    • Good beginner instrument to use at home. Not recommended for music lessons
Color: 1/4 Natural
I purchased this instrument for my 5-year old daughter during the pandemic when we signed her up for online violin lessons (spring'2021). It sounds good and worked out perfectly during our time doing violin lessons over Zoom. The Zoom teacher was thousands of miles away, and either didn't care about, or didn't notice any issues with the size/quality/sound. So basically it got us through our first 6 months of home-based violin lessons. Then in fall'2021 my daughter started kindergarten at a big school where they offer in-person violin lessons with highly experienced music teachers. And this violin didn't even last 1 day in that environment. My daughter was sent home on day 1 with a laundry list of complaints about this instrument, and the teacher even called it a "VSO" (i.e. violin-shaped object). She demanded that we go to a local music store and rent a quality handmade instrument, which costs $700-$800 brand new. She also said that this violin was too big for my daughter, who is an average sized 5.5 year old. She recommended starting with a 1/8 size instead of 1/4. It turns out that renting an instrument from the local music store wasn't too expensive in the overall scheme of things ($20/month on a 9 month contract). We gladly did that, and the rental instrument also came with unlimited size swaps and free adjustments, minor repairs etc. While the $800 violin we rented from the local store sounds marginally better than this one, I don't think it matters that much for an inexperienced beginner like my daughter. If her teacher didn't have such high expectations, I would've been happy to keep using this Amazon violin for another year or two until her skills have improved. But since we'll be at this school with this teacher for many years to come, I didn't want to say anything to question her judgement. So we switched to the higher end violin instead and keep this one as a backup. I still think this is a great purchase, but if you're buying it for your kid's music lessons, please consider whether the teacher would find it acceptable. The guy at the music store told me that this is a common story, and many teachers will simply refuse to teach with Amazon violins. Another thing to consider is that the instrument you rent from a local store comes fully set up, whereas this Amazon violin needs to be "assembled" (i.e. you have to position the bridge correctly, put in the strings, tune the strings, rosin the bow etc). Depending on your experience with violins, this can take up a significant amount of time. As a first time violin dad, I spent several hours learning how to string a brand new violin from YouTube videos, and also broke two strings in the process. It's nice to learn how to do that kind of stuff for your kid, but some parents may prefer to let a local shop employee take care of such things. ... show more

    • Better than even more expensive violins. Highly recommended!
Color: 4/4
There is a lot to like about this violin package. I highly recommend it to anyone, really. Not only great for beginners, but it's also just fine for anyone. I am a working musician (well, until all gigs got canceled...), and I can already see this becoming my "daily driver." It is too easy for a thief to steal your expensive violin; so it really gives peace of mind, to know that if the thief strikes, you are only out $90! Even so, this violin sounds good enough that you can use this for a gig, and you don't need to risk taking an expensive instrument out to a bar or club where it could be damaged or stolen. FINISH: I'll start with the finish. I love the finish on this violin. Eastar has adopted a thin matte finish (in contrast to the thick , shiney plasticky finish which is found on most violins of this price range. This finish will allow the wood of the instrument to breathe naturally, and the tone of the instrument should increase with time just like any fine instrument. BRIDGES: I received 2 bridges with my violin, and both of them were perfectly cut to match the violin. This is an important point, because it is expensive to get a violin maker to cut a bridge for your violin, but unless the bridge is perfectly fitted, then you will never get a true tone from the instrument. My bridges were fitted with a slight slant to the feet. this is a new style of bridge fitting which will keep the bridge from warping over time, and it also increases the surface area of the bridge where it touches the top of the violin. This can give a fuller tone. I was impressed to see this. TONE: As for the tone of the violin, itself. It has a soft tone which ***doesn't try to be a stradivarius***! In my opinion this is a feature. Too many cheap violins try to provide brilliant, loud projections as you would find with a fine, italian solo violin... but the end of the day, they are just loud. Instead, Eastar has done their own thing with this violin, and they are to be commended for that! This violin will blend well with other instruments, and it will also make it easy for the player to explore soft, subtle tones, but it will still play loud when you push it. It will be a great violin for playing in a chamber ensemble or for playing in a group masterclass with other students. Also I have to mention that harmonics ring true on this violin all the way up the fingerboard. Even the highest harmonics and false harmonics ring just as they should. This is unprecedented for a violin which only costs $90! STRINGS: The strings included on the violin are pretty darn good. Normally, strings on a cheap instrument are trash, but these are very serviceable. The tone is nice and even and the strings hold their pitch pretty well (i've only had the violin for 2 days, so i don't know how long the strings will last). The midrange sounds good, as do the highs. (the E string is great!) I would like a little bit more oomph from the lows, but the tone is very balanced overall. I am used to playing with strings which are a bit thicker; so that is probably the reason I feel this way. Strings are one of the most noticeable upgrades for a violin. I have no doubt that some Thomastik Dominants would sound excellent on this violin. Maybe even try some gut strings or a hybrid gut/synthetic blend, if you are looking for a more unique tone. ROSIN: I actually LOVE the rosin that came with this violin. I was totally amazed when I applied it, and i got a good tone. I've been using Anton Breton rosin, recently, and the rosin that came with this violin is BETTER, i think. In fact, i would say that it is very similar to Pirastro Goldflex rosin in the tone that it produces. It is a high dust variety of rosin, though. So you will want to have a clean, dry, oil and lint free cloth, and take care to wipe the strings and the body of the violin after playing. Also, you may want to take care not to over-rosin the bow, because it would be easy to do with this rosin. (although