I played cello and trombone in school, and guitar for many years after that, but I was too impatient to learn to read music, learn proper finger positioning to play without looking, or learn proper technique, so I reached a point where it was impossible to advance any further or play with speed and clarity, so I put down the guitar for about fifteen years. Now with the world the way it is, I figured I would learn the violin; from the beginning, note for note like a school child again. This Bunnell Pupil violin kit from Kennedy Violins is absolutely everything I could have wanted, at an amazing price. I have a music store just right down the street, and even their used violins, which don't seem to be particularly excellent quality, are more expensive than this entire outfit. I immediately registered on the Kennedy website and also got a full bridge rubber mute for practicing in my apartment, some string cloths, and a book. I called Kennedy to get help registering the violin after it arrived and Rachel was very helpful! I got a black case with grey lining, and a matching cloth to cover the violin. I took only one picture but all the other pictures by other reviewers triodastra and Just me are good representatives of what everything looks like. I would have been happy with any of the three random colors. The hygrometer in the case does seem to work. There is a zipper pocket on the top of the case where I keep a lesson book and some cloths. Inside is as described; it's a sturdy, padded case with cutouts for the violin, shoulder rest, and a lidded compartment for rosin, strings, and whatever, which are actually all in there, in addition to two straps that can be used to carry the case backpack style or the long way. Pay attention; there is a padding piece at the end of the cutout that corresponds to the tail of the violin; I brushed my fingers under it and found a small key under there for the main compartment's zipper lock, which is just over the button that unsnaps the flap! That way you can lock it and it can't be unsnapped and opened, at least not quickly. The top lid of the case, which houses the hygrometer, has slots to hold two bows, with a pivoting plastic piece that holds them in. The kit comes with one bow, already rosined and ready to go. There's an extra set of strings in addition to the D'Addario strings already installed and tuned. All guitarists know D'Addario makes good quality player-priced strings. Haven't tried the other Portland brand yet. The violin itself looks very nice, and is of obvious good quality. There don't appear to be any defects. The back is a solid piece, the varnish is nice, and everything seems to be well built. As I said I don't have a lot of experience other than with a cello back in the day, but I cannot find any fault with the construction. The pegs fit well and do not slip, the bridge is sturdy, the fine tuners work well and are easier to turn than I expected, thebow is light and sturdy and the hairs stay put so far (about two weeks). The sound seems quite nice, especially after I got the Trala app and played with the tuner and learned to hold the bow properly again and use the right pressure. Tuning the thing actually seems to be the best way for me to learn the right pressure and bowing technique, as the note will not sound pure unless you bow correctly. When I bow correctly, the sound, even with the mute on (I haven't actually played with it off yet!) sounds just as good as the instructors on the Trala app, and I assume they are using much more expensive violins! Bottom line: if you want a violin, get this outfit. Period. I remember my mom having to scrimp to rent the instruments I played in school, and they are much more expensive than this nowadays. This price for such a nice instrument and all the various extras, is to me, now that I understand things better, an absolutely amazing value. Even if at my age I manage to become good enough to want to invest in a more pricey instrument, I would still use this to practice on I'm sure. I'm blown away. Don't look anywhere else; I looked all over Amazon and this Bunnel Pupil violin from Kennedy Violins is what you want, I guarantee. And Kennedy has already proven themselves to me to be a great company. This is your new violin!

I was a little nervous about ordering an instrument online, after my brother had outgrown his old violin. This exceeded all expectations! Because I’ve played violin since fourth grade years, I know a good instrument when I see one. Never have I seen such quality in anyone’s instrument or case. Especially at this price, it was a good deal! First off, the violin case is durable. My brother brings his violin to school 2 to 3 times a week since I bought it for him months ago. It’s perfectly intact. The cases I’ve had from competitors were cheaply glued foam and the zipper’s seam would come off or snag on the fabric inside. This violin brand came with a magnetic clasp that snaps crisply. My brother has zero problems with his case’s durability and ability to open and close. Inside his case, the violin is cushioned nicely. There’s plenty of storage, which is every violinist’s dream. (Storage is great for holding backup strings or rosin.) What makes this particular product feel like luxury is the golden hydrometer inlaid inside the case. (I’ve never seen anyone else have one.) Violins are sensitive, so you can’t leave them in environments that are too dry or wet, like a hot car or freezing garage. By having this hydrometer guide my brother on when the surroundings are too harsh, he can take better care of his violin. My brother has absolutely loved this violin ever since he got it!! He’s been regularly practicing and performing with it, and we’ve had no trouble with this violin ever. Thank you for supplying his musical ability and dreams!

I am brand new at violin as a 48 year old. I play very expensive guitars and bass guitars but felt like I wanted to learn a new instrument. After reading all of the reviews, I purchased the 4/4 pupil violin. I was hoping it would be a nice instrument...I feel like I received much better quality than what I had hoped for. I was able to pick up this instrument, which I have never even handled before, and play a scale that actually sounded pretty decent. Day two, I spent time learning how to tune the violin, hold it properly and hold the bow properly, all from videos on the Kennedy Violin website. They have great content which is making me feel like I may actually be able to pull this off and learn the violin!

This is my first violin- I bought it to take lessons with my daughter, who was renting from a music store. I think hers was in the $800 range to buy, and it sounded fine, but this violin sounds better! I'm still a novice so I don't know if it's the strings or the instrument itself, but it has such a rich warm sound. My instructor was even impressed that it was "resonant," meaning hitting the right note on one string would make the next string reverberate. (Pretty cool.) I'm still in love with this after playing for about 9 months, but there are a few things I've been looking to change or upgrade- hence 4 stars instead of 5. First, the case is nice and spacious, but it is "face" heavy so it tips over if you have books in the pouch. The hygrometer DOES NOT WORK. Nice idea, but oh well. The shoulder rest might work if you have a short neck, but I found it didn't adjust high enough for me (long neck) so I replaced it with a Kun, which I recommend. The bow... mine is bowed, ironically. It twists a bit to the side, but it's usable. I just realized at my last lesson that it's actually quite heavy when compared to my instructor's bow, and it's not well balanced. The last thing to nitpick is the bridge. It feels like the arch isn't quite at enough of an angle to separate the G and D strings while playing, but that could just be my inexperience. None of these things are deal breakers at all for this violin. I am still quite happy with this purchase and I don't imagine I will need to upgrade it for a very long time. It's also quite a beautiful instrument to look at. I find myself just admiring it sometimes instead of playing it!
