4.0 out of 5 stars Good Quality with some work
I wanted to learn violin, but I wanted to get a reasonably priced one, I have the brown version, if I had known there was a purple I would've gotten it haha.
When I got it it needed tuning, so it wasn't able to be played right away, and the strings snapped when I had a friend try to tune it. So figuring it was a 50 dollar violin the least I could do it get it...

1.0 out of 5 stars EXTREMELY POOR QUALITY
I ordered this product because I am a single parent and needed a new full size violin for my daughter that would not break the bank. While the customer service from this company was excellent, the violin was extremely poor quality. It has a very tinny, hollow sound more like nails scratching a chalkboard. It is completely unacceptable for school concert use. It was,...

This review is from: ViolinSmart Solid Wood PURPLE color 4/4 Full Size Teachers Recommended Student Violin + Bow + Case + Rosin Complete Set
I ordered this product because I am a single parent and needed a new full size violin for my daughter that would not break the bank. While the customer service from this company was excellent, the violin was extremely poor quality. It has a very tinny, hollow sound more like nails scratching a chalkboard. It is completely unacceptable for school concert use. It was, in my opinion, a waste of $50.00. It will most likely sit and gather dust in my daughter's closet as I had to go out and spend $550 for a "real" violin.

When I got it it needed tuning, so it wasn't able to be played right away, and the strings snapped when I had a friend try to tune it. So figuring it was a 50 dollar violin the least I could do it get it looked at, I took it to a music store who replaced the strings and were amazed it was only 50 dollars. They said other than the strings it was a wonderful quality violin.

You get what you pay for, but with a little work (recommend replacing the strings) you ahve a very good violin.

This violin is not really worth what I paid for it. It is made of very cheap material. Didn't even give it to my daughter to play because I thought it would break. Kids instruments should be durable. This is not. I returned the product.

1.0 out of 5 stars Violin sent unfinished!, May 19, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: ViolinSmart Solid Wood PURPLE color 4/4 Full Size Teachers Recommended Student Violin + Bow + Case + Rosin Complete Set
My daughter fell in love with the color and the price was right so we purchased it. When it arrived, we realized the bridge was unfinished (no notches for strings, nothing! ) Took it to a musician shop to find out how much it would cost and what else may be wrong with it. There were a number of issues and the cost with new strings was over $100.00 to make it play worthy. A real disappointment, we are returning for refund immediately!

This review is from: ViolinSmart Solid Wood PURPLE color 4/4 Full Size Teachers Recommended Student Violin + Bow + Case + Rosin Complete Set
Got delivered extremely fast, brilliant timing, but a few of the strings on the bow were broken and its a little difficult to tune because the peg won't turn the strings, sometimes it just turns the peg. I was able to tune it but it took a while. Still, its absolutely gorgeous and great for the price.

This review is from: ViolinSmart Solid Wood PURPLE color 4/4 Full Size Teachers Recommended Student Violin + Bow + Case + Rosin Complete Set
I love the purple violin that i purchased for my daughter. And the seller shipped it to me and it was received overseas in around two weeks. But i was disappointed with the bow that came with the instrument. I had to go buy a usable bow in order for her to play the pretty purple violin. The cotton hair fiber that the bow was strung with would not even pull a sound. By 110lb American Bull dog named enjoyed finishing ripping it up.
