    • Violin Teacher’s take on the 1/10
I’ve been teaching violin for 13+ years, have my masters in violin performance, etc. When I started violin 25+ years ago, I started on a 1/16. The quality of this 1/10 violin is better than what I started learning on, and I made it just fine as a musician. Craftsmanship: the one complaint I have with this violin is that there is a small separation in the wood along the purfling on the back. I’m not yet sure if this is because it’s real purfling and some of it is missing. Or if it’s an actual separation in the wood. So far, it doesn’t appear to be separating any further even when I tune it. This is a good sign. But I will be keeping my eyes on this. Tuning: There are a lot of comments on here about how these violins don’t hold their tune. I cannot speak to all of these objections. But I can say that the tuning issues I’ve had with this 1/10 are the SAME issues you’d have with ANY violin when you introduce it to a new climate. Pins and Pegs: I’ve seen some reviews on here about the pins not tuning it. Again, I can’t speak for all of these comments. But With the 1/10 I purchased, the pins only stop tuning when they’re too loose. This happens with EVERY violin - even the best Strad. The pins are for micro-adjustments in tuning. The pegs are for making big tuning adjustments. In other words, it’s probably not a flaw with the violin. The peg holes are the right size. So they hold tune surprisingly well for a small violin. Sound quality: really good projection for such a small violin. No violin this size is going to sound fabulous. That’s to be expected. But it sounds better than the fist violin I had 😃. Bow: I can’t remember if anyone complained about the bow not working. But again, that’s not a flaw with the bow. It just needs rosin, which is included in the purchase. Horse-hair bows don’t grip the string until you add rosin to create friction. The 1/10 violin comes with rosin, extra strings, a good case, and a shoulder rest. In my opinion, this is a great deal for a small violin. But I will be keeping my eye on that little crack on the back of the violin. If it gets worse, I’ll update this review accordingly. So far so good though ... 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
