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.

Reviewed in the United States on June 3, 2018
I play instruments. I play the cello, I know acoustic bass, and I play the piano a little and I wanted to learn the violin. I wanted a violin that I could learn off of and wasn’t too expensive and I found this kit and I really like it. The violin isn’t the best but if you are just starting out it is a good price for what you are receiving. It came with everything it promised and it is a good setup for a beginner. The bridge most likely will not be set whenever you get the package but that was easy enough to fix. The tuning wasn’t too bad. However, the instrument does seem to get just slightly out of tune when I take it back out of the case. The bow is not great, I would recommend a better one but this is ok if you just want to learn the violin. The shoulder rest was the one thing I had a problem with. It is definitely not the a high quality one and I struggled with it to find out where it would stay in, but it is usable. It came with everything it promised (the extra strings, rosin, and even an extra bridge are in a pocket on the inside of the case) and the tuner even came with its own battery. I would definitely recommend this product to anyone that is just starting but also recommend you buy finger tapes and another shoulder rest if you prefer.

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!

Reviewed in the United States on August 2, 2022
I have always wanted to learn to play the violin, so I finally decided to get this one based on research "best violin for beginners" and plan to teach myself. All the searches I came across said this was the top violin for beginners. For the price, the quality is great, you get presumably everything you need for full basic setup and it comes strung already. Bow is not resined, so if you have never played, let alone seen, a violin before, then you can watch some YouTube videos on how to properly resin the bow, like I did (you won't be able to get sound without doing that, which I never knew before!) Be careful of strings, they will break easily, especially the E string. I was attempting to tune it for the first time and I barely moved the peg, and mine snapped, so it was fantastic that they had an extra string included! I decided to take up my Pastor's offer to tune it for me so I knew it would be in the best hands possible and I could practice tuning at a later time (I had watched YouTube videos that taught how to tune, but I was having difficulty getting it just right when it snapped). Also, as I was attempting to tune, the other strings were a little easier to tune, but the pegs kept slipping, so every time I would get the strings tuned, they seemed to slip and loosen and I'd lose the correct sound. Loved that it came with a tuner, and that the tuner came with a battery! The sound quality is really good for a cheapy beginner violin once it is tuned. The accessories that cone with the violin help to get you up and going right out of the package. The only accessory that is not included that is suggested for learning to play, is the fingerboard cheat that shows you where all the notes are. I am ordering one to better help me learn finger placement for correct notes since I am teaching myself. Case is not HARD, but definitely not soft, and is sturdy. Again, seems like a great little violin for someone starting out, and has pretty much all the necessary accessories for beginners. I got the Satin antique, and it is pretty! Can't wait to start learning and playing! I will try to update later when I get my violin back and begin actually learning to play and can review more from experience.

1.0 out of 5 stars Cannot be tuned
Reviewed in the United States on September 2, 2024
The violin outfit is ok, the tuner is ok too. But the violin's TUNEABILITY is the WORST... tune one string and the other strings will be out of tune. IF you are a beginner you would think that it is impossible for you to learn to play violin. The teacher tuned it and that's when i learned that it's not the student it's the instrument. Just buy your child a violin with better quality... it will be more expensive but your student will not get frustrated learning the instrument.
