What is the violin made of? Is it plywood like another review suggested?

Yes the instrument is made of plywood and has a matte-like finish, and the instrument is very light (while inside the carrying case), but it sounds and look good if that helps. I am a sax player and just learning how to play the violin so my view may or may not help you.

China in the past and currently uses plywood. The Fever Electric Violin is constructed of solid wood, because the sound quality with the acoustic and when it is amplified is loud. You usually do not hear an accoustic violin sounding this loud. I play this violin more without the amplification, because it's too loud for my neighbors whereI like to play it in my home. The sound holes are constructed just a little wider, butnot too wide. The attached violin bridge would not be as secure, if it was plywood.Plywood and Solid Wood look the same.

It's a decent violin for a starter. The style is quite beautiful. They left the back of the neck unfinished to eliminate any gummy reside from forming. The only desired upgrade would be a hard case instead of the hard formed cloth case.

I don't know. But I have to say that it is a SHOCKINGLY nice violin. The sound quality and resonance are so beautiful it totally knocked our socks off. My sons violin teacher could not believe it was so cheap. Really, it is a very nice instrument. The sound is very rich. I am impressed. I would recommend it to anyone.

Yes, there is a very nice velvet blanket included to protect the violin. I must add that the case is well make and we have not had any problems with it. My granddaughter got the pink case and it's the envy of all of her friends.

I asked my husband this question since he enjoys dabbling in minor carpentry projects and he thinks it's solid wood. My cello fits well though it is a little snug. But it still works for me.

Yes, It has a very good sound for an inexpensive violin. Especially if you change to some better strings. But ya, if you can find a good used one I would go that route.

I haven't had any problems with this violin. Had it for a month now. It is way better than I thought it would be for the price. So yes it's a quality instrument for a beginner.

Its great for beginners! I purchased it a few months ago. I got new strings for it though and the sound improved immensely. On youtube "the online piano tutor"(she does violin too) has a really good review on it. :-)

Plywood. I love it. I've bought 2. We shaved the handle to make it flat on each side ....so then u can use American girl hangers with it.

Well, Im not entirely sure what It was made out of. A strong composit of somekind...The pieces would have been much heavier if it was made out of particle board or plywood. But I do think it is very sturdy. This was purchased for a 3 yr. old. who has a 1 yr. old bother/ I think it was a good purchase though.

It does make good sound! Up past a high d or so it can get a little squeaky if you aren't careful.. It was in fine shape when I bought it, though it was already strung and the g and e strings broke, but I restrung it anyway. I've played better instruments of course, and I just bought this one really to see if I could get a decent violin for that cheap, and I did! All of what you receive is worth more than what you pay for. I'd recommend it for if you wanted a colored violin for festivals, a special/themed concert, or just for practice and the occasion orchestra rehearsal or concert.

There are two excellent quality bows, two bridges, rosin, shoulder brace, and an extra set of strings included with the violin in a very sturdy, good looking hard case. Can't say enough about this purchase. Am extremely pleased!

Yes, it's a very firm foam, including the interior. There is a cheap velvet covering in the interior and really does nothing to cushion your violin. Better quality cases, even some I've owned at this price point, have had a softer padding that contacts the violin. I won't use it for extended use due to fear of getting rub spots or damage from dropping. I actually believe other reviewers got a different case than what I received based on their glowing reviews while my opinion is its a cheaply made case that poorly protects the violin and won't even take a standard 4/4 bow without forcing in place. Bad case in my opinion. Yes, it's a very firm foam, including the interior. There is a cheap velvet covering in the interior and really does nothing to cushion your violin.

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

It is a plastic/fiberglass, very well built with a very tight string. My daughter wanted to play Hunger Games and this was too much of a bow for her. She would have been happy with one from the dollar store and I went about $20.00 over what she wanted to play with. If you have a kid who is serious about learning archery, this would be a great starter. If they just want to play Hunger Games look for something else.

It is made out of wood but it is very cheap/thin wood. I would say ply wood.
