  • great violin
Size: 4/4 Full Size
I have ordered this violin sometime between january en february 2014. But i'm just now placing this review because i wanted to test it first. This violin is a lot better than the violin I had. When I opened the case, I was surprised. It has a rich sound, it's nicely finished so the violin itself looks nice and I can notice they have put some work into the details. Even my violin teacher was surprised at the quality (good quality, very reasonable price), because he had suggested another brand of violin and I have completely ignored him to get the G1.The bridge from my first violin was not properly set/made, therefore it was hard and frustrating to play. Since I had the G1 I enjoy playing the violin and it is properly set. The bridge is height is proper, the pegs and fine tuners are easy to turn. However I don't know what's wrong with the bow, but the screw is hard to turn. Before I got this violin I have contacted the seller, to ask for information and they even give me the opportunity to chose the color of case I wanted. And since I stay in the Caribbean and could not order directly from their website, I could not order an upgrade package. But the seller manage the find a solution for that and I was very pleased with their customer service. The customer service is top notch, and they respond very quickly. When I got the 'violin' there was a mistake with the order and I have got the package and case without the violin, bow and rosin. I immediately contacted the sellers, they have apologized and after a few days they have sent me the G1, rosin and bow. Si even tho I had to spend a little more, because of the mistake, this violin is worth it. Eventually I have received the G1, the included bow and Kaplan dark rosin, d'addario prelude string and an extra set of strings.To me they all seem to be from e good quality and does the job. I also ordered the upgrade package, which included a music folder, metronome/tuner, cloth and music stand. I did not like the music folder because it's like a carton and has Kennedy Violin all over it. I don't think the music folder they offer can hold all my sheet music. The metronome/tuner however is very handy, looks nice and works as expected. The cloth has their brand name on it. And the music stand (with the carrying bag) is a folding music stand and is easy to set up and transport. But the music stand is not so sturdy, when it's set at it's maximum height. I wish it was bit taller (I'm about 5"0). Overall he music stand does it's job for me, it holds my thin violin book and my s3 (at the same time). I don't think you could put a map full of sheet music on it tho. Furthermore I love the case, it's from a good quality and is well made. There's enough space to put shoulder rest, and all the other accessorizes. On top of the case there's place to put violin books/ sheet music etc. (Note: the case you get with the violin G2, is cheaply made, lower quality, and has Kennedy Violin sewed on it, which I think is very ugly) Recently my violin G1 has a 'hissing' like sound when I play it, I think it's because of too much rosin on the bow, let's hope that's the case and that the hissing sound will fade away. After some inconvenience (because of the mistake) I'm pleased with this purchase, the money is worth it and their customer service is amazing. I recommend this violin, and this seller. Oh did I mention that you get the violin with some candies in the package, who does that? Yupp Kennedy Violins! tasted good, reminded me of my childhood. And if you doubt that they professionally set-up the violins, you also get a check list and the date on it as a prove that the violin is professionally set up. Hadn't they made a mistake with my order, I would have rate it 5 stars. ... show more

  • 1st time violin player...
Size: 4/4 Full Size
I am very pleased with the quality of the violin as well as the service provided by Kennedy Violins. I am currently 2 months into playing my violin and it still sounds just as beautiful as when I first got it. I was unfortunate enough to receive a defective bow (hairs came loose after a week of two or practice), however, after a calling about it, Kennedy violins happily replaced it, and I haven't had trouble since. I would recommend that you buy a separate book to learn violin if you really want to get into violin playing, as the included book only contains violin fundamentals, but it will still boost your ability to begin playing. For people who have never owned an instrument prior, here are a few tips: •Make sure you know what size you are before buying a violin (yes there are different sizes) •Keep in mind that wood instruments especially needs proper care in order to maintain its performance (look up online for more info) •Do not be afraid to use your rosin! And please do not scratch the rosin with your bow or fingernail to apply it. "Good rosin does not require much force to apply". For the first time the bow may not contain rosin, if so apply with about 10-20 bow strokes across the rosin to, and after that about 6-10 bow strokes 1-2 a week depending on the amount practice you do. Don't quote me on exact numbers : P Have fun!!! ... show more

  • A very good beginner to intermediate violin package
Size: 4/4 Full Size
I bought this violin to learn on. I've been playing drums, guitar and some keys for over 30 years, so I'm an experienced musician. I'm learning violin for my wife, who is a cellist and music teacher. She wants me to play Christmas music with her. From my background I understand what makes a good instrument and how it should be setup. So on to this package. I buy professional instruments so I knew I wouldn't be satisfied with a $100 outfit. I picked this one because it looked like the instrument was of good quality and it promised to be setup. The instrument I received is both. The fit and finish is good. It isn't the quality of a $1000 violin in terms of details like the top carve, etc. But it is definitely a good value in its price range and is well made. The bow is straight and bridge was well cut. It's worth the extra money for the better setup, strings and rosin. Once I get functional on violin, this probably won't be the last violin I buy, but it will be more th a n good enough to learn on and keep as a backup. I think any beginning to intermediate violinist would be very happy with this instrument. One note: some reviews and YouTube videos talk about this model having some figure on the maple back. Mine didn't so I checked with Kennedy. This is now normal with this model, so don't be con cerney if the violin you receive doesn't either. ... show more

