I love that the toy looks like a real instrument and makes music. My 27 months old boy absolutely loves it! He's been playing it for a month and it has not grown old on him.

My son begged for a violin and was very happy to get this. He likes that the violin plays when he bows the strings. You don't really get to pick the song it plays as it will just play the next one in line. It is loud enough to please the child but not so loud that I want to break it. The sound is tinny, but of course the child does not care.

I chose this toy violin mainly because of its function that melodies can be played by bowing. But this function does not work at all since the first time we use it. To avoid all the processes of returning the item, I just let my toddler play it with the auto button, which completely eliminated the educational part of this toy.

Have 3 year old who asked Santa for a violin. Older brother plays violin and he idolizes him, so was looking or one that looked like the real thing, Received item and clip to hold batteries was broke. The violin did not respond to bow but to fingers pressing on strings. Their was an automatic mode that played song without pressing strings and a mode that allowed notes to be played when strings were touched. That lasted about an hour an now only automatic mode works and after song completes it gets stuck (plays the same note) until the auto button selected again or until batteries are pulled out, which means removing tape that we had to put on to hold batteries in. So looks really cute looking but really is junk.

I purchased this for my three year old son, as a Christmas gift. When I received the package in yesterday, the toy was scratched up, and appeared to be used? It feels cheap, it was not what I expected at all. The back where the batteries go in was missing the screw. I was pretty upset, but am still going to give it to my son Christmas morning. I am sure he won't even notice that it is all dinged up....I don't like the toy at all.

For my 5 year old son, it played without even touching it??? Seriously this was not what I expected for him.
