This crap was a waste of money!!!!!!!!!!!, November 9, 2008
This review is from: Full Size Violin 4 x 4 With Case - Dark Blue
First off, the color is cerulean, not dark blue. Second, it didn't come with a bridge, but when they sent the bridge, it did not have those notches or spaces to put the strings in, and the poor quality wood gave me a splinter. Third, Half of the dang instrument isn't even real wood. Fourth, the string came out of one of the pegs. Fifth, I found many other violins for the same price as this piece of crap to be real maple and ebony wood, and have everything included. Sixth, the bow hair was stained red. Seventh, the paint they used on the violin was cheap and looked as if it would fade very soon. Eighth, The fingerboard had oil on it. (So far, it looks like it was used) Ninth, three bow hair pieces already came out the day I took the violin out of the box. Tenth, the red case pictured above was really tan when it had arrived. Eleventh, the strings are really cheap and are not at all intended for professionals or something to last long. Twelfth, the rosin I received was all messy and already used, and some of it was chipped. Thirteenth, the leather on the bow hair where you put your index finger when playing is coming off. Fourteenth, the lines on the outside look like someone just ran a sharpie across to make it. Fifteenth, this thing is a complete waste of money!!!!

This review is from: Full Size Violin 4 x 4 With Case - Dark Blue
The violin isn't that bad actually... the bow is pretty crappy and you should consider buying a different one with better quality if you're really serious about playing. The violin itself could used a little tune up, but overall it is okay for a beginner. I noticed the price went up from 60 to 100 dollars. Either the quality got better, or...I don't know why. But whatever the price, this violin is a great start for beginners. Just replace the strings with helicore twisted steel ones, and the tone will be a lot better. You can also replace the finger board, tuning pegs, tailpiece, and chinrest with spruce, ebony, or maple wood to make the quality of the instrument at its fullest. But do take some time into doing this, because it may cost a lot. I really recommend buying this instrument. I can't tell it all to you, so buy it for yourself.

Great instrument, October 27, 2005
This review is from: Full Size Violin 4 x 4 With Case - Dark Blue
Everything came with the violin that my son needed for school. Being a beginner I did not know what we would need and it turns out we already had everything. Thanks so much. Should I need anything else I will definitely see if you have it. And thanks for such quick delivery.
