Gorgeous Violin with many extras, I can hardly wait to start playing it, but there are several other instruments I have bought from Glarry recently that are also demanding my time, much appreciated!

Doesn't seem to keep a tune. We tune it, and then check it, and it's out of tune from when we started, so we tune it again and again. Usually takes 3-4 times to get it to hold. But by the next time my daughter plays it's out of tune again. The peg screws at the neck don't have any thread, they wedge into the holes but they come loose. The music store violin we rent doesn't lose tune anywhere near as often. This was purchased to practice at home. More frustrating than anything.

P.S. Update edit. Glarry refunded me $15 for my troubles which is fine I guess. But after another session trying to tune this violin my anger issues cannot. I've cut my losses and thrown this thing out. It's done and over. I apologized to my daughter, and we're moving on. She'll just stick with the rental. I googled youtube videos and tried a few different tricks. The included tuner doesn't even show the correct notes half the time, and using a downloaded app for my phone provided some consisten ...

Rosin crumbled into tiny pieces on the 1st use ! Other than that the violin is satisfactory for the price paid and was easy to set up .

It's really nice. I've never owned a violin before but it sounds good. My children & I have a lot of fun trying to play.

I'm a newbie!!! Still not sure how to tune it. Couldn't get a sound from the string after applying the rosin to the bow. Seems like a nice beginner violin though, lol! Looks great too! I'm sure once I do some more research and attempt to FIDDLE (pun intended) with it more my daughter and I will love it.

The rosin was broken and made a mess when I opened it. The body of the violin is a beautifully antiqued matt natural. Overall, not bad.

After some set up, toning and applying rosin to the bow, I found it's actually playable and it delivers powerful sound. The tone is relatively brighter, when comparing to my old mellow-toned violin. Although the details of the craftmanship is not the greatest, it's still a playable violin, decent enough for a student/beginner. To me, as an intermediate amateur player, I can play it for fun with some songs need brighter tones. So, I will keep this violin.

Not bad for price I paid. I know it's more a less a starter kit for ppl that want an inexpensive setup. Very nice.

Arrived well except the rosin was shattered so I'll have to buy some locally. Very nice that it came with tuner and extra strings. Turning peg is a lil loose so I had to really push it in to hold string in place. All in all worth the price to me.

Grandson loved it.

Looks nice but rosin is all crushed, hair now has bunch of hair broken. But it would be an excellent violin for a beginner or a parent who wants their child to experiment before committing to a more expensive instrument.

Good product. I do think it is very nice for beginners.

I'm actually impressed with how well this cheap violin stays in tune. Good!

I wanted to learn to play, thought this look like a good setup for an adult beginner. really surprised with the quality. only 1 things I'm not crazy about, the rosin difficult to work with. I'm happy with it, now just have to learn to make it sound better (it's me not the violin......grin)

The pegs do move easily, so be sure to push them in before tuning. As the violin gets used to your environment, the pegs will slip less and less. Overall, I like it.
