My experience with this product is great. I decided to start learning how to play violin. I decided to start with a cheap one. This one seemed like the way to go because the only negative reviews I read were contradicted by the helpful description. I paid only about 20 dollars for shipping and that was to receive it 3 days after I ordered. When I got it I just followed the instructions they sent to my email, installed the bridge, and tuned it. Then I plucked the strings to stretch them and retune a few times and before long they stopped slipping. It took a while, and reading up on rosin before I could get the bow to work but now I'm good to go, very happy with my purchase, and ready to find an instructor.

Haven't bought it.. but if you know anything about violins you can see the the seller does not. The violin in the photo is not strung correctly nor is the bridge set in the right place. These are not things the average begginer can do on their own.. Usually one uses their best instrument to take photos of to sell, so that tells you right there that this is a scary thing to think about buying. You should not buy an instrument from someone who has no clue about intstruments. Just looking at it scares me. YIKES!

I purchased this item because I am a beginner I did not want to spend a lot of money on an instrument. You pay for what you get, the white violin is pretty and delivery was fast. When I opened the box, there was a nice violin bag but the strings were not properly strung and the brige was not in place. For someone who does not know a lot about a violin this was a task. There was no instructions showing you how or where to place the brige which effects the sound quality. When I tried to adjust the strings they broke and I had to buy new ones $28. I went to a violin shop in Atlanta and shop owner tweeked the violin for free, he felt sorry for me. He shaved the bridge, he said there was too much wood and it needed to be properly fitted to the violin and it was not, he trimmed the sound piece on the inside of the violin and made some adjustments to the finger board because the end piece was too high which also effects the sound. Then during my 2nd violin lession the bow breaks at the top and apparently the wood was very brittle, so I had to buy a new bow $48. Looking at the violin again I notice there is a crack in the wood that was painted over. If you are interested in buying a violin do your homework 1st visit a Violin shop or rent one.

ok i bought this violin thinking it was only about 60 or 70 dollars but i ended up paying almost 100 dollars including shipping wich was more than 30 dollars and the violin didnt come tell a week later and the worst of it is it was damaged i had to take it to the violin shop and cant play it for another week do not buy this violin even though it is a buetiful violin it isnt worth it unless you are willing to pay alot of money for a crappy violin
