I really love my Cello! Iv been in orchestra for 6 years and this is would be perfect for a beginners. However the strings are cheap and my D string came unthreaded at the base when I tried to tune it when I received it. It has great sound and tone, but the groves on it bridge are not deep enough so the A string has a hard time staying on the bridge.
Surprisingly a very beautiful violin for the price. However the it comes with a broken rosin. For a beginner that was stressful. But besides that nice first time violin.
I got this for my son and it worked fine since he's a beginner. However, after 2 months, he broke his second string. Not sure if this is normal but now we have to buy another string and its expensive.
I can't say much in comparison to a more expensive violin as this is the first one I have ever played. I docked one star because my bow seems a bit roughly made. It lost quite a few hairs at the start. So far I am loving it!
The quality of the violin is pretty good. However, some accessories are low in quality like the bow rosin, and the fine-tuning screws. Overall sound quality is excellent. You should change the low-quality rosin and add some high-quality at least.
The color is great. Everything included is helpful. One of the tubing pegs is broken but considering I'm buying and inexpensive starter kit I expected to have to invest in a few replacement parts.
We purchased the violin for our son to use in school. A little upset that there was a stain on the fabric it came with and the rosin came broken so we had to buy new rosin. Overall we like it and I think it's a good violin for beginners.
You will want to but better bow rosin, and maybe replace the strings later on as they are a bit tinny sounding. For the price this is a good bit overall.
The most I like about this Violin is... It's very light weight and perfect for my school going daughter. But one thing I would like to mention is that the tunning peg comes out of its hole.
So, I can say that the item is very nice and arrived in good shape. However, it was shipped with OnTrac. Shipped on 12/1 and just now arrived on 12/12. I live in Oregon and the items says it was shipped from Ontario, California. So, the shipping time was absolutely sub par! Plus the box arrived with terrible water damage. Thank goodness the violin came in a nice case for the added protection. I would order again, BUT I would absolutely request a different shipping company. Thank you!
So far so good. The pins are a little loose making tuning slightly difficult. This is overall a very nice product for the price point and a nice starting point for anyone that is just starting. It allows you to get a violin without having to commit to a couple hundred dollar instrument.
As a beginner violinist, this violin is more than good enough. How often you need to tune it will depend on the humidity. Once I moved to somewhere with humidity above 50%, the rate of tuning went from every time I wanted to play it to once every few months. Regardless of humidity, I recommend reinstalling the strings to keep the pegs from slipping.
Just want to let you all know... this violin is great for beginners. Especially if you are only practicing. The sound is great. But it doesn't tune well.. Have to keep playing with it to get it tune. Other than that..the violin is a nice beginner violin.
The bridge is loose, I think because the instrument was in the heat of the trunk of the truck that delivered it for a long time, so this caused everything to move and have a little mark (I have no problem with them being detailed information, but should specify the packaging so that this does not happen)... The strings are not the best quality; other than that, everything is fine.
Thick wood. Seems study. Good quality for the money. One thing I will mention is that you're going to wanna buy an extra resin block, dark or light, whatever. Anything would be better than this thing. You'll find it's impossible to get you're bow to stick to the sting, no matter how much you try to coat it.
Tengo dos meses usando este violín y me a resultado muy útil y práctico. Incluye estuche, cuerdas extra y cojín lo que es muy bueno para comenzar a tocar.
Las cuerdas no son las mejores, a mí se me rompió una a los 2 días por suerte trae un remplazo pero yo recomiendo comprar un par extra de cuerdas y de mejor calidad.
El estuche es bonito pero muy sencillo y lo mejor sería adquirir un soporte para el violín.
Sin embargo es una exelente obcion como primer violin y yo estoy muy contento ...Tengo dos meses usando este violín y me a resultado muy útil y práctico. Incluye estuche, cuerdas extra y cojín lo que es muy bueno para comenzar a tocar.

I am pleased with the instrument. I lowered the strings at the nut and put ProArte strings on and it plays much easier and sounds much better. When I opened the case the strap that holds the .violin in place while in the case had come unglued.. The pegs had slipped and all 4 strings were a jumbled mess in the peg I think it is an excellent beginner violin after a few "tweaks"' The bows are adequate. All accessories were present.

Im listing 4 stars because i am excited to see my daughter learn to play an instrument and practice at something that can be lifelong fun and expression. My instrument came super quickly even with this being a very busy time of year for the retail industry
Service Team:
It will be a lifelong fun. Merry Christmas! Glarry.
Beautiful beginner's instrument!! Quality workmanship and everything a new player needs. My only complaint would be the rosin was pure crumbled chalk but that's an easy fix.
I have been playing string instruments since I was 12 years old but never the vilion Now in my early 50s I decided to learn the violin. Out of the box, I did my first sacle, set up was a bit difficult, the bridge was a bit bulky, but the quality of this instrument was very good. Especially for the price. Will shave down the bridge, widen the strings at the nut, and have a set of tuners on the way. I was impressed with the sound as well, the resenation was pleasing to the ear. Nice instrument.
I did manage to set it up myself but it was bit difficult with the bridge not having great notches for the strings. It sound good for the price and I find it good for me as a beginner. Though there are some problems like the nut being cut a bit awkwardly which I think may affect tuning and there was chip and what appears to be a crack in the nut as well.
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.
