Product Description
This violin is ideal for the budget minded beginning musician. It features pinewood back and sides, pear wood fingerboard and four fine tuners. It also includes a genuine horse hair wood bow, rosin and a featherweight carrying case with strap and carrying handle. Accessory colors/style may vary. Here are some hints to help keep your violin in tune: 1. Although the violins come with a bridge, it is not installed. Installing a bridge should is not difficult, but if you have a problem, please email us. The bridge has to be installed for the violin to play correctly. 2. Strings do tend to slip and lose their tune on a new violin because they need to stretch. If this happens, just give it time. The strings just need time to settle in. 3. If the violin pegs keep slipping, try to push the peg in while turning it. If they still dont stay in, peg drops are available at most music stores. They are relatively inexpensive and should help the pegs stay in. 4. If a strand of hair breaks on the bow, take a pair of nail clippers and cut it from the frog (bottom of the bow) or the top of the bow. A few hairs are bound to fall out with play. Remember to rub a little rosin (included) on the bow before playing. This is a great violin to get started with. And at this price it is an unbeatable value.

Poor quality, terrible pegs, cheap bridge, and don't get me started on the rosin.
Really, this is the kind of "musical instrument" you'd find at Toys R Us
 Check with an instructor before you buy. February 28, 2010

This is my 1st violin, but when I went to my 1st lesson, I was informed that the bridge and strings needed to be replaced.
For a few dollars more get a better one.
The rosin I got was broken.
I do like the case however you can't keep sheet music in the pocket without folding it.
I don't like the velco on the neck as it snags the strings.
Overall it's ok for a 1st violin.
 great purchase February 26, 2010

I bought this violin just to try out a violin. It was a great price for just trying something out, it came in good time and is in great condition (new). It is a real instrument, professionally made and it comes with a beautiful hard case. Can't ask for more!
 Fair quality for the price, but that price is rather low. February 24, 2010

When I first got this (my first violin), I was quite impressed with it. It came in a nice case, had a strap to retain the neck in the case, and was rather shiny.
Later however I managed to snag an inexpensive retired rental off of ebay and had a nice comparison. Compared to a more expensive yet heavily beat up rental, this violin has pegs which slip a lot. You'll need peg drops or a lot of patience to continue to reset them. The rosin does work, but it's fairly horrible. Bridge is uncut and feels much more fragile than the rental. Strings sound... oddly hollow compared to the Thomastik Dominant strings I have on the former rental.
Overall I would recommend this to an adult with some degree of patience. If you're buying this for a child, you had better be ready to add new strings, better rosin, peg drops, and perhaps be prepared for its viable lifetime to be rather short. I haven't owned it long enough to know for sure, but from the guides I've read on ebay it seems that violins that are sealed and not varnished tend to crack and die faster than those that are varnished.
If you go in knowing what you're getting, it's a decent product. It will also make a beautiful decoration should you decide to hang it on a wall.
As a final odd note, the case is very nice and lightweight, and looks better than the ugly hard cases that I've seen.
Not for beginners, not for ANYONE February 24, 2010

Beginners in any musical instrument need something of good enough quality that they'll stick with. This will just make them frustrated, the only thing is guaranteed to do is not stay in tune.
