    5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent violin (add ons, not so much)
    Reviewed in the United States on February 7, 2017
    I'm an adult beginner who always wished I learned to play violin. I'm not getting any younger, so I decided to just go for it. Having no experience purchasing a violin before, I did a TON of research and watched video reviews by several professionals. I'll save you some time. Buy this violin. Not only a beginner instrument, it should also take you into your intermediate years, which was a big plus in making my decision. The sound quality is great, at least to me, but obviously it's not going to sound like a professional instrument. The violin itself is beautiful and glossy. I did have some issues in the beginning with the pegs slipping but that seems to be normal for a brand new instrument (they don't slip anymore). It stays in tune quite nicely with just minor adjustments with the fine tuners. The fingerboard did make my fingertips black for a while, but that wore off fairly quickly. I really love this instrument!

    I am giving it 5 stars because the instrument itself is great, however the add ons... not so much:

    - Bows: It comes with 2, which is nice and they seem decent, but I had a nicer bow given to me and it's definitely better.

    - Shoulder rest: Do yourself a favor and just add a better one to your cart right now, you'll be happy you did. This thing is absolute junk, extremely uncomfortable, and didn't hold the violin in the right place no matter what I did to adjust it. When I got a better one it was a world of difference!

    - Rosin: Seems decent and I used it for a while (it did need to be scored first) but I bought some jade rosin a month or so ago and I could immediately hear the sound was better (and I'll take anything that makes me sound even slightly better at this point!).

    - Strings: It's been three months am still using the ones that came with the instrument. They seem great to me! I wish it came with a second set!

    - Tuner/metronome: I never even put batteries in it. It doesn't seem like something that's well made. I just use an app on my phone.

    - Lesson book: This book is awesome! It's pretty much the only book I am using, and my tutor also agrees it's a great beginner book. Obviously it starts with the basics and builds you up. It indicates there are songs on a disc that match up, but my book did not come with a disc. There is a link on the very first page where you can download the songs though, which is VERY helpful!

    - Case: Decent. It has a zipper pocket on the outer top of the case, perfect for a small notebook. The lesson book is a little too big to fit in it all the way though. The case closes with a zipper and velcro flap. There's a space inside to store your rosin and extra bridge. The case lid doesn't stay open though, which is annoying. The hinge should allow it to go back just an inch more so it doesn't slam shut on you. Otherwise, it's a case and it does its job.

    All in all, I am super happy with my purchase and learning to play has been such a joy (and not as hard as I thought it would be)!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect Beginner Violin
    Reviewed in the United States on July 5, 2016
    I've been wanting to play the violin for years now and finally decided to start. After looking all over on the internet and Amazon, this was the best one I could find in a price range my college student budget could handle. I haven't had any major issues with this violin at all. I read a lot of reviews on it and saw all the things that could go wrong and all the things that happened to other people. Thankfully, none of them happened to me. I received every product that came with it, the tuner is still working nearly a week after receiving it, the shoulder rest still works, and the violin stays in tune. I didn't use the rosin that came with the violin and opted to buy separate rosin, which works wonderfully, so I can't say much on the rosin. The bows have had a few loose hairs, but still sound good, so I'm not worried about it. Since I'm a beginner, I wasn't looking for amazing sound, but the sound I'm getting is pretty good for a violin on the cheaper side.

    That being said, I do want to replace the bows at some point and get some better quality ones, but that won't be until I'm better at playing the violin. I also want to get a new shoulder rest. It's pretty obvious that the shoulder rest was cheaply made and it sometimes feels like it might fall apart. Mine hasn't yet, but I don't give it too long before it does. The pad on it is comfy enough, but I do want to get one that's a little longer since it sometimes feels like it's not even on my shoulder. With the tuner/metronome, I don't actually use the tuner part of it and opted to get an app on my phone. I do use the metronome and it works great, so I'm glad I still have some use for it. I'd definitely recommend this to a beginner who's looking for a violin on a budget. It's probably one of the best quality ones you can get for a lower price.
