My sons' music teacher asked me to please get a violin that came with the bridge attached. my question is, does the bridge come attached?

The bridge did come attached on ours. It's not glued on. Some bridges are not curved enough and may need to be changed One thing we learned quickly, though, that is when you change the strings (as you will soon enough) do them one at a time. It was pretty tough to change all of them at once and then get the bridge straight.

mine did come with an attached. however, it depends on who you buy it from. I believe most of them do

The bridge is not glued or permanently attached at all. Actually, among the most noticeable weak points of this violin is the bridge. We have had problems with it and have tried using various means to make it work. Turns out we will have to purchase a better bridge if we want the instrument to work properly.

Goodness, it's not supposed to be attached! You're supposed to be able to slide the bridge around to find the best tone; only the tension of the strings hold it in place (which is why you should only change or loosen one string at a time). I'm surprised a violin teacher didn't know this!

This violin comes with all the strings. I am very satisfied with the purchase as I play every week for my church and since I'm the only stringed instrument I need to be heard!

If the bridge is the same size as a 4/4 violin. Call your local luthier or string shop to find out. The mute fits onto the bridge.

It comes assembled, but don't buy one if you want to use it. My daughters teacher says violins from the internet aren't good. Especially Amazon. They don't hold the tune. She tuned it and almost immediately it went out of tune.

I'm happy with this, but I'm new at this. My father was a violinist and I don't recall him ever using anything. When I checked the reviews on this, it was inconsistent, but I figured it was inexpensive and if I didn't like it, I'd try again. This isn't much help. For that I'm sorry.

Mine came with the strings - they were already on the violin but very very loose when I received them. I just had to tune them and they were ready to go... but this model seemed particularly annoying to tune compared to my usual / original violin.

What are you looking for. How much spring or what? My violin went from a 1915 to the one we purchased my violin is happy in its new home. It has no complaints.

Not true. It comes with strings and is playable as received; although minor setup is suggested. I use mine almost daily for (nearly) silent practice.

Watch fiddler man on YouTube. He has some great info to help. I love this violin. I do think (after researching my purchase ) that in the musical instruments market, money is an important factor. Spend to the upper end of your comfort level. It wil, hopefully, mean a higher quality instrument. Regardless, your first violin will have sentimental value, even if you invest in another.

Hello Nick. Personally, I think so but I am not a professional violinist I actually play the sax and wanted to fiddle around with the violin. It works for me... I hope this helps... :)

It's slightly larger than a violin. Quite a bit heavier too. Is your violin oversized or something?? It's a hundred dollar case!! Buy it! You don't like it?? Send it back!!

We bought this two years ago. It came with a case, rosin, a bow and an unassembled bridge. You need to put it together which I don't think is too hard. I think that is all. It has been a nice violin from my 10-11 year old

The violin that we purchased came equipped with strings already installed. Most of them snapped upon first tuning. We are experience with violins, so this means the strings are of poor quality. Do your self a favor and order a set of better quality strings in addition to the violin. Would suggest Daddario prelude steel strings ($15?). They are USA made, and will work well on an electric violin.All the best!

I am an adult beginner and can only tell you that with the instruction sheet included, I was able to set up the bridge, get it tuned to my piano, and rosin the bow so it makes sound. There is a solution given if the pegs tend to loosen causing the strings to go out of tune but all new strings tend to stretch at first so I'm confident that will not be a problem. I'm happy with my bargain purchase.

Teacher had to put bridge on, tune, and tighten the strings. So no it's not exactly ready to go but I have had stings replaced/ tuning at local music store for cheap so think they could set it up also. We are having issue with strings loosening but told the cold weather can cause this.

The strings come attached. In fact, as soon as my violin came in, I took it to my local music store (who strung my acoustic violin) to have him check it out to see if the violin and strings are of good quality. He thought is was decent quality. I couldn't be happier with it, especially for the price. When you first get it, you will have to re-tune the strings every 10 minutes or so while you are playing, but after about a week of re-tuning (and it does need tuning less frequently with time) you are good to go. It doesn't hold a tune as well as my acoustic...I tune it before I begin playing usually, but it does hold well and the sound is fantastic. You can play it through an amp or into headphones and I think the sound quality is awesome. Hope this helps. :)
