Nice violin for the price. My kids teacher specifically said not to buy the instrument on amazon, he wanted us to rent it from one of the music stores but for the price it made no sense, not to mention I wasn’t sure if my kid was going to stick to it. We had some issue in the begging because the violin wouldn’t hold the tune and the teacher wasn’t being helpful because we didn’t do what he said, but after I personally spoke to him he said he could use a spray, that is proper for it, that makes it a little sticky so the strings wouldn’t slip so easily (forgive my lack of proper terms, he didn’t give me a name for the spray, that was his explanation) after he did that the violin was perfect. My son used it all year. The case handle broke, both of them, but I won’t hold this against them because I’ve seen how my kid would carry it and swing it so I’m not surprise it broke. I was able to stitch it back together and it’s been holding well. My older kid outgrew this one and I had to buy a bigger size so I went ahead and bought the same violin in full size too. Never had a problem with it. Now my younger son uses this one and even though I got the same speech from the teacher( different one) about not buying from amazon she never said a word about this violin. This is a perfect product for a kid or a beginner and it comes with everything you need.

This violin over all for the price was fantastic...HOWEVER...Remember that you ARE buying a violin that will be shipped to you IN a TRUCK...where it will be tossed about and the tunning pegs and the strings will probably come undone... Now I already play a ukulele and a mandolin and a guitar so for me to put the tuning pegs and strings back on was no big deal. But for someone who has never owned an instrument before they will need someone who can help them to make sure it works...I would ask a friend or relative to help you if you are going to buy this because if you take this violin to a music shop they are going to whine the whole time and try to tell you it’s a bad violin and you shouldn’t have bought it blah blah blah... It’s a good violin, especially for a beginner, comes with great accessories but I would replace the rosin with a better quality rosin like hill it will sound better. Also, I found that the tunning pegs were better after I tapped them (lightly!) with a hammer to keep them in tighter...this greatly helped with the tunning process. I’m still giving this product five stars because it’s price means that it is possible for someone on a strict budget can still afford a violin where as before it would have been impossible especially as the next cheapest violins can go for $600 or more...

It's a sturdy, pretty little thing and when I first got it I was entranced by it. It was surprisingly comfortable to hold and for the first week, that's about all your really learning to do. The bow is nice and sturdy and the screw maintains the horse hair very well. I only have to adjust it about once per week. The rosin is frustrating if you don't know what your doing. Take a house key and score the top of it 3 or 4 times before trying to apply it to the horse hair. I didn't know and kept trying to apply it without scoring it and could never really get a good sound. So I'm into week 2 and I'm trying to play Twinkle Little Star. And what sound I can make sounds horrible. So I try adjusting the tune using the supplied tuner. This is where it got frustrating. I didn't know what I was doing so I broke 2 strings quickly. Figured out how to put on the new ones. And kept trying to get them to stay tuned according to the meter. They would hold the tune for a few minutes and then it would be off. I figured, fine I can live with it until I get my tax return and buy a real violin. It's week 4, and I am getting to where I can actually play Twinkle Little Star, but the sound is so bad I just can't do it and so will be financing a high quality instrument. Overall, this is a great instrument to buy if you're just curious, or especially if you're buying for a young child. Be warned however that if you get hooked on it, and I sure did, the 30-40 minutes I practice at night has become the highlight of my day. I get excited about trying different finger positions and what kind of notes I can make. Then you will quickly become frustrated with it. And you will buy a better one. It was definitely worth the $80 to find out that I really enjoy it. Way better than dropping $500 to have it sit in the corner and collect dust, because I didn't actually have a passion for playing.

I just received the violin and there are a few issues with it. I was under the impression that I was paying for a new violin because no where in the listing did it say the product was used/second hand/refurbished. It is very obvious that what I was received was used and stored for ages before being mailed to me. The case has loose threads hanging around and the velvet inside is dusty, stained and falling apart in places and will definitely not stand the handling of a 4th grader. The bow was not good because the hair is frayed and loose. The rosin came with chipped pieces. The violin strings don’t look like they will hold up to the gentlest playing.

This is a review for Mendini By Cecilio Violin For Kids & Adults - 4/4 MV300 Satin Antique, Student or Beginners Kit. I had an incomplete shipping address and the violin was sent back to the seller. KK Music immediately sent me an email and said they wanted to make it right, what could they do? I sent the correct address and it was quickly sent. I am impressed with the care of the case: velcro strip holding the finger board stable, two bridges (one was installed upright), strings were installed, shoulder rest, extra set of strings, and rosin. It came with a music book by Craig Duncan who has a huge reputation in violin/fiddle. 28 lessons with lesson 1 showing how to hold the violin and bow. It shows the D, G, C, and A key signature and diagrams. Very well done! This is a company that cares about the customer. This violin was reviewed by Alison Sparrow a professional violinist. I would easily order from this company anythime!
