This is perfect! My daughter and I are new to violin and it helps to have the lines for guidance when playing. The colors are very visible, the rest is see-through and the whole piece is simple to put on.Now, I didn't realize it was one piece (well, each section is perforated) so I ordered two of the same size thinking I could remove each strip and use it for my daughters much smaller violin. Surprise to me when the package came in but I am not a quitter! I simply cut the strips and found the corresponding note. Let me say, it easily comes off without any residue if you mess up!Great buy, shipped fast, and I have one satisfied little girl (and trust me, that's rare to come by).
