About this item

Great Violin For Beginners: The beginner violin is an ideal stringed musical instrument for any student who has dreams of playing music. The set includes all the necessities to start learning how to play.
Elegant Design: As beautiful as most orchestral string instruments, this sleek violin has a hand-carved spruce top with maple back and sides. A finish of metallic varnish, maple fingerboard, chin rest and an alloy tailpiece with 4 fine tuner make this a work of art.
Violin Learning Kit Includes: Cecilio violin, 1 bow, extra set of violin strings, 2 violin bridges, a quality rosin, adjustable shoulder rest with padding and soft rubber feet, clip-on tuner, and lightweight hard case with pockets, backpack and shoulder straps.
Basic Technique: Set includes a Mendini Violin First Lesson book with instruction on basic techniques and lessons on how to read music. Also, a companion download (available online) has exercises and pieces recorded with solo violin and piano accompaniment.
Handle With Care: The adult or kids violin, like most band & orchestra musical instruments, is delicate. Please note the bridge will not be setup to avoid damage during shipping. NOTE: Tuning pegs must be handled with care and pushed in when adjusting.

I bought this for my 10 year old. If fit him with out having to change it's length. The bow is nice but the rosin wasn't good so we needed to buy some that wasn't rock hard. The sound is great, just gotta get the boy lessons.

Happy with this purchase. This violin is an affordable option for a child to learn on. Unless you know what you're doing, I recommend taking it to someone who can set it up to play... It is not ready to play right out of the box (btw, this item is very well packaged for shipping). That will save you breaking strings.

Reviewed in the United States on March 30, 2024
I played violin through 2 years of middle school and all four years of highschool. I stopped for many years and found this violin as one to pick things back up with. I came to write this review because I wanted to express this violin is perfectly fine for parents looking to get their kids into a string instrument. Its perfectly fine for someone who is coming back but doesn't want to break the bank. Some parents in the reviews have been given a hard time by their kid's instructors because of the make. I say in all seriousness, many violin instructors are snobby, it just comes with the territory. If you are looking for quality violin to start that's for a good price, look no further. I would say as you progress, if you would like better quality strings and bow, go for it, but that is not to say that this make is terribly quality; it's alright. I also read in the reviews that it feels cheap, but I disagree. Violins are light weighted instruments. If you're looking for "$1k carved from Yggdrasil and a bow made from the hair of Galadriel" quality this isnt for you. Happy Playing!

3.0 out of 5 stars Not sure about the quality
Reviewed in the United States on February 22, 2024
I bought this for my daughter who suddenly said one day, "Mommy, I want to take violin lessons!" - uh, ok, but I don't know if you're going to stick with it or jump to the next thing like you did last time, and anyone who's rented before knows it's a terrible deal, you can buy the real deal in just a few months of renting! So I wanted something cheap but usable for a few trial lessons. This seemed nice enough to me, someone who's never seen a violin up close. Shiny wood, came with the resin, a case, some accessories.. Great! The first day the violin teacher saw the instrument he turns to me and goes, "she can't use that - that's a toy, it's not a real instrument". Well excuuuse me! I didn't realize we'd be performing at Carnegie Hall. Anyway, I've since learned that the teacher is one of those who truly loves violin as an art and passion, not just a way to make a living teaching kids. So of course this "toy" would be offensive to him. But just a warning to you beginners out there: this is not considered a "real" violin! I will say though, as I've been dragging my feet to buy the real violin, that although my untrained ear can actually hear a difference between his instrument (a richer, deeper more robust tone) and hers (a little more scratchy and weak) there's not enough difference that I would've ever known the difference if I hadn't heard them side by side. And I'm sure he spent thousands on his. 'Course that's the opinion of someone, like I said, whose never even seen a violin up close. Although, I'm guessing if you're considering this violin in this price range, you're probably not any more snooty on your violin tonal quality than I am!
Oh! I will say though, several of the hairs on the bow started breaking and loosening just a couple of lessons in and we just had to cut them off. Not sure if that's normal for violin players or just a reflection of the poor quality on a toy...

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!
