Yes, but my daughter's music teacher had to tighten it up a bit as I know nothing about violins.

hi Kyle D...no, I thought the violin would look like the picture because the wood looks rich and the violin strings looks like it would have a deep sound to it. However, if you haven't bought the violin yet..good.. I would spend a little more money on a good violin that would last you a long time..my mendini is still in the box oh and the strings on the violin are cheap..thank you for asking I hoped I help :) Deanne allen

Yes, for the most part. But the "flamed" striping was not very pronounced on ours. Still a beautiful violin.

I'm not a violinist, but I picked one up the other day and felt like I could fret easily. But the violin is already easier to fret. I'm sure the motion of exercising each finger for speed/agility would be helpful though.

It's not silent. But, it's pretty quiet, especially if you bow it lightly. You can also use headphones with it. It is definitely much quieter than a regular violin.

The shoulder rest goes on the back of the violin. The sides of the shoulder rest should pull straight out. Then tighten them back to fit the violin. Hope this helps

It comes with a basic curved violin bridge, as oppose to a fiddle bridge. I believe mine also came with an extra bridge. Some of the reviews suggested that it was not put together and that you would have to take it to a luthier, but mine was ready to play.

It is a little white box in the compartment above where the violin rests. Make sure not to touch the rosin with your bare hands.

Lou: Yes it is large enough. Plus on the support where the neck of the violin rests on the case there is the velcro loop that is designed just for the bridge. A cool feature that preserves space in the accessory box. It is the best case that I have had... really solid straps, metal pieces...fellow fiddlers have been impressed and have inquired about it. It a good one. Dr. Dan

I bought the violin as a gift so I couldn't tell you. I hear the friends I bought it for really like it!

It look like wood and very well done. When I opened and send it to one of my granddaughter. I am not very familiar with violins but my brother in law told me that it was beautifully made and was impressed with it. If it was not real my brother in law would of told me to send it back. H

My Violin was in very good shape when it came. Nothing broke when it was tuned. It is quite beautiful. I am completely new to violins so regarding sound, I think it gets better as you learn to play. I am still scratchy. When I get smoother so will the sound. When you practice, so do your ears. In time, you will probably want a better instrument. For the price, this is good to learn on. Just a note, it is black and it smells like spray paint! I am still happy with my purchase.

Even though I use this metronome while playing the piano, I believe that it would be loud enough while playing violin because it has two different sounds and a volume control.

Probably in overhead compartment. Excellent case. Well organized. Lots of compartments. Ideal for student violin to expensive antique.

It is not completely silent. You have control over the volume, however, even if you put headphones on others will still hear the violin, but it is quiet.

I dont know, its a lottle heavier than a regular violin, its a solid body construction, but it sounds so good that you dont even need it plugged in or powered on to have a good rich sound

I believe they are. I must say the quality of the violin is really excellent. The sound is richer and is a deeper than most violins in this price range. We've purchased this last summer and it's still great.
