A student of mine just ordered a Vancore 4.3 Paduak. He received it yesterday, and asked me to come help him set it up. I was appalled at the shoddiness and bad design of the instrument's construction. The endpieces do not seem to have a position which they can lock into to keep them from swiveling. This causes the resonators to slide out of their holding slats. Also, the main cross beam support for the frame was drilled slighty off of where it should be, so that we had to re-drill some of the metal to allow the screws to fasten the pieces. I realize that this instrument is a beginner instrument, and cheap with regard to other manufacturers, but should students really be throwing their hard earned $2,000 into a piece of junk??