you could probably make a cool looking dust cloud, while playing, if that's yer thing! :D) Also, be careful not to expose the cake of rosin to high temperatures (over 80 degrees F) or direct sunlight. It has been my experience that light-colored rosin will quickly develop a scratchy tone if exposed to heat or light. You won't be able to tell a difference by looking at the rosin, but your ears can tell. If this happens to your rosin, replace it immediately, and you will be much happier. TUNING PEGS: The tuning pegs seem to fit quite well, and they seem to grip without sticking right away. just be sure to push in while tightening or loosening them. I had no trouble tuning the violin with the pegs. FINE TUNERS: I have mixed feelings about the fine tuners. On the one hand, I love the range and travel, and love how big and easy to grip the tuning knobs are. I feel like they give you just the right amount of pitch adjustment for each turn. What i DON'T like about the fine tuners is the large metal feet on the underside. It would be easy to accidently over-loosen a fine tuner and damage the top of the instrument. Please be very careful about this. Also, if something were to strike the instrument from above, or if the bridge were to snap or fall over, the fine tuners will damage the top of the instrument. I will probably replace the fine tuning mechanism with one that is curvier on the bottom, and made of softer material. SHOULDER REST: I hate shoulder rests. i don't use them, but this one looks pretty decent. I feel like it's better to place the violin directly on your shoulder; so that you can directly feel the vibration of the violin. CHIN REST: The chin rest is very nice and very comfortable. Just like shoulder rests, i actually prefer not to use a chin rest so that i can feel the vibrations directly while playing. But i will probably leave this one on until it falls off, and then i probably won't bother putting it back on. (but i'm weird) TUNER: The tuner that came with this is very simple, clip on tuner. I learned how to tune a violin by ear (and all violinists need this skill), but it can be nice to have a tuner, especially for initial tuning, or if the violin goes way out of tune, or if you are in a loud bar, etc... This is a Donner branded tuner. (Donner and Eastar are like sister companies). It works great for tuning the violin. I have another, different Donner tuner, and it doesn't work well for tuning a violin; so, i was glad this one worked just fine. When the string is on pitch, the entire screen lights up, so it is very easy to tell when you have the correct pitch... even if the lighting isn't good where you are. 2 things which could be improved about the tuner: 1. it uses non-rechargeable battery (like the ones that go in a key-FOB for your car). It would be better if it had a rechargeable battery and a micro USB charging cable (my other Donner tuner has this) 2. the pitch of 'A' is not adjustable from 440 Hz. (my other Donner tuner also has this feature). It is fun to experiment with alternate tunings, and you can't do that with this tuner. Also, some orchestral music may sometimes be written with alternate tunings specified. And of course, any good flat-earther or dirty hippie will tell you that mother Gaia cries in agony any time an musical instrument is tuned to anything other than A == 432 Hz. I'm just sayin. THE BOW: Eastar has adopted a very interesting design with the bow, which i have never seen before. The end of the bow (where you hold it) is octagonal which provides a nice grip, but the rest of the bow is round in shape. i've never seen this. Also, the frog of the bow is BEAUTIFUL. the bow is nice and balanced in weight, and it should be sufficient for most playing styles. I like to keep a Shar Fusion bow in my case, also (for when i want something a bit bouncier). EASTAR: As i mentioned before, Eastar and Donner seem to be the same (or at least sister) companies. In fact, that's how i found out about this violin. I was looking for a violin, and i was familiar with instruments and other equipment made by Donner, and I have constantly been amazed by the quality and pricepoint of Donner equipment. Eastar has been producing violins for a while, but they just recently began shipping them to the US. I asked them to notify me when they began shipping violins to the US, and they did. I was very curious to see how well they compared to both Donner equipment and other cheap violins. The violin can be a tricky instrument to ship overseas and have it arrive in playable condition. It seems that these violins are being produced in ShenZhen, China, and then Eastar has contracted or setup a facility in Kentucky, USA, to setup and ship the violins to the customer. So far they are doing a great job! COMPARED TO MODERN INEXPENSIVE CHINESE VIOLINS: I have a Mendini violin, which cost twice as much, and I have owned Cremona violins that were 2 to 3 times more expensive, and this one is easily better than all of those. COMPARED TO OTHER VIOLINS: Every other violin I have owned was at least 100 years old; so, it is very difficult to directly compare an old instrument and a new instrument. I feel like this violin is roughly comparable to the Sears-Roebuck "Jacobus Stainer" style violins which were produced in the late 1800s in factories in Austria/Germany. Those violins were inexpensive when produced, and today they will fetch a price anywhere from $300 to $2000 depending on the specific model, and how well it has been maintained, modified, or upgraded. This violin sounds different from those (as i mentioned, Eastar has adopted a unique style rather than just attempting to copy Stradivarius or Stainer), but it's basically the modern equivalent of those. This is a great way to spend $90! I will post pictures and videos soon! ... show more

    • Liked it well enough I bought another
Color: 3/4
I was anxious to buy this violin for my eldest to begin learning to play at school. It was cheaper than renting through the local music store and money is tight. When it arrived, I saw that I needed to attach the bridge and move the strings accordingly. I was terrified that I would break it. Thankfully, everything worked out, though the attachments to tune the strings do tend to loosen easily (I'm no musician and have zero experience with violins). Now, a year later, he's still playing and enjoys it. The sound is still decent, though not quite as "pure" as higher-end violins costing many hundreds. That being said, this works and my son has been pleased playing with it. I've not heard a negative comment from his previous teacher nor his current one (though she sent a blanket statement before school started to stay away from online violins to the whole class). This fit our needs enough that, when my youngest wanted to try violin, I ended up purchasing another for his size. All in all, not the highest quality violin, but for two beginners/emerging intermediates, this works very well. ... show more
