I wanted to buy a violin and my friend some guitar...

I wanted to buy a violin and my friend some guitar stuff. Driven to this store especially for trying out the violin. Unfortunately, there was no bow attached to the violin. After a 30 minute wait asked an employee to give me a cello bow. Indicated that it was not the right one. He picked up a new bow, warning that if I broke it, I would have to pay. It is a bit strange that this is not said to people who try guitars of 4000 euros, but with me a bow of 20 euros, but good. Unfortunately, a bow does not work without being waxed first. This indicated to the seller. Unfortunately, that could not mean anything to me, because then the bow could no longer be sold. Indicated that I wouldn't buy a violin without trying. I was then told that I could buy a violin, try it out at home, and then always swap, even if the stick was waxed. Again explained that I wanted to try out first and compare the different types. This didn't matter, I couldn't try a violin. Idle business left.

In addition to all discussion, the employee was very unfriendly and we had to wait a long time. The violins were missing strings and one was broken. Almost all items lacked price tags. Missed sales for Bax and total waste of our time.
