would be leaky. You don't really have to fix it up, but with an instrument that doesn't function properly, a student would develop bad habits. If you are actually serious about music, you definitely need to bring your budget up.

It's a very fine bass flute. If you purchase one you won't regret.I play mine every single day...

Yes! I purchased for my son for 1st year band and he liked it better than the school loaner.

this would be appropriate for any age, even an adult. it sounds great, is well tuned, and doesn't look juvenile at all in my opinion. also it is economical. i waited for it to be on sale for around twenty dollars, sometimes it is higher. i think you will not be disappointed at all, with the exception that it is a limited number of notes so you won't be able to play really complex pieces with a wide range of notes- but that is of course clear in the description.

Hi, It's a professional level instrument Dunhuang model#4A. You can check the manufacturer's website for detail description. It's not listed as beginner's model as some comment said. The commentator didn't buy it from us. It's possible that he bought a wrong one or fake one. Delivery to NC is 5 business days.

The valves don't stick a lot but I'm not sure if it's a great orchestra quality trumpet or not (I'm only in high school).. I hope this helps!

First of all, (unfortunately) I am not a musician. I got this piano for my son's lessons. To my untrained ear, it sounds terrific. When he's played for others (including professional musicians), they have all commented on the quality of the sound that's being produced. We have been very happy with this purchase, good luck with yours.

Most band teachers don't like it however my daughter lives hers. It's a good starter instrument. As the years goes by, you will need to upgrade to something better. My daughter is in the 8th grade and has had this particular clarinet for over a year. I know that when she go to high school, I'll have to get her a much better and expensive one.
