Granddaughter loves it.

Amazing. Maybe due to the lighting, the photo looks brighter, but it's actually a bit darker than my photo. Very retro.

There is a lot to love about this violin but.... Cons- Of the two bows I received one was usable, not great but usable. The other was just absolute trash and I'm kicking myself for not getting pictures before I tossed it. Get yourself a better Rosin, I can prepared for bad rosin and got bad rosin. You can get a decent rosin on Amazon for like $5. If you care about appearance my violin has dirt spots mixed in with the finish. And last, but the most painful one. The E string sits so l ...

There is a lot to love about this violin but.... Cons- Of the two bows I received one was usable, not great but usable. The other was just absolute trash and I'm kicking myself for not getting pictures before I tossed it. Get yourself a better Rosin, I can prepared for bad rosin and got bad rosin. You can get a decent rosin on Amazon for like $5. If you care about appearance my violin has dirt spots mixed in with the finish. And last, but the most painful one. The E string sits so low it's nearly touching the top part of Mt neck. The issue is the nut was filed down too deep. Pro's- Price for sound quality is insane. You will not find a better sounding violin for the price Glarry puts out in the US. It beats out most other more expensive entry level instruments with a consistent warm tone. Aged wood, AGED WOOD, AGED WOOD for $94. Holy poop The case has a built in hygrometer The tuner is great, and I got two bridges which was a huge plus. The violin isn't staying in tune well, but that is to be expected with new cheap strings. Overall- I would give this violin 3.5 stars. If I find an easy affordable solution to the E string I will update my review and increase it's rating.

UPDATE- I received a new bow in good condition and a $15 refund. This worked great because I used the money to buy a new bridge, this solved my E string problem. I would like to change my 3 stars to 5!

Great piece. My daughter wanted on to play for school. So here it is. It is beautiful and it's a great plus for kids. Her teacher was even quite impressed with it and is looking at getting some for the school.

It sounds good and is the perfect size.

We surprised her with this after she signed up for violin in school...She's totally in love with it, and the teacher likes it as well...Overall I think this is the best bang for my buck for a violin set!

I can't rate this any better at this time it was bought as a Christmas gift for my granddaughter so she hasn't received it as of yet . But I will say when it arrived we had to look at it. It is beautiful ! And it seems to be a very good buy for a beginner.

This was a gift for my son. He absolutely loved it!!

I love the violin. It's pretty amd works great for a beginner violin. I was really looking forward to getting one just like this as I am trying to teach myself violin.

on November 28, 2023

The violin is great. I asked my teacher to tune it for me, and when she found out the price, she was full of praise for my violin. I'm so happy. I am very confident that I can learn well.

The craftsman is very nice and is a wonderful price for beginners. Not bad for a mass produced product.

on November 17, 2023

Great for learning. The sound quality good. Even a pro who played on it for me sounded great. You get what you pay for.

Far exceeded my expectations. They happily sorted out some issues I had with the bows and I put on a set of Thomastik-Infeld Dominant strings, and now I think it sounds as good as my cousin's expensive music store student violin. More than enough to get me started.

I purchase it for my son to learn on. It is an excellent violin for a beginner or a parent who wants their child to experiment before committing to a more expensive instrument.

on October 27, 2023

Purchased as a first violin as the price was great. Has a very good sound. Had an issue with keeping tuned, after contacting customer service and pushing the tuning plug in, the situation improved. Overall good.

on October 26, 2023

Love it! Great!

Good enough violin for middle aged beginner who has no musical talent, but willing to move through the learning process slowly.

on October 15, 2023

It has been half a year with this violin. It stayed in tune the entire year, needing only minor adjustment from day to day. Probably because it's covered in paint, it was actually very stable against change in climate conditions through out the year, from dry cold winter to wet spring to humid hot summer to dry hot fall. Still beautiful. and sounds good!

on October 06, 2023

I'm new to the violin. I was very happy with the kit. Its beautiful and perfect priceor someone who's wanting to learn to play.

on September 27, 2023

Can't wait to learn how to play it! It's so beautiful!

on September 19, 2023

An unbelievably good violin and package for the price. If you're unsure, as I was, of whether your child will devote the time and effort into learning violin, there's no better way to find out without risking a ton of money. This is more than adequate in my opinion.

Works perfectly for our 13yo

Even though I'm a firm believer in 'you get what you pay for', I'm rather impressed with this deal. I feel you get a little more than you pay for with this instrument, considering what we paid for her concert violin.

on September 04, 2023

A good violin for beginners and the likes. Obviously it does produce excellent sound.

on August 26, 2023

Did a bit of research and decided this was the best least expensive violin out there. This is my first violin, and figured I can't screw this one up and I can only go up in quality from here if I stick with it. A little hard to tune for me, but once you get it right, the sound is perfect.

on August 25, 2023

5 star. Had returned the first one for some minor issues, but the second one was sent and arrived in perfect condition. Works great!

on August 17, 2023

It is as same as it was described.

on August 13, 2023

It is decent for the price. The finish was dirty when they put the finish on it so the top has dirt under the finish which makes it look bad. The tuner seems to work good. The bridge took me several times to get it close to playing fair. Best to take it to a shop and have them set it up. Im retired so i have plenty of time.

on August 13, 2023

I have had it for almost half year now, and it is still amazing! I highly recommend to anyone interested in the violin as a beginner as it is a good starter instrument, and not really professional for contests or anything. It still has really good quality for the price, and is still as shiny as it was when I first opened it.

Bought it for a Great Grand son, he loves it and is teaching himself, and loves the case also! Very nice, thank you for high quality violin!
