Good price for a student cello. Be prepared to replace the strings, bridge and pegs. Tuning pegs are made with a very soft wood that cracked during any turning. Strings popped pretty immediately on tuning. Overall needs some upgrades to make it playable.
Emailed the service email box that was listed on the email to request new pegs, and the email box isn't legitimate and returns "undeliverable"

Upon further inspection the bow is also cracked. So it's dirty, covered in glue, and already broken.
This was supposed to be a surprise for my husband and now I'm ashamed to even tell him I spent money on this.
My violin bow was cracked and when I went to tighten it the bow snapped in two pieces so I wish I could get a new bow 4/4 bow.

Thank you. So much for helping me get a new bow I appreciate it and if I could change the stars to a 5 star I would so thank you .
Missing the E string fine tuneing knob. And none of the strings will even stay tuned long enought for me to get finished tuning then let alone when I start playing it. Was hopeing it would at least hold a tune qn instruments most needed quality.
val and tone knobs where hanging out of the violin and I only found one screw in the case to fix it and it's just barely working I contacted Glarrymusic and there response was vary quick and help full best customer service I have ever dealt with
This was a gift for my little sister, but sadly the bow hairs broke the very first day, as I was tuning it for her. Also, the rosin came broken in soo many pieces it is almost impossible to use it. She was very excited about this violin, but unfortunately it wasn't what we expected.
Edit: I was able to email Glarry and he responded immediately. My concerns were resolved and overall I am satisfied by how it was taken care of.
I bought this violin (4/4 size) around a week and a half ago, It came in a timely manner and I was pretty happy at first glance. Although when I examined the violin it had some MAJOR issues. Overall it is not what I ordered and bad quality. (The case was nice though)
1. It was 23" long TOTAL, I ordered a 4/4 size
2. Rosin was completely broken
3. Bow hair(s) snapping
4. No grooves in the bridge for the strings
5. Fine tuners are not sturdy and keep moving (EVERYWHERE)
6. Slipping pegs.

My daughter has a 1/2 violin that is just slightly too large for her so I bought this 1/4 size because she will not need it very long and the price was right. But you get what you pay for. It's crooked and the strings do not want to stay on the bridge. Even her teacher with decades of experience struggled to only play one string at a time. The shoulder rest that comes with this violin is useless. My biggest concern is that this violin was only packaged in its case and then stuck inside a plastic ...My daughter has a 1/2 violin that is just slightly too large for her so I bought this 1/4 size because she will not need it very long and the price was right.

The shoulder rest that comes with this violin is useless. My biggest concern is that this violin was only packaged in its case and then stuck inside a plastic bag for shipping. It could have very easily been damaged and should most definitely, even for this incredibly low price, be shipped inside a cardboard box. This violin has many good reviews so it's possible I just got a dud. But in hindsight I do wish I had spent more money and got my daughter the smaller size violin in the same brand as her larger one. If this were her very first violin ever she surely would have given up immediately because it is so poorly made, a real struggle to play, and not at all enjoyable. Two stars only because the shipping was quick.

The violin looks just like the picture. However, when mine came in, the sound post was not in place. It was rolling around inside the violin. My package was also missing the electric tuner that was meant to be there per the violin's description. Overall. pretty disappointed unfortunately.

Great instrument! My son loves his new violin thank you to Glarry music. It was pristine and just as show. The fact that he could tune it himself was great as well. Just wish it didnt take so long plus I paid to rush it.

Giving a 2 star since it took a month to receive this was a birthday present that was very late. It sounds nice considering the price

If you are a music lover, you should like and protect your instrument. Violin strings are very important, and the violin can't play wonderful music without the strings.
Good strings should have good sound quality, fast tuning, stable pitch, good playability (fingers feel safe, strings react quickly) and long life. The strings used by different instruments are different, and the material of the strings greatly affects the tone of the instrument. The tension of the string is necessary for the string. The tension level is generally divided into five levels: ultra-low, low, medium, high and ultra-high. The higher the tension, the thicker the string. The thicker the strings, the more mellow the sound.
When you are using an instrument, you first need to learn how to adjust the strings, followed by the installation of the code and the use of the bow, especially for beginners of a musical instrument.
