I purchased this so my children wouldn't ruin the one I (try to) play, and they love it. As far as we're concerned, the sound is acceptable and after stretching the strings out, has only gotten better. Now, I couldn't get the cover off the rosin as it had melted to the lid, but I had other available, so that wasn't a deal breaker in my book. The violin itself is light. I couldn't say we'll be playing this instrument in any concert venues, but we most certainly will use it for learning and have not been disappointed in it thus far. By far, the most economical instrument purchase we've made, ever.
The case is good, too. It protects and my three year old can get the violin in and out without any problem. Now, if someone would help his arms grow faster so he can actually play it! Actually, no, I purchased the smaller size too so he would have a better shot in a couple years!
For learning and general playing around the house, this has been a wonderful purchase and I'll certainly be making more purchases in the future.

My son just started violin lessons in school. I ordered a 1/2 violin for my son and a 4/4 violin for myself so I could practice with him. My violin shipped the very next day. It took a week extra to get my sons violin. After a couple emails and a Facebook message we were able to get it shipped and it is the cutest little violin for him. We are both loving this experience.
I played Viola when I was his age, so I told him whatever he learns in his strings class he has to come home and teach me :) Outside of the shipping delay I would recommend these violins! They're the perfect starter kit for beginners!

It's a great buy for beginner at this price, the size is very fit for my 10 years old kid who just starting play violin at school and the sound is nice, I should admit the sound is not as beautiful as those big brand violin from local store but that will cost over 600 or more! so for beginner who want to have a try before make big investment, this violin is really a good choice for them to start. so far my kid play this violin over 1 month and she like it.
one comments:
if you find the violin go out of tune quickly, my teacher said it's normal for a new violin, it could take a few weeks to settle down, and most cause for earlier out of tune is due to the peg slip which you can add some chalk to make it tight.

We bought this beginner violin for my 10 year old daughter. She’s small 10, so it fit her well. To someone who doesn’t know violins well, it looked beautiful and sounds great. Our music teacher, however, was not as impressed and immediately recommended a replacement. The teacher said it is an “okay” instrument, and doesn’t hold it’s tuning well. We decided to stick with this one until my daughter outgrows it, because we wanted to make sure she sticks with the violin before we invest a lot of money in an instrument. Overall, I’m very happy with the purchase and the price and would recommend it to anyone just starting out. However, if you are experienced you might not share the same opinion about it.

I have wanted a violin for so many years. I finally gave in and bought this one. I'm so happy and excited about my purchase. I feel like a kid with a new toy. I'm lucky enough to have a friend that is in a band. They dont have violins, but they do have guitars, so they were able to help me to get started with this. I have a lot of learning to do with this. It is so light weight, so holding it for a long time will not be an issue at all. The quality is just so amazingly well. This was easy to set up to start using it. The case is even beautiful and very protective of the violin. I have been saving videos on line teaching how to play this and for beginners like me. So now when I get stuck in the house, I will be learning to play the violin. Yippy, exciting!

Quality of this violin is excellent craftsmanship for a beginner. I’m 65 and my father who has passed was a wonderful musician who played multiple instruments. One was the violin. I remember falling asleep to his nightly playing. Music followed into my genes as well singing in opera and musicals. I bought this for my two grandsons hoping they might have an interest in learning an instrument. I have several things I play like my father it gives me alone time to enjoy. I am well versed in the quality of instruments and I found this violin to be well built with proper thickness and weight. Value was on par for a beginner violin. I also bought a guitar for them to learn both. I suggested they watch various YouTube videos on the different styles and sounds each can make. And the importance of learning the basics so they can develop into a style they prefer. Lesson for both will start in the spring as I hope this virus calms down. Definitely recommended for music is the international voice of the world.

My son would like to learn violin and I fully support him. I was searching for a good violin set at local musical stores, but didn't find anything we like. Then I was able to find this violin set from the Internet. The price is very reasonable. It had very fast delivery and the violin set was intact when I received it at home. The whole set has everything we needed for my son to learn. It has a nice hollow wooden body with attractive colour. The case is very convenient for my son to carry it. I learned violin when I was a child. When I tried and played it, I love the sound of this violin. I would recommend this violin to other parents if their children want to learn to play violin.

Wanting to cultivate children's musical literacy, the daughter chose the violin and guitar by herself. I bought this entry-level violin and let her learn.
After unpacking, I tried to pull it but there was no sound, only to realize that it took several steps to make the sound of the violin.
The violin is equipped with a shoulder rest and a fine-tuner. It also has rosin, and the violin case is also very meticulous. It looks very nice, the overall color is even and it looks very advanced.
High-cost performance, recommend to friends who are interested.

