This review is from: Full Size Violin 4 x 4 With Case - Green
I bought this product thinking it would be a good beginners violin for myself. My standards were kind of low...and I have to say that when I received this package I was disappointed.
1.) The color you see in the picture is not correct. It's more of a [really shiny] blueish-green. It's not a pretty color. Plus, it wasn't painted very well. There are paint dots where a clump has dried, on the front!
2.) The strings where tangled up. Took me forever to fix it.
3.) The strings were not placed in the correct order to begin with. [1243?]
4.) String 1 [being G] was broken at the top close to the peg-- and couldn't be correctly tuned.
5.) I couldn't get one of the pegs to stay in its place.
All in all, the violin I received made my low standards seem like a far-off distant place. Unreachable by the violin entirely.
However, I do actually believe that if you restring it as soon as you get it -- it might not seem so bad. The bow is pretty durable. Also, the wood is nice. Better than some.
