By Michael J
I purchased this violin for my wife for Christmas as she has been wanting to learn the violin for years. Its hard to find fair reviews online but after some digging I was relatively confident in my purchase.Overall I have to say this is a great value purchase for a mid-level violin for an adult to start on. Critiques below.Sound - According to the instructor the violin has very good tone for its price range. He actually complemented the body, but said the strings are relatively poor and should be replaced. I imagine cheap strings are typical similar to low-mid guitars and you should always invest in the more expensive ones to maximize value.Pegs - Never touching a violin before, I had problems with the pegs. You have to really jam them in there and twist to get them to set. They work, but it would be nice if they had a little more grip on them.Case - The case is very good, hard molded and protects the violin effectively. This likely eliminates 99% of shipping damage that can occur with mailing this kind of equipment around. Case also has a humidity sensor, a cubby for accessories, and a locking hanger to secure the bow.Bow - The bow works very well, no complaints.

For the price, you can't complain too much about this violin. It came with the case, rosin and a pretty nice bow as well.The violin itself is somewhat low quality, the edges have some rough joints, and the one I received had a saw slice in the pegbox that went too far in. The pegs constantly slip - some more than others - so it needs to be tuned every single time you pick it up. I had a violin shop here tell me it was not solid wood either, but I can't confirm if thats accurate or not. The sound of the instrument is somewhat flat.That said, a violin that sounds decent for this price is hard to come by, especially considering this package has everything to get you started included. I was also quite impressed with the bow it came with, it seems like a nice quality wood bow and I can't complain about it - very straight and the fittings look nice. If your just getting started and are not sure if you want to play long term, the price and included accessories with this instrument makes it a great choice.
