It is so easy to play, and so much fun -- that much bass power under the chin is likely to go to one's head! I tried it as a viola and didn't like it nearly as well; besides, it didn't seem worth learning a whole new clef just to go one string deeper.
In time, I will fit the rosewood pegs from the fitting set. The chinrest needs some tweaking to be comfortable, though, so I'm playing it bare.
The only issue is a certain buzz at several frequencies. I am going to diligently ignore it for now, because I suspect it is a loose lining because I mixed my glue too weakly when gluing up the body. One day I will therefore have to open up the body and figure it out. Today is not that day. Today it's time to play!
