Hi, I'm really interested in this product, but will the strings of the violin be tuned?

No the strings won't be tuned I'd advise in getting a tuner especially since it being new strings they won't stay tuned for long. But eventually they stay tuned.

They will be tensioned but not tuned. I found this to be an excellent practice instrument that needs minimal setup. Every violin needs to be tuned every time it is played, no exceptions.

Get a set of GOOD strings not the ones that come with the violin. BE PATIENT it will take some time to adjust and for the stings to stretch out. It took a few weeks if constant adjustment even in the middle if practices but now it stays tuned ir close to it almost as well as my good violin.I use this one to practice in the early morning when the family is asleep it isnt silent but pretty quiet

The string that came with it were just okay. I play on a regular basis so I have extra strings and I just added some peg drops to the tuners. As with any new instrument it just needed a bit of use and it is great!!

You could tune to any instrument type but you would most likely need to change the strings to get the best tone. I would change the fourth string first.

Yes, but it probably won't be in tune because new strings stretch for quite a while. Go to someone who knows how to tune it. If you tighten the strings too tight, they will snap, like a 100 lb fish on 5 lb test line.

Due to the difference in the overall size, shape and configuration of the head stock (location of tuning keys. etc.), I do not believe this item would work for a violin. Although I am sure that there must be something on the market made for this purpose, I personally am not familiar with it. Since Amazon can provide almost everything in the world, if it's made, they will have it.

It comes with strings already in, the only thing you have to do is check the tuning and rosin the bow. It comes with everything you need to almost play it right out of the box.

Yes, strings, tuner and case. You'll be ready to play right out of the box!

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!

Strings are delicate, and it can be broke in 1/2 during shipping or tuning. If you just receive the package, please contact your seller for replacement strings. It's always better to have an extra set for back up.

I upgraded to Thomastik Dominant Violin String set Ball End strings. I'm a novice and it was easy to change strings, I had no issues with the fine tuners.

No not if You expected to work correctly out of the box. My daughters instructor tried to tune it and was afraid that she was going to crack the violin if she continued to tune it. Some of the other posts advise if you replace the strings that will fix the problem but I didn't attempt to that I just went out to get another replacement one that was a little bit better

The strings may give your violin a different sound. Basically it boils down to what you like and what you are after in sound. This set is a good quality that is easy to break in. As with any new strings, try to put them on well in advance of any performance.

I don't know; but, you could call a local music store that sells violins or check out DOMINANT on the web for this answer. They are VERY nice strings, though! SORRY!

Hi, this instrument has to be tuned before you can use it. We could not play it out of the box. Thank you- Becky

Yes, it's beautiful and ready to be tuned. Just grab a set of finger picks and start playing! It is the sweetest-sounding banjo I've ever played. I'm a banjo teacher and I highly recommend this instrument.

Yes it comes with strings, but as with all newly purchased stringed instruments, you should buy a spare set. It won't be exactly in tune when it arrives, as temperature and humidity and other variables play a part in the tension of the strings. All stringed instruments should be tuned up every time you pick it up to play it. I'd suggest investeing in a cheap digital chromatic tuner that clips onto the instruments pegheag, like a Snark or similar. A new set of mountain dulcimer strings and a cheap clip on tuner shouldn't run you more than about 15 or 20 dollars USD.

Not sure but probably. I use mine some for violin but mostly I use a guitar tuner.

No. There was not a tuner included in the shipment; although it was pictured. I received the violin, bow, rosin, and case. Because of the quality of the violin at such a low price, and because I already had a tuner, I was not concerned about not receiving the tuner that was pictured. I think you'll find you'll be happy with the violin. And, if you don't receive the tuner with the package, there are websites that will give the pitches for the strings.
