I've played the viola most of my life, so my daughter decided to try Violin. This violin arrived in great shape. I had been told that sometimes the cheaper violins need some work when they arrive. This one didn't. We tuned it and it was ready to go. The only issue is that it might need to have the strings separated a little - they are very close together. This could be easily done by making new notches in the bridge. Overall, it has a nice sound and holds a tune nicely. We've been using it for almost a year now.

I bought this violin recently for my nephew. He's absolutely fallen in love with this violin--he hasn't been able to stop practicing ever since getting this violin. The sound is just so rich and warm. Initially I had some concerns about buying a violin online, but I had used this company before so I called them with my questions. They even informed me that the violin had a full bridge setup--one of my main questions and concerns. Customer service was extremely helpful and appeased all my fears. I'm so glad I bought this, so my nephew can continue his love of violin/music. It's a dream come true!

Great Violin for the price! I wanted to teach myself violin so I decided to purchase an inexpensive instrument. I have seen nightmare reviews of student violins and having to set up the bridge, but this violin came fully setup. All I needed to do was to roisin the bow and I was playing in a matter of minutes. I highly recommend for someone looking for an inexpensive violin.

This violin sounds good, tunes well, & comes fully set up. No trouble with it so far (using for over 6 months). Don't expect concert level quality from anything this reasonably priced. For any beginner however, this is a fine instrument.

I really like this product. I had never played violin before so I didn't want to spend a ton of money on an instrument I could totally suck at. This violin was a great price and it was in good shape when I got it. I took it to a relative who is a skilled violinist to look it over and he said it was very good quality for the price I paid.

The package was damaged when I recieved it, but overall, the violin itself was perfectly fine. I am very happy with this item! Thanks!

I finally settled on this setup after doing some research on Amazon to find comparably priced instruments. I've played trumpet for a long time and have never picked up a string instrument, so I figured I'd go for a cheap entry level instrument to see if I could take it up. The item arrived a day early and everything in the box looked to be OK. I went ahead and ordered some rosin along with some other things because I heard that the stuff included with these type of instruments isn't very good. I'm glad I did because the block sent with the violin was shattered in the case during shipping, but hey, it's only $2 for a new block. Also, the hair in the bow I got is really poorly attached, with almost half of the hair falling out just from tightening and rosining the bow. I didn't crank it down or really press hard, it just fell out. I'm going to assume it was a lemon. The actual violin itself looks to be really nice especially considering what it cost. I took it to a local music store and they told me it looked like a good instrument for a beginner and hooked me up with a new bow and some strings saying I should be ready to go. All in all, it seems like a decent instrument for someone just starting out. You can't argue with the price, just keep in mind that you do get what you're paying for.

Ordered with the idea that it may not be a great product but I was wrong. I have been around classical violin and blue grass/ country music my whole life and the sound it has was rather Impressive. Bridge is easy to install, no need for peg drops they hold just fine. Bow had minimal strings broken, easy repair with small fingernail clippers. Look was nice and my daughter loves it. Only reason for a rating of four is that on the violin itself there is a dried bead of varnish that I can see but is totally irrelevant to my daughter.

It's a good quality violin in reasonable price. I bought it to my daughter. He is very much happy with it.

The strings are broken and bridge is not mounted. I plan to take it to a workshop to see if it could be fixed for a reasonable price. If not, I plan to return it to the sellor.