The product came very late, but it’s beauty as shows the picture, killed the anger in me in seconds.
It’s bright red blooms, more beautiful then any pictures is saw of violins.
As of it quality in my first use, it sounded pure and not creaking, even if I put low Rosen on the bow.
I hope it continues to satisfy me as it did today.
Dan
Nice violin for beginners.
Got it for my teenage daughter who needed if for high school, last year we rented one and it came up much more than buying!
The violin requires a little set up, putting in the bridge and such.
Overall this is a good deal

I was looking for a violin for my daughter and did not want to spend too much in case she does not enjoy it. The price for this model seemed quite reasonable so I thought we would give it a shot.
I was impressed at the quality for the price. The part that impressed me most was actually the case. It is a hard case with soft lining that will protect the instrument well. The price of a similar case alone at local music shops would cost as much as this entire package with violin. I appreciate that the kit came with everything we need to get started and we did not have to run off to the store to purchase anything.
Having never tuned a violin before, I had to turn to a YouTube video help (and a free tuning app on my phone), but it was not too bad and now my daughter is successfully off on her violin adventure.
Dan
Very nice violin. Great quality. Love the case. Nothing bad to say.

When the violin was at my door, I noticed that the packaging was nice and carefully packed and did no damage to the instrument at all. The case has a big pocket on the side, which to me is very useful so I can put my sheet music along with my violin. The zipper was surprisingly very smooth when opening, unlike my previous violin case that has a zipper that kept getting stuck. The violin’s color stands out a lot to me. I noticed that this violin’s color looks very natural and has a smooth and glossy surface, making it look very professional. The most important thing that made me love this violin is the pegs. When I was tuning this, the pegs moved smoothly and it wasn’t hard at all to tune, unlike the one I had before that makes my fingers hurt when I try to turn the pegs. The fine tuners also didn’t hurt my fingers while I was tuning. The bow looks very natural as well. There are TWO provided bows. I lent my friend the second extra bow because they needed one to borrow, and they told me that the bow is unique both in quality and appearance. I can tell that the hair of the bow is very sturdy. They even provided rosin and TWO bridges for the violin. They also provided extra strings for me to use, which I find very thoughtful because it can be a backup for my violin. There is also a tuner that is very easy to carry because of its size. Speaking of strings, when I played this, the sound was perfect. It didn’t sound scratchy at all and was very easy to play. The string is also super sturdy and isn’t easy to break. There is also a little box in the violin in the case to put rosin in there, so I don’t have to put it in another bag. One last thing: I just found out that you can carry it by hand, or you can carry it like a backpack! Very convenient! I am so thankful to have found this. I have to be honest, this is worth the price!

I bought this for my son who is on the autism spectrum. We saw a violin performance on TV and he was amazed. He really wanted to try lessons, but he has a tendency to get excited about a new activity and drop it shortly after. I didn't want to sink a lot of money into an instrument so I was excited to see this at such a good price. I was expecting something a little better than a toy, but I was blown away by the quality. It's a real instrument that looks beautiful and sounds amazing. I also love the case that it comes in. It really cushions the violin so it is safe from normal wear and tear. I like that it can be carried by a handle on the side or as a backpack. It contains everything you need to get started like strings and a matching bow. This is perfect for a beginner or even as a secondary instrument for a student to use at school.

We got this for our grandson. It comes with everything you need to be a beginner. My husband plays all kinds if instruments and was very impressed at the quality of this violin. It's very well made and our grandson is going to love it. The sound of it is wonderful and it is so well made. You can't beat the price for such a nice quality violin. My grandson will have this for years and one day can pass down. The beauty of this is just amazing. Very giftable to that beginner. It has the case to keep it protected and extra strings. It has all you need.

For a beginner, this has got to be the best deal ever!
You get a full size 4/4 violin with case and accessories (shoulder rest, rosin, extra bridge and extra strings)
The build and quality is very impressive for a beginner. It’s hard to justify a few hundred dollars for a beginner, but for this price, it’s a perfect “try out” to see if this journey continues.
The sound is very nice and robust.
The violin does require setup as it ships without the bridge in place. Highly recommend an experienced player/teacher help you as it is a bit involved if you don’t know what it supposed to sound like. Because you of course will need to tune it.
The case is awesome. It has backpack straps and the padding and secure strap inside are great quality.
The tuning pegs are well-fitted and need to be pushed in to set the tension/friction to keep in place as you turn.
And the main feature of this beginner violin is the marked neck fingerboard. It really helps as you learn the finger placement.
Overall, I am so happy with this purchase!
