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!

on December 27, 2024

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 ...

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 consistent results, but after you finish and go back to check your work it starts all over again. I make it tighter it goes lower, the fine tune knobs I can barely grasp with my fingers and after spending so much time trying to get a tune it becomes painful. Tapping out, I'm done. Unless you can afford to buy better higher quality instruments I wouldn't take the cheaper route ever again. It's not worth the savings. Doesn't seem to keep a tune.

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 .

I couldn't be happier. It is beautiful, can't wait to start my lessons. I will definitely tell people about your website. Thank you for a speedy delivery.

Sounds great and perfect for beginners. The color is really nice! My son loves it!

Absolutely Stunning!

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.

I got it for my girlfriend, she loves it much!

A great beginner violin! My daughter loves it and the finish is absolutely beautiful.

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.

To my surprise, this violin is better than I thought.

Great price. I purchased this for my granddaughter as a birthday gift.

on December 30, 2023

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.

on December 22, 2023

Very good item and package. Son plays this all the time.

on December 15, 2023

It had everything we need it for our daughter to start her violin lessons.

on December 07, 2023

Have fun. I like it.

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.

on November 23, 2023

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

on November 17, 2023

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

on November 10, 2023

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)

on November 03, 2023

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.

Good for the price, not top of the line quality but the not top of the line price.

The GV403 Violin is the second instrument I've purchased from Glarry. The instrument is a great value for the money and is fully functional for a budget beginner or student. The sound post came loose during shipping. This is not uncommon in any violin as it is not a glued-in part. Customer service was outstanding. They replied immediately and told me to bring it for local repair and they would cover the cost as a refund. I did and they refunded the repair cost right away. I'm very happy with the ...

I'm very happy with the violin and accessories. If you want a very low-cost instrument package that is not a toy or decoration I recommend Glarry.

Bought this for my little cousin. Sound seems nice and most importantly - her teacher approved the violin.

on October 04, 2023

Good basic kit for someone looking to try the violin.

on October 01, 2023

Violin itself is very nice. I'm not very familiar with the instrument and what should be the normal. The only thing that I thought was off was the hair on the bow was pretty loose. My daughter is 12 and loves this product. She has not played an instrument before so this is a great beginners product.
