Very good and the price was not too bad. February 17, 2010
Amarilys Pinales-dugan
When I read one of the reviews, I did not want to buy the violin. I just wanted to rent it, but renting it would cost me the same as buying it.
I do not regret buying this violin. It is great.
 We love it! February 11, 2010

After careful research, we purchased this violin for our daughter. Although some feedback left us the impression that the bow might be sub-par and the rosin might fall apart, everything in this package exceeded our expectations.
We purchased ours from Austin Bazaar and the item arrived with everything promised in the condition promised. The bows in the package are very nice. The rosin was boxed and when opened, it was encased in plastic on three sides which allows the user to draw the bow across the open side. I don't even think my daughter got any rosin on her. My husband only had to score it a little bit to get it started and it worked wonderfully.
Although we had warned our daughter to look up instructions for attaching the bridge, the violin came with the bridge attached. It is a lovely violin and the finish is very nice. It makes a beautiful sound once the bow is properly covered in rosin.
The case is also very nice. The exterior is soft but the interior is a lined hard case that cradles the violin. There are places for all the accessories and the strap makes it easy to carry.
Many reviewers said a violin will lose tune until it is broken in. Our violin did lose it's tune very quickly but, as many reviewers recommended, I ordered peg drops along with the violin and they solve the problem beautifully.
This violin is a fabulous compromise if you are new to playing or want something for practice that isn't terribly expensive. We searched music stores all over our area and found nothing remotely comparable or as reasonably priced. I wouldn't hesitate to buy a Cecilio again.
Unexpectedly nice instrument for the price February 5, 2010
J. Cutler (CLYMER, PA, US)
I purchased this item because, after playing guitar for a few years, I wanted to make a departure to a new instrument, while still sticking to something with strings. Well, I received it about 6 weeks ago and have been taking lessons for 5, and I gotta say, this violin really does it's job. It was nice to order it, and BAM, ya got everything you need (sans tuner) to start playing. The two bows are nice and have a good feel, but you probably realize they're not the best, but they certainly work. The rosin I received came in a nice little box that keeps it safe and intact. The outfit also comes with a second bridge and strings, which, at this point, I can't really comment on because I've had no use. The pegs of the violin slipped at first, but with a little playing and practice, came to hold tune really well, which surprised me. The fine tuners are really nice as well, being very smooth and make getting it in tune that much easier. The case that keep it all together is very nice as well. it's very sturdy and has nice storage space and a good, smooth zipper.
Moving away from the features, the violin was also basically setup, a fact my teacher was quick to point out, and was very impressed with. The only thing that really needed done was tuning.
All in all, I think this was an awesome purchase, and should be a great starter instrument for anyone wanting to learn. The only thing that was not quite as the product description described was the color. the violin's body is much lighter, and the chin rest and pegs are a bit darker, bit this is really a good thing, as it makes the violin that much more attractive. If someone is still undecided about whether or not to purchase this, I'd say go for it, it's well worth the $100 that's asked for it.
For the price I paid, I'm happy with it. January 29, 2010

I need a violin for my lessons(I got a rental violin for months, have been trying to find a good and affordable violin under $600, but couldn't find the one I really like yet. I ordered CVN-200 to save $$$ on a rental violin.)
My CVN-200 has some cosmetic defects. The paint job and workmanship on the fingerboard are bad, both bows are good though. I know some people here gave nice reviews for their CVN-200. Anyway, my CVN-200 looks very cheaply made. Since I only paid less than $100 for it, defects are quite common and expected. I also understand that it's the risk of shopping online.
I set it up and tried to play, "Wow, not too bad! " I talked to myself. To my surprise, the tone was nice and kept in tune well. So I didn't return it and took it to my ensemble class.( Among all of the violins, anyone can tell that mine is the cheapest. :p ) It's been doing ok, my instructor didn't complain about it, either.
I have owned this violin for almost 2 months. If you ask me to pay the list price on Amazon(almost $300) for it, No way. But for the price I paid for it, I'm happy with it. It keeps in tune, good tone, playable, can be used for practice purpose.
 Sent wrong item a week before Christmas! December 18, 2009

I ordered a 4/4 full-sized cello from this company as a Christmas present. It came on time all right-- but they sent me a toy-sized cello! "4/4" means adult sized. The one I got in the mail must have been about a 1/4, or even a 1/8. It weighed five pounds! This would have been funny if it hadn't wasted precious time needed to return it and get the right gift with only a week to go! And of course they won't pay shipping and handling and are keeping 20% of the purchase price, so I'm out considerable money because of their mistake. What were they thinking??
