Hard to tune, the strings are low quality so it doesn't hold. Any player, especially beginners, will have a hard time tuning this violin!

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. :-)

It's pretty good, it's a basic brand violin, comes with everything you need including the rosin. Just don't drop it because it only comes with one, I broke mine. The sound is ok it has a clear sound but if you are one that wants a better sound then replace the strings with better higher quality strings. But as is, it's a great violin for beginners, I'm a beginner myself and it has worked great! Highly recommend

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.

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.

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

The bow is decent. It plays well (with enough rosin-make sure you put enough rosin) but there are better quality bows out there. This bow is sufficient to learn on, but if you were going to play in an orchestra or something, i would get a better one (and strings too-they both affect the sound quality.)

Hey Chris, are 912 reviews not enough for ya? For the price, it looks like the majority agree that it's 3.5 out of 5. Again, for the price, you will not find a better violin. If you want to spend $200+, you will get a proper 'beginner' violin, but that's a commitment decision you have to make. There are more expensive violins that suck more than this one, there are also better versions from the same company for a bit more (CVN-200, 300, etc.) So, how dedicated or picky are you?

This is a great violin, but ANY new violin, either a cheap one or an expensive one, needs to be taken to a luthier for adjustments before you can start playing it. A luthier should be able to fix that issue. I took mine to a local luthier (who btw thought this was an excellent violin) and for $20 made several small adjustments (usually the bridge is what requires the most of them) and it has been working and sounding great since then. So my advice, find a luthier and bring it to him. If you don't have an accesible luthier near you, sometimes putting some chalk to the pegs help with the problem (I did that on my previous violin and helped to some degree). Good luck.

My son has used his violin as a beginner and now as an intermediate. His instructor has had no complaints.

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.

I think most highschool orchestras would want something slightly more upscale. Unfortunately as with most musical instruments you get what you pay for. If the student has never played violin previously this would be an excellent choice, but if they are outgrowing their old violin then this would probably be considered pretty substandard.

hello! well i do recommend this for beginners in synthezizers, this one is of the simple ones`, but attention! this is not a toy, is a very powerfull machine, with wich you can do a lot of things. so if you are looking for a simple keyboard this is not for you. instead if you want to experiment with sounds and start to understand synthtezizers, this is a good start. this instrument will fit very well beginners but also experts who know how to train this little monster!

If this is their first violin I would recommend it especially if your not sure they will stay with the lessons and continue playing. If they are accomplished and will continue playing I would purchase a higher quality instrument. This violin does have a good tone and is easy to string and tune. A small girl may need a 3/4. It is a good quality sounding piece for the price and a good starter instrument.

Yes. The FPS isn't super high. It's not really high quality but it definitely does the job for backyard matches and stuff like that. So, yes. It's good for beginners.

Mine still exists. I bought it in February. I just can't USE it because the poor design has all the finger placements wrong. I think any violin (even this one) will last a long time, if you care for it properly and treat it gently.

Yes. I think it would be very good. I bought it for my 50 year old husband. It has everything for a beginner.

The strings are what you'd expect on a cheap uke. The strings are cheap. If you are planning on just playing it for fun as a "starter uke" then you will probably be able to deal with them. However if you change the strings it will give it a better sound (not much better, but it will improve). I put a set of Soprano Aquilla strings and they sound pretty good. The body is cheap, so no strings will make it sound awesome. But new strings help.
