If you're looking to start learning then this is a great little instrument; however, you WILL need to have it restrung as the strings that come with it are awful to put it lightly. Be sure you purchase a tuner to go along with this otherwise you'll have days when things sound off-key. Well, they are and that's the point of the tuner.
My 10yr old has enjoyed this and my 5yr old has expressed interest in playing now too. I'd recommend this for the beginning player but if you want something with better quality and sound, this is not the choice for you.
