Fair price and great sound
I bought this as I'm a bass player who is very interested in traditional chinese and european folk music.
SOUND:
The Daruan sounds really excellent, a nice even tone and full sound. I love the clarity in the instrument and how well it projects.
BUILD QUALITY:
The quality of the Daruan is overall very good, but there are numerous marks on the neck from where the glue has been spilled to attach the plastic and steel frets. There is also a small crack in the varnish/finish of the neck where the neck meets the body of the instrument. These are all stereotypical trademarks of budget chinese factory made instruments.
SETUP/PLAYABILITY:
The Daruan arrived with the bridge fairly out of alignment. Luckily I know how to intonate guitars so didnt have a problem but those with little experience may need to educate themselves. Very easy to do though as the bridge is not glued to the body of the instrument.
CASE:
The case that comes with it is a polystyrene hard shell case, with a material outer cover. It seems of fairly good quality with a zip on the front. Time will see how well it lasts.
