  • Good violin for its purpose and price
Size: 4/4 Style: MV300 Color: Antique
Originally, I was looking for a replacement violin case for my old 4/4 violin. Then I saw this MV 300 violin with the case and a few accessories. With its price tag ($53) almost the same to buy a single case itself, I bought it and didn’t expect much on the violin…. However, to my surprise, this violin is better than I thought. After some set up, toning and applying rosin to the bow, I found it’s actually playable and it delivers powerful sound. The tone is relatively brighter, when comparing to my old mellow-toned violin. Although the details of the craftmanship is not the greatest, it’s still a playable violin, decent enough for a student/beginner. To me, as an intermediate amateur player, I can play it for fun with some songs need brighter tones. So, I will keep this violin. Then I still need a case for my old violin. Haha. ... show more

  • I am very pleased!
Size: 4/4 Style: MV200 Color: Natural
I have always wanted to play violin, and a few weeks ago I decided what the heck, I'm going to just get one. I did some research on Amazon and came across this set; the negative reviews made me question if I should buy it or not, but the amount of positive reviews helped me decide to just go ahead and get it. When the violin first came, the strings were all set and everything, but (as expected) it was not in tune. I tried to tune it and I had some trouble. I've tuned a guitar before, so it's not like I was completely clueless- the problem was that I never used an instrument with a bridge before, so I knocked it over when tightening the strings. I wasn't 100% comfortable setting the bridge back up because everything feels so fragile and I didn't want to break anything. I took it to school (I'm a teacher) and had someone in the music department help me. If this is your first experience with tuning a stringed instrument, especially one with a bridge, I would highly suggest taking this to a music store or to someone who can help you. Tuning it after that initial setup isn't so hard; I purchased an awesome tuner to help me. I would HIGHLY recommend this tuner to anyone: Snark SN-5 Tuner for Guitar, Bass and Violin . It's easy to use and really helpful!! Next, I tried to assemble the shoulder rest. Lo and behold, I found that it did not fit...it must not have been made for a 4/4 full size violin because it wouldn't even reach across the bottom. Since the order was fulfilled by Amazon, I contacted them to see if they could replace the part. Amazon customer service is amazing and they said I could either return the whole set for a new one, or they would credit me for part of the cost of the violin so I could buy a new shoulder rest that did fit. I did not want to send the whole set back after the bridge/tuning business, so I had them credit me and I bought the Everest EZ Series Shoulder Rest for 4/4 Violin . It fits perfectly, is affordable, and I can tell it's more comfortable than the one that came with the violin would have been. After that, I took out the bow and began to work on that. I am not thrilled with the bow; when comparing all of the hairs on the bow, some of them were (and still are) more loose than others. However, when you buy a violin set for 60-70 dollars, you can't expect something mind-blowing and amazing. I used the rosin (you have to start it with some sandpaper or something) to get the bow ready to go. I actually ended up buying some better rosin because the stuff that came with the violin set seemed really cheap; after doing some research, I went with Pirastro Goldflex Rosin For Violin - Viola - Cello . I'm sure the cheap stuff is good enough to get by, but I wanted something of just a bit higher quality. The violin set does come with an extra set of strings and an extra bridge; I like having those extra pieces as backups just in case. As for the quality of the strings, I've seen from other reviews that the strings really make a difference in the sound the violin makes; maybe in the future, I'll get some nicer strings, but for now the ones that came in the set work fine. I have friends that play the violin and I know the one I bought off Amazon doesn't sound half as nice (and it never will), but this Mendini set is such a great starter. It's affordable and sounds pretty good, which is all I need since I'm just teaching myself in my free time. One last thing- I live in the middle of nowhere and do not have access to lessons (and the school I teach at doesn't even have orchestra- band only, so sad), so the book I've been using is Essential Elements 2000 for Strings Plus DVD: Violin Book 1 . It's easy to use and comes with a DVD (which I didn't find too helpful) and a CD so you can play along with the tracks (which IS very helpful). I have also been using various YouTube videos for technique, like the bow hold, because those aren't covered as well in that book/on the DVD. I am very pleased with this violin and I would highly recommend it- especially if you're an adult looking for something affordable to putz with! ... show more

  • Good for the price. Know how to put on strings and bridge first.
Size: 4/4 Style: MV300 Color: Antique
Not ‘great’ quality, but is pretty good for the price. Great to learn on for beginners. The rosin was broken and made a mess when I opened it. Comes with extra strings and extra bridge and shoulder rest. The case is sturdy and secure, with handle and backpack straps. Very light. I had to re-peg a string and put a fine tuning per back in. The body of the violin is a beautifully rich golden brown. Overall, I’d recommend to anyone wanting to learn about violin without breaking the bank. ... show more

  • DO NOT PURCHASE!! Absolutely horrible quality
Size: 4/4 Style: MV300 Color: Antique
Horrible materials, strings snapped, wouldn't tune, box came damaged. DONT WASTE YOUR TIME AND MONEY!! Okay... let me just start by saying that I understand that this violin is only 53 dollars, and so you should expect 53 dollar quality. First, the product came in a damaged box. It was shipped with no care as the box was dented and bashed. Secondly, it feels cheap. Probably because it is. For the price of 53 dollars, don't expect much, because you are not going to get it. Yet it is proclaimed to be real wood and high quality strings, the strings snapped almost instantly when I attempted to tune the instrument. The tuning pegs also did not hold tune. You would find the perfect tune, but the second you moved your hand away from the peg, it snapped back like elastic. I considered my expectations low as I wasn't expecting great sound or looks, but this product (you can't even call it an instrument) exceeded my expecting in the worst way possible. Good quality violins can be pricey, but it is a sacrifice you must take if you want to actually progress and play an instrument not just send it back. Don't listen to the 5 star reviews, buy a more expensive violin so that you actually get the chance to play it. ... show more
