Many thanks for the advice/help.

While it a small instrument, and not too extravegant, I don't think it's a "toy". It does have metal strings and decent looking tuning keys. I don't think this one will last all too long, but maybe long enough to get my little Emma more interested in music.

Well, as fate would have it, I already broke the 4th string! dang, I hate when that happens, especially when I don't have backups! Oh. well. Emma didn't mind too much. I'll find some new ones tomorrow.

The electronic tuner seems to be working, but I have to be practically on top of the note for it to read the note... hard to explain, but in short it's useful, but not user friendly to people like me.

OBTW, Emma is definately a Lightfoot fan! you should hear her sing "The Ponyman"! her favorite.