  • In about my third week I decided I wanted to continue so I went to a local violin shop and tried a $500 violin with far superior strings than the one I was renting
Size: 4/4 Full Size
Some background first, I am a 6 year piano player and a 1 year guitar player. I am 16 and I decided one day I wanted to play the violin. I went to Music & Arts and they rented me an $1,000 violin for a month for $10, I bought the suzuki beginner book to go along with it, I started playing full scale songs in about my second week and finished the book in my first week, and after a little less than a month am able to play full scale difficult songs (although may not sounding perfect). In about my third week I decided I wanted to continue so I went to a local violin shop and tried a $500 violin with far superior strings than the one I was renting. I ended up ordering this one, because Music & Arts was trying to swindle and $500+ the bow was a little to pricey. I couldn't be more pleased, the tuning is great on it, strings and bow are high quality (for price) and everything in the set is overall pleasing. (P.S, pick up a snark tuner, the included one is so-so.) The customer service is also fantastic and would recommend to anyone beginner-intermediate, you won't be disappointed. ... show more

  • Don't hesitate
Size: 4/4 Full Size
Is there any one else out there selling on the level of Kennedy violins ??? All I can say is thanks for being there. Great product and great service. The violin is beautiful and sounds very nice. My granddaughter will love this for years to come as I believe it will last for many years. Update my grand daughter just finished violin camp at E.M.U. She was sent there by her pubic school which was the main reason I purchased this violin. She got lots of compliments on the instrument and the teachers were shocked when I told them it came from amazon. They all said this was far more instrument than price should have allowed. And complimented the warm rich tone it has as well they got the info on it to reccomed this violin to other students. My grand daughter is still in jr high school so I'm sure by the time she gets to that college level of play she will probably want a more professional instrument (but maybe not ) then I will bite the bullet and get her one but for now she couldn't be happier. ... show more

  • Fantastic Instrument and Bundle
Size: 4/4 Full Size
This instrument bundle is everything I hoped it to be - the violin is spectacular, the case is perfect, and together with the accessories and little book of sheet music, it was easy for me to immediately get started playing. I had to spend a little time fidgeting with the shoulder rest and just barely tune the violin with the included tuner, but then I was able to figure out sheet music and play Twinkle Twinkle Little Star in just a few minutes. If you are thinking about playing violin and have little or no experience, this set up is exactly what you need. ... show more

Size: 4/4 Full Size
I almost didn't purchase this due to the color of the violin in the picture. Thankfully, it is not the brown that was shown. It is a beautiful rich, slightly red brown. Nice case and chin rest. The little tuner is easy to use. Ordered an upgrade bow and liked the sound better. Will try the new strings when needed. All in all, it's a nice instrument. Very happy with the purchase. It is nice looking and it seems to be well made. Ebony parts. Real wood with horsehair bow. Sound greatly depends on the skill level of the one playing it! :) ... show more

  • An amazing value
Size: 4/4 Full Size
I love my new G1! Everything about the outfit is top-notch--a great case, a nice shoulder rest. Such awesome attention to detail--the rosin is even double-wrapped. And the violin itself is head and shoulders above my Stentor II. Solid wood makes such a difference; this violin makes me sound so much better and is a pleasure to play. I wish I had learned about Kennedy Violins when I first started to play, it would have saved me 2 years of frustration. I didn't love the Brazilwood bow, but that's just a personal preference. Kennedy Violins kindly allowed me to upgrade to a carbon fiber bow for just a little bit extra. I had read good things about their excellent customer service, and it's all true. Pretty sure I will be a Kennedy Violins customer for life. ... show more

Size: 4/4 Full Size
So far this violin is 100% better than the one I purchases for $100 more at a national music store that sells instruments. I first purchased a violin there feeling the service would be better from someone local and national, but when I got the violin home I tried to play it and it sounded terrible and the quality of workmanship was all off! I read the reviews of this violin on Amazon and opted to take the other back and purchase this one. Wow, what a difference for $100 less than the other one! When I received the kit in the mail it was missing a few of the bundle items but they were immediate in getting them to me and very apologetic. The online tutorials have been very helpful and I'm already playing. I sound terrible, but I'm playing and improving! ... show more

  • Beautiful sound

I'm a beginner trying to learn violin and so I don't know how to evaluate violins yet or how this one compares against others in the same price range, but I can say the sound from this one is absolutely beautiful and I'm glad that I bought this! It sounds melodious both on the high and the low notes and no single string sounds particularly louder than the others. The strings are sufficiently low on the fingerboard so that you don't have to press hard on them. It comes which a bunch of handy accessories (shoulder rest, rosin, and some kind of an electroinc tuner I believe)and a nice case. The violin itself is light as a feather! My violin teacher commented that it is a good violin for the price range. ... show more

We ordered this for our student, not knowing anything about violins, for the start of the school year. When we told the teacher we had ordered online, he was skeptical, however, when he saw it he admitted it was a nicer instrument and kit than would have been available rom his recommended retailers for the same money. Out of the box it was ready to play, tuned and everything. The instrument has a lovely rich sound. The case is very professional looking and has many compartments for all the accessories.
