Normally it only take 5-14 days to receive your order from China. 98% orders will be arrived within 20 days. Just like all of other new violins, you may need to retune strings first few times when you start to play. When cleaning, please using soft cloth to clean the body and strings, and loose the hair of the bow after playing. In order to not damage the violin when shipping, the bridge may be under the fine tuners with a white paper package. You can put the bridge on the right place just like our pictures showed before you retune the strings. How to keep strings in tune: push the pegs inward as you tune the strings up to pitch. This ensures that the pegs hold tighter as the tension of the string goes up. If it does not work, use peg compound to help lock the pegs in place. You can also apply chalk (or rosin cake) onto the pegs where it is inserted into the peg box.
