Customer Reviews: Great Violin April 3, 2010 MusicMakesThePeople 5 out of 5 found this review helpful
Initially I ordered a Violin that was too small and I thought it would be a hassle to get one my size but the person whom I purchased this Violin from gave me no trouble at all and was very helpful with everything. On top of that, the actual Violin is beautiful and plays spectacularly, I am very pleased with this purchase.
Decent student instrument August 6, 2007 A. M. Lighter (Utrecht, Netherlands) 35 out of 35 found this review helpful
I bought this violin to start my daughter on, and it's been perfectly serviceable. The natural wood and real horsehair bow were a pleasant surprise in an instrument with this price point, and the instrument itself exceeded my (admittedly low) expectations. I grew up a violinist, so I knew I would not be getting the highest quality instrument for this price, but for a child just starting to play, you want an instrument that you won't have weep over if it does happen to get dropped facedown on the floor, or if your child decides to move on to piano or flute instead. This violin fit the bill. It is well-enough put together to learn on, stay in tune, and have passable tone. The only problem I had was that the mass-produced bridge had to be filed down by a luthier to fit the strings properly, but that cost me less than $20 and made all the difference. The case was of higher quality than I expected and my daughter loves the backpack straps. Good starter package.
