  • GREAT BEGINNER VIOLIN - Violin Teacher APPROVED!
I bought the 1/2 size for my 8yr old boy, based off comments in the question section. I bought it in black. BE AWARE: the black is NOT black matte, but a shiny, glittery black. Just saying. I bought after seeing a video on YouTube where this guys tested 10 different violins of various quality and price, and my husband and I both thought the cheap Amazon violin was one of the best sounding. And let's face it. An 8yr old boy isn't exactly gentle on stuff, nor do we know if he'll actually like it (it was his idea). So, it came with everything shown, and a few extras such as rosin (needed for bow), batteries for the tuner (excellent!) and a book on how to play. Case alone is worth $100. When I bought my flute ages ago, a case like that was extra $$$ and considered high dollar. The bow came with the bridge in place, but did need extensive tuning. I DO reccommend reading the enclosed instructions, they are GREAT. You need to rosin up the bow for a while, and the pegs as well. The sound was shockingly amazing once that was all done. NO VIOLIN STAYS IN TUNE!! They are wooden instruments, and subject to the weather conditions outside so you must tune EACH TIME you play. My teacher added some sort of oil to the tuning pegs to keep them from slipping. You can also twist the tiny little metal pegs at the bottom to fine tune the tuning (I didn't know this until the teacher did it). Even the tuner impressed me, it listed each note on the back of the back that each string needed to be tuned to, and I had no complaints on ANY of it. I was just more and more impressed. He goes into lessons next week, so we'll see if my review changes ;) UPDATE AFTER LESSONS: Teacher was impressed at everything that came with the set, even the book! Teacher suggested packets of alchohol wipes to keep in case to clean the chin rest, strings and bow path. You bow comes un tensioned for a REASON . . . always UN tension it when done playing or you will RUIN your bow!!! ****I had NO idea*** The shoulder rest is TOO BIG for small kids. Instead we ditched it and use a chunk of squishy foam and rubberbands. Works much better! 100% would purchase again and recommend for anyone starting out! ... show more

  • Wonderful in the beginning, frustrating after a month
Size: 4/4 (Full Size) Color: Satin Antique
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. ... show more
