This violin is perfect for a beginner. The kit included more than I expected for the low price. It is not fancy, but it is of good quality. It holds a tune for a long time. Tuning was tricky, you have to press hard, but I imagine thats how tuning more costly violins can be. Sound quality is decent, average to above average. Setting up the bridge was the hardest part of setting it up, but youtube came to the rescue. I would definitely recommend to kids or adults!

My son loved this for his Christmas gift. He has always wanted to learn how to play the violin. I was pleased at the quality and it is light weight. It took him a little bit to figure out how to get sound out of it since he is a beginner but he is loving it.

This is a pretty nice violin. Very good for beginners. The wood is beautiful. I only wish that they would include instructions for tuning the instrument. But I just watched a YouTube video and everything turned out well. Good value for money.

This is a great violin for a beginner. I had to watch some videos on YouTube on how to set it up and tune it even with the electronic tuner. If you’ve never done it before it takes some practice and can be stressful. But if you know that and feel comfortable doing it the case is great and comes with everything you need to start a new hobby . Looks great too!

Got this violin expecting a beginners instrument but the quality is better then other beginners violins. This is a great value for the money! The case is amazing I feel like I could drop it down stairs and the violin would be just fine!

This is a complete violin kit plus an extra set of strings and an extra bow, which is a great value for the money. It's as easy as placing the bridge, tuning the strings, getting some rosin on that bow and you're in business!

This is my 3 violin, I mainly bought it because of the price , did not expect much, but it did exceed my expectations. Smooth and nice sound, also comes with extra strings In case you are not too gentle with it and you break the strings. violins are like women handle gently

This is second one I purchased. I bought 1/4 to my son then I decided to buy one for myself . Both of them are very good, worth the money

Kids need to take up an instrument and one of them chose violin. We don't want to spend much in case it is a passing interest. We don't know much about instruments but her teacher says it's a good violin to begin with. Comes with everything you need. From my untrained eye, the quality is good. Put together well... finish is good. No blemishes on the wood and fits together well. Easy to tune.

Beautiful beginner violin for a great price! Love the sound. Glad it also has an extra set of strings as I have broken the G string while adjusting the peg. Highly recommend this for beginners.

My husband got me this violin for my birthday. He had to set up all the parts & tune it, but it is a wonderful value for the money. I highly recommend this to any adult interested in playing the violin.

I got this 2 weeks ago and it is a really good buy, however I do recommend upgrading the strings they do seem cheap and broke easily..the violin and bows are good quality very sturdy case. Watched a review on you tube which is why I purchased it…I’m happy with it

After playing a while i took it to my fiddle teacher an had them set it up for me. All he had to do was move the bridge as I placed it in the wrong place. After he tuned it up he played it for a while and asked what I paid. He couldn't believe how little I paid.
Overall a great instrument for an awesome price.

Having been without a violin for many years, I decided to purchase this set. It's a complete kit-- it comes with the violin and a custom cloth-covered hard case, two bows, rosin, a digital tuner, a padded wood shoulder rest, and two sets of strings, (one of which was already installed on the violin).
I was definitely impressed with the violin itself. There's an ample amount of lacquer over the wood with no drips or missing sections and the f-holes were cut and sanded correctly - an issue that I've had with previous purchases from other companies. It has a warm, rich sound and I have no complaints about its sonic qualities or craftsmanship.
The bridge was neatly tucked behind the tailpiece and wrapped in paper, likely to prevent damage to the finish during shipping. It's an easy installation but if you're looking for perfect tuning, you'll want to take it into a shop anyway. The shoulder rest installs easily and I appreciate the support from the wood base, having used a sponge rest previously. The ends are covered in rubber to prevent scratching the finish and the part of the rest that touches your shoulder is padded. It won't fit in the case with the rest installed so I leave it in the outer pocket along with the extra strings. It has two thumbscrews that allow for quick installation and removal.
There's a small compartment above the violin that easily stores rosin and the tuner with some room to spare. It has an internal spring so it will easily remain shut during transit and closes automatically. The violin itself fits within a molded section in the shape of the body and the interior lining is all faux velvet. There's room for both bows in the lid of the case and they fit securely with a plastic anchor that turns out of the way when you want to retrieve one-- they're manufactured in a manner that allows the mechanism to lock in place when the bow is stored. For removal, they lift easily then turn, allowing the bow to be retrieved. I particularly like this design because they won't come loose as the case moves. I also appreciate the second bow as a bonus! No issues with the bows themselves; they were ergonomically constructed as one would expect, held tension adequately and played just fine.
The tuner supports several instruments and includes a violin-specific mode. There's a single button on it to change modes that can be held to turn it on and off, as well as a backlight in the display. It recognizes the proper notes for standard tuning with a number to indicate the string, which is a handy feature. There's also rubber on the clamp rather than being hard plastic, preventing finish scratches.
This is a complete violin kit plus an extra set of strings and an extra bow, which is a great value for the money. It's as easy as placing the bridge, tuning the strings, getting some rosin on that bow and you're in business!

The first time I ever held a violin and I fell in love with it. It came shipped yesterday from UPS, the shipping box was loosly taped and looked a mess but inside was my gem in perfect condition. I was so happy to open the case to see my beautifully polished violin in perfect condition. The case, amazing, the accessories, amazing, the violin, wow!
Beautiful wood, I fell in love looking at the grains of wood. I set up the bridge and slowly tightened the strings. I downloaded an app onto my phone to help tune my new violin since i learned watching videos that the apps are so easy to use. I rosened up my bow and let the screetch begin. Oh how fun! Time to learn Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, so after a couple hours playing, practing, resting, then playing again I got really good at it. I learned to play a song on the violin. So happy.

What scared me the most about purchasing were the reviews stating that it is a problem to tune but decided to give it a try anyway. I am so glad I did because for the price the violin looks lovely and after tuning it following the instructions given by other reviwers, the violin sounds great. You do have to put the bridge in and tighten the strings yourself but I liked this as I was able to familiarize myself with the instrument while looking at "how to videos". Everything came in perfect condition and I loved every accessory that came with it. I'm very happy with this purchase and can't wait to keep learning more about my beautiful violin.
