For any beginners this is perfect! The quality is amazing and it comes with a lot of extra tools to help you! I loved that it came with a tuner which made my life easier. It’s so worth the money!!! Highly recommend it for someone taking interest in violin or even someone who plays already! I’m so excited to keep on learning! Love it

I've always wanted to get a violin but back in my day classical instruments were crazy expensive. This was a great price for an instrument I've always wanted to play. It came with everything a person would need to get started and the case it came in was crazy nice very firm and two pockets one on the outside and one on the inside to store the included rosin, tuner, extra set of strings, shoulder support,and extra bridge. After watching a few YouTube videos on how to set it up and what notes to tune the strings and apply rosin to the bow. I was happily squeaking and getting some notes. It's sweet how there are dots layer out on the fretboard. I was playing a few super easy songs within half hour. I got a super long way to go on doing concerts but by the end of my playing the tones I was getting were great. I'm super happy with the violin and have to practice up to show off my new favorite instrument. If you want something to jam on I feel the value and quality are fantastic, would super recommend.

We purchased this violin for my daughter to begin lessons. The teacher acted as though it would not keep a tune and let my daughter borrow and extra violin that she claimed was better. However, her "better" one doesn't seem to hold a tune any better than this one. This one looks nice and quality isnt far from the borrowed one.

Bought this to learn on. I replaced the strings right away which improved sound quality. The bow will be next. Violin itself is well enough made and sound quality is fine. It's an inexpensive instrument so I didn't expect anything more.

I was pleasantly surprised by the tone of this violin. It sounds really nice, even with my 7-year-old playing it.

Edit: upgrading stars. The company sent me a replacement, and I'll update my review again if it lasts! I'll also see if it responds as well as the first and if it holds tuning by 2 weeks as well.
So, when I got it, it came precisely as reviews had mentioned. I followed every bit of advice and a few tutorials, and after two weeks, it was holding its tuning well! Yes, it was cheap, but it was serviceable, especially since I was an absolute beginner (I've been playing guitar for 23 years and own multiple, though, so I'm not unfamiliar with stringed instrument care and how it varies by instrument).
For two months, I found myself improving at a promising rate and very happy with my purchase. I kept it in the case it came with, safe and sound.

We bought this for our daughter who is beginning to learn violin. The price is reasonable with the quality of the violin. Everything she needs to start is in the hard case: violin and bow, shoulder rest, rosin, tuner (love this tuner), extra bridge and extra strings set.
You may need to tune and retune several times for the tune to set. However, with stringed instruments you need to tune almost every single time before playing.
*Tip for beginners:
-Make sure to push the tuning peg in when you tune. Use the fine-tune mechanism if needed.
-Apply rosin to your bow or else you won't make any sound. You may want to scratch the resin first before applying.

Great quality and value for a set like this. It'll fit the hands of a 7-9 year old quite well. I'm used to a full size violin but the sound from this one is great. Everything's solid and easy to setup. Especially since kids are growing, this is a great option for them since it'll be outgrown in a couple of years. The included accessories like the tuner, shoulder rest, strings and an extra bridge (which trust me, kids will break!) are great especially considering the price. Overall I couldn't recommend this enough to parents looking for a violin for their young kids. It's also very nice how the fretboard is marked for them, although with time a good ear is all you'll need.

I'm completely new to the violin but always wanted to learn so I decided to buy this violin set. This is definitely a starter violin. The quality is good for the price. I can't say it's too good but is not too bad either for this price. I need to look for videos or a person who can help us tune the violin otherwise it won't sound good. It comes with a felt-lined case, bow, and rosin. I’m thinking of taking lessons just so I can play it

You will need to assemble the violin (strings, bridge, tuning). With the help of youtube, it won't be that difficult. But everything is provided as stated. I stopped playing violin after high school, and just started picking it up again 10 yrs later. Its a great practice violin, and for the price you can't beat it!

My Child is a beginner and is very comfortable using this instruments. Definetly worth money for beginners.

I’m very much a beginner to every thing to do with music. It was definitely fun to set up this violin. I found all the information I needed watching YouTube video. This violin is gorgeous. I know it’s supposed to be beginners and kids but I got the larger size. The case is beautiful and had everything you need to carry along with you. I started by adding in the bridge the correct way. I attempted to tune the violin and ended up breaking a string. Luckily the kit comes with a few extra strings. I could not get the digital tuner to work. It powers on and I set it to violin attached it to the violin but the scale wouldn’t move. Not sure what I did wrong. I tightened the bow and added the rosin which was also included. And at last I was playing notes. I recommend this violin. It’s great quality, a beautiful piece with a nice case and everything you need to get started.

You are selling fake products without any support.
Your 30days money back is the biggest lie around the world.
Your support and respect for customers are awful.
One shopping from your online store was enough for me to understand the only reason that you have an online store is making tricks to stolen more money.
Your hateful business and products destroyed my wife's birthday.
Big shame for you, if you can understand what is shame.

This is a great violin for anyone who is interested in a well made starter.

For the price - this is just fine. Granted you're not going to play in an orchestra with it but it was more than enough to help me to decide that I did want to learn to play the violin. The case is quite good - the case alone is worth the price. The weakest piece is the bow and even that is adequate. I will use it to practice and I know this summer I will play outside so I will continue to use it. I did apply a little chalk to the pegs so they didn't slip but that took 2 seconds and it now stays in tune. This is a great violin to buy if you kind of want to learn to play but are not certain it is for you. It seems very durable and sounds pretty good. I will likely play it until it is time to pass it on to another curious player.

My son is a huge fan of AGT, and has been in awe of the violin players. He asked to use his own money to by a violin and this is what we purchased. It's a very nice instrument for a beginner, it comes with everything needed to get started, and the price point was great for a starter instrument. The case is awesome and really well made, the violin itself is beautiful, and the sizing is perfect. My son is thrilled with his first large purchase (he's 11...so not a big spender just yet). Now...I just need to find sound proofing for his bedroom!
