For the money, this is a fantastic value. This is my 2nd violin purchase from Glarry...the first was the Antiqued violin for my daughter. We're both beginners with zero experience who just wanted to give it a try. After the first hour, I enjoyed playing hers so much I decided to get this one just for me. I like the Antiqued violin a little better and recommend that one first if you can afford the few extra dollars--I will go into those details on that product page. Price-wise neither of them can ...

For the money, this is a fantastic value. This is my 2nd violin purchase from Glarry...the first was the Antiqued violin for my daughter. We're both beginners with zero experience who just wanted to give it a try. After the first hour, I enjoyed playing hers so much I decided to get this one just for me. I like the Antiqued violin a little better and recommend that one first if you can afford the few extra dollars--I will go into those details on that product page. Price-wise neither of them can be beat. This is a budget violin so you won't be playing concerts as soon as it arrives, but it will introduce a beginner to the basics at a VERY low entry price, and from there you can see if it's something you want to continue. It does require some set up before it is playable--but so will ANY budget violin. I recommend you watch youtube videos to learn the right way to set it up. They will show you how to set the bridge, tune the strings and rosin the bow. Setting the bridge is very important, so pay extra attention to that. It's not hard, just an important detail.Tuning is difficult the first time because the pegs tend to slip--however I learned this is a common issue for many violins, and certainly for any budget violin, so I assure you your violin is not defective. Some inward pressure when turning the pegs should work just fine, it did for me. Rosin on the pegs is another possible remedy. The fine tuners work well for keeping in tune--check and fine tune each time before you play, I recommend a phone app. All in all, with a little setup effort this is a great violin for a pure beginner, for less than the cost of 2 months of a student rental from a retailer. Shipping was fast, the case is durable, the violin looks good, and all accessories required for play are included. I'm very satisfied with my purchase and I highly recommend this product for anyone remotely interested in learning to play the violin.

For the price its a very nice instrument. I love it so much! It did come with a string that was starting to unravel but, also came with spare strings, so very easy fix! It does take a while for it to stay in tune, but that comes with every new instrument no matter what you buy. Overall I would highly recommend this instrument, its wonderfully for a beginner violinist such as my self.

This a good quality instrument with very nice resonance. Our 5 year old daughter has enjoyed learning how to play this violin.

I bought this for my adult daughter and she loves it. Had to watch a Youtube to figure out how to set it up, where to place the bridge, etc. It's unbelievable how much you get for such a small price. I was so happy with this that I bought another for my son.

This violin is wonderful. I have played since I was a child always renting and never owning. Thanks to your company I now own a beautiful violin that sounds amazing and my church agrees that after the right tuning its is perfect. I look forward to buying another for my 6 year old daughter once I get the money saved up

The violin was a really nice violin for the money. I would definitely purchase again. The only negative, which was not that bad is, the case had some mold inside. Not sure if it may have been stored in a damp place but the violin was not effected.

I'm very impressed with the quality of this fiddle. I don't know how they can do all of this for that price. It looks great and sounds great. Perfect for a beginner like me. I'll will be back.
