This was a gift for my niece. She wanted to start learning. But with so little effort a string snapped already. Despite that, I know she still loves it. So I really hope this instrument makes the sounds she hopes to hear as her interests sparks in this new instrument. Shipping was on time and it was delivered with care. I would order here again for my next music enthusiast. Thank you for making this learning opportunity affordable.
I bought this as a birthday gift for my granddaughter. It is great for a younger beginner. I took off 1 stars for the simple fact that the strings snapped and need replacing. Pretty disappointing. Other than that, she loved her gift.
Love the ability to connect it to an amp and experiment with sound. The only downside is that initial setup takes a bit of patience, especially tuning. Once it's ready though, it plays nicely.
The craftsmanship is decent for the price. The body and fittings feel solid. The tone isn't perfect for concert hall quality, but for lessons and home practice it's absolutely acceptable.
It's harder to tune and harder to get rosin to work on this violin than on the full sized one from Glarry (V402), and there are more options at full size. But this is the only one currently offered in this size, I think. It's certainly a decent value for only $60 to get a case and a violin and a bow, so that's good. The little on this is for doesn't really practice yet, so it's hard to assess how it will work out.

Assembly of the bridge and initial tuning is fairly easy, but the tuning does also slip easily and needs to be retuned a bunch at first. I am hopeful that will improve with time, but we shall see. The rosin is difficult to apply, even after scoring the block of rosin, but hopefully it will build up over time on the bow and strings and enable a playable sound.
For the price of $60, you probably can't find a cheaper one that comes with a bow and case. Not having any other 1/4 size violins to compare it to, it's hard to make a comparison. But the little one enjoys just having a violin. So I'm not disappointed with the purchase. It's a very small investment for an introduction to music making.
I bought this violin for casual playing at home. It's not a professional?grade instrument, but for practice and basic learning it does the job.
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.
