Product Description

A step up in quality from the more affordably priced Beginner Series, the Barcelona Student Series Violin is ideal for those learning to play the instrument in earnest. In particular, the Student Series has an aged finish that is more natural looking than the Beginner Series, and it also has sturdier tuning pegs. Made of hand-carved solid maple with a spruce top, the violin has an eye-catching gloss finish that protects the instrument from scratches and surface wear. Moreover, it comes with everything you need to start playing today -- bow, rosin, bridge, shoulder rest, and extra strings -- along with a lightweight, plush-lined hard shell case to ensure that your instrument remains in mint condition. Buy with confidence as all Barcelona products come with a one-year warranty against manufacturing defects.

I liked it a lot. The violin was just the way I thought it would be. After installing my bridge, I realized that a very novice Violin player wouldnt know how to put the bridge on. I would think they would put some kind of directions in there. All in all though the bow took very little Rosin to play, it has a pretty amazing sound quality for such a low priced violin. I like it and I think it will be great to continue my ventures to further my violin playing.

The violin was nice , I can not give it five stars because the tuning pegs , chin rest,and tail piece were black not brown like it shows. The bridge was installed but it is crooked. It came with a extra E string and rosin and a nice wooden colored bow. Thankes for quick delivery

5.0 out of 5 stars Needs New Picture But Great!, May 15, 2009

Beautiful violin! I'm a beginner, so I admit I don't know the difference between one type/brand and another, but it seems great to me. Since this is the first violin I've ever owned (or set up), I didn't know how to install the bridge, but it was easy enough to Google it, and find a youtube video or two to help. Being familiar with stringed instruments, tuning was also easy enough, and since my pitch pipe hasn't come in yet, I used an online tuner ( http://www.get-tuned.com/violin_tuner.php ), found a video on how to rosin the bow, and I was in business.

The only difference from what was advertised and what I got was that the blue violin has black accents instead of brown (wood), but I thought that looked better. However, the picture should be updated so that people know what they're getting. Another person noted that, as well, but since that was fine with me, I still purchased it.

It should be noted that it doesn't come with a shoulder rest, so you should probably get one. Kinda hurts without one; mine's on the way.
