  • Perfect! Playing for over 21 years off and on
Size: Size 4/4 (Full Size)
I started violin in the 6th grade and played all through high school and then off and on since then (total of maybe 21 years) something like that. I love to play and the family violin I played on (Stradivarius copy) had to be loaned to my cousin to use so I had been without one for about 2 years. I was really missing playing and had a very low budget to purchase one but I did a TON of research. Just to give you a sense of the level of playing I am at I play music like Brandenburg Concerto No 3, Eine Kleine Nachtmusik, Cappricio Espangnole, my favorite being Bach Double Concerto for 2 Violins. The reason for the background on my experience is because I didn't see may reviews from people that had played for a while, mostly entry level and beginners and I wanted to have some credibility for my review. I would never consider myself professional but I am not a beginner. I have had this violin for about a month now and I couldn't be happier. It is certainly NOT my Stradivarius copy, however it is a really great value for the price. It does come with everything you need and I even like the beginning practice book for my warm ups. Has the Can Can, Simple Gifts and comes with the CDs to play along with. The instrument is beautiful, I will most likely replace the strings because they sound a little tinny mostly on the E string it stands out. Maybe some Dominants will fix that. I waited to do the review to make sure I didn't have any issues and I haven't. The one thing that made me click to purchase was the Fiddlermans review. I actually subscribed to his site before I even knew he did a review on a black Cecilio Violin and he was impressed for the money also. I wanted to get my violin "fix" so to speak for a good price and that's what this is. I hope this helps anyone considering. Of course if you have more money to spend, by all means get a higher quality. But bottom line is if you know how to play, you can make it sound decent. ... show more

  • Ok for beginners, but consider replacing ASAP
Size: Size 4/4 (Full Size)
I bought this violin a few years ago mostly out of curiosity just to see what I would get. I've been playing for only a short time, about 4 years, but my regular violin is a fine instrument. I think if you have a young student that wants to have a go at violin, it may be OK for them. But if even 6 months goes by and your young student shows enthusiasm for continuing, you should visit a luthier (not a music store) and consider renting a better quality instrument. If you're OK paying for lessons, you should be ok to rent a nicer instrument. The Violin It's a mass produced instrument. It sounds thin, nasal, and pinched. The wood grain is visible, but it has very heavy coats of stain and lacquer on it. It's super shiny and has an almost plastic sheen to it. It's also very smooth, you cannot feel the grain underneath it. Even after 2 years it retains a strong chemical smell of stain (or maybe it's lacquer) that is not very pleasant. The bridge is roughly fit and the feet are not making full contact as they should. It's not terrible, but it it's not great. It should be properly set up by a luthier to ensure proper string height and bridge contact with the top of the violin. I can say with almost certainty, none of these instruments will show up at your door with the bridge truly and properly fit. The pegs are fit fairly well. They don't slip and they turn easily enough. I'd suggest getting rid of the fine tuners on all but the E string. The strings are cheap. I replaced them with a used set of Dominants I had on hand. It made an improvement. Just a heads up...if you're new to violin, the strings stretch when new. That means your instrument will go out of a tune a LOT during the first week with new strings. Also, temperature and humidity affect the wood. Going out of tune happens. If you can imagine a machine punching out parts at a factory and then a bunch of assembly workers gluing it all together, that's what you have. It's mostly correct, but don't be surprised if you discover that finger board has problems, something's not glued correctly, etc. Most of them are probably passable, but I'm sure there's many that are not. Is it playable? Yes. And if you give to a accomplished violinist, they'll make it sound good. But is it good? No, it sounds cheap. Is it appropriate for a young learner? I think it's OK. A older learner? Sure. But as I said, if the student takes a liking to the instrument, you'll want to upgrade. Elementary school orchestra? Maybe even middle school? Absolutely, when it's dropped, hit, banged...who cares? It's less than $90. But at home? Let them have something better. The Bow It came with two. Yikes. They're bad. Really bad. If you look down the bow like you're sighting a rifle you'll see how warped they are. Both of the ones mine came with actually warp in multiple directions. It's actually quite remarkable. They're heavy and chunky. And I say that as an adult male, I cannot imagine how a child would fare with something this heavy. My regular bow is almost 20 grams lighter. That may not sound like much, but it's a lot. A whole lot. The cheapness of the violin is somewhat disguised, the cheapness of the bows is on full display. They're terribly balanced and crudely made. The metal winding is wrapped with a piece of clear plastic. Yuck. Conclusion It probably will need a proper setup by a luthier...fitting or adjusting the bridge, adjusting the sound post (the peg inside that stands up straight), etc. And most luthiers probably hate these instruments. You get what you pay for. You're paying ~$100. A better student violin probably starts at $500. A really good student violin, maybe a $1000. So when you pay $100, that's what you're getting. ... show more

  • Great inexpensive violin
Size: Size 4/4 (Full Size)
I'm taking up the violin again, after 40 years, and after researching online at music teachers' sites I chose this one. So far so good! A little QC problem at the beginning - two strings broke when I first touched the pegs to tune them - but Amazon made good with a credit to my account for the price of a new set of strings. It's a nice package - even the chromatic tuner comes in handy to make sure your fingering is right. I strongly recommend the Jameasy software (and optional dongle available on Amazon) and the Fretless Fingering decal (also on Amazon) as accessories. If you're like me - you played in school but then put it down - don't be shy: it's amazing how much comes back to you! ... show more
