    • It was worth the money when purchased
Size: 4/4 Style: CVN-600
I ordered this over two years ago as an adult beginner. It was priced higher than the current offering and, according to reviews in other places, was the only Cecillo offering at the time that was not a violin shaped object. I had to setup the bridge when it arrived and I found lots of videos that got me up and running. It sounded okay but not great for a beginner. More of that was my ability than the instrument. I learned to play a few songs and never appreciated the sound under my ear especially on the G string. Removing the fine tuners on all but the E string improved the sound greatly. I did snap the D string while tuning immediately after removing the tuners and bought a replacement locally with the same strings. At the shop I was told they thought the sound post was misplaced but I would need to leave it and come back later to retrieve the instrument. I opted not to do this and I haven’t felt the need to get this checked further. The bows are not great but they work as they should for a student. After extensive use one of the bows started to break a lot of hair. I switched to the second bow and ordered a carbon fiber from Fiddlerman. Once that bow arrived I have not used the second bow that came with the violin. The instrument looks great and feels great in the hands. Where the shoulder rest attaches has removed some of the varnish on one side. Probably my fault as I was initially moving it around a lot until I found the most comfortable spot. The included shoulder rest sucks and I replaced it with a Kun. Some people complain about the rosin but I haven’t had any issues. People that recommended this violin in 2018-2020 no longer recommend it because it seems the quality has gone down. The current price is almost half what it cost two years ago. Considering real inflation and the current price of $200, this is almost 75% less money than two years ago. I have not touched any of their current offerings to be able to make a comparison but I would not buy it knowing the price has gone down so much. I would be afraid that quality matches the reduced price. I cannot say that has happened. I do not regret this purchase but, if I had to do it over again, I would spend about $500 on a Fiddlerman Concert deluxe rather than this. I do enjoy it and continue to play it every day. I do not plan to replace it for quite awhile. ... show more

    • Great instrument!
Size: 4/4 Style: CVN-500
I really like this violin and it comes with everything you need to get playing! The Violin- I am a beginner, and admittedly do not know much about violins, but it sounds great to me! The sound is loud and clear. The violin also came in perfect shape (No dings or scratches, or imperfections in the finish) and feels very solid. It is not as yellow as in the pictures and is slightly more reddish and warm colored. The strings sound great as well, but if I may find I need to upgrade as I learn and progress. The tuning pegs up top did slip for me (some more than others), but the fine tuners worked perfectly, and there are many tricks to get the tuning pegs to stay put, so I wouldn't say this is a deal breaker. From what I can tell, this is quality. It is definitely NOT a toy or a cheap-o, and I can see myself playing it for a long time. The Bows- The bows sound good and seem balanced. They look pretty, though there are minor imperfections. They seem a little bit cheap compared with the quality of the violin, but they work well enough for me. Same as with the strings, I might upgrade as I progress, but as the violin comes with 2 bows, I can't see myself needing to upgrade any time soon. The Case- It is a hard-shell case wrapped with canvas and a soft lining. It zips up and has a button flap. It has a pocket in the front (which is just big enough to hold a lesson book) and a handle and backpack straps on the back. I am very impressed with it! The case also has a spot to hold your 2 bows and your rosin/accessories. Very sturdy (and light-weight despite that). I feel confident putting my violin in it. It could take some bumps and still be perfectly fine. Definitely a plus! The Book- The book also impressed me! It covers all the basics such as holding the violin and bow. It starts off with the open strings and progresses with all of the notes and various techniques and scales. It has 32 pages chock-full of exercises, folk songs, and classical songs which are fun to play. You can learn quite a bit from this book. It is perfect for getting you started (plus a bit more!) It does progress fairly quickly though, and does not cover a lot of basic music theory. These are not necessarily negatives, but may be important to know. It does say on the book that there is a cd(?) and it did not come with one if it was supposed to. No big deal though, as I probably wouldn't have listened to it anyway. :-) The Shoulder Rest- Fits well on the violin and suits my needs. It has plastic screws on the bottom to tighten it on and the rubber feet to grip the violin. It will not scratch the violin (unless you are jamming it on). It is comfy and doesn't jab into my shoulder at all, though it may for other individuals. It seems a little plastic-y/cheap, so I may upgrade eventually. The Tuner- Okay. I don't know if it needs newer batteries than what it came with, but it only registers about 1/4 of what is being played. But when it registers, it works correctly. I will try new batteries and see if it works better then. I already have tuners, so this was not a big deal to me. It has a built in metronome though, which could be useful. The Rosin- Works well. Applies easy. It is not messy and has plastic to hold on to as you are applying it. It has its own little case as well. I would definitely recommend buying this violin. From what I can tell, you probably can't go wrong buying any in the CVN series. ... show more
