Very cheap and almost impossible to tune properly. But it was just over 30 quid with 10% off on black Friday which is amazing for everything that is included. More ornamental than playable but for the price I thought, what the heck.

Very nice instrument. Great value for a beginner.

This is my first time playing the violin and I love it! Good quality for the beginners !

My child's teacher says the instrument sounds good, and we are impressed with all that comes with the instrument for the price. That says, there are a couple of negatives: 1) The screw that should thread into nut inside the frog of the bow was stripped such that the bow would not tighten. I worked around the problem by threading a thin piece of elastic jewelry cord through the nut before inserting the screw. 2) I might have misunderstood, but I expected four fine tuners, as the pictures showed ...

I haven't tried to change them out yet. All in all, I'm still pleased with the instrument and extras for the price, though I would appreciate a replacement bow.

I debated over buying this for a while before I finally gave in and I'm so excited I did! It was here within three days which was awesome! I'm a first time violin player so it was a little tricky to put together and tune and everything but I think I got the hang of it. It's beautiful and has (as far as I can tell) clear enough sound quality. Nothing is broken or scratched, and I think the light packing is fine since it's in its case too. The only thing is, like other reviewers have said, you de ...

I debated over buying this for a while before I finally gave in and I'm so excited I did! It was here within three days which was awesome! I'm a first time violin player so it was a little tricky to put together and tune and everything but I think I got the hang of it. It's beautiful and has (as far as I can tell) clear enough sound quality. Nothing is broken or scratched, and I think the light packing is fine since it's in its case too. The only thing is, like other reviewers have said, you definitely get what you pay for. It only came with a fine tuner on one string so the others will never sound just right, and as soon as I started to put the rosin on the bow a string fell out of that (though it was only one so it's totally fine). The violin itself is great except for a few details; there's a little bit of glue misplaced on the fingerboard, and the back of the neck is a completely different color (for some reason???), but it's nothing that I think will affect learning to play. All in all, it's perfect for a beginner. I'm 22 (so I got a 4/4) and just wanted to pick up a new hobby. Everything to get you started is here and in working order, plus it came with handy directions. If you're looking for perfection, maybe go a little higher quality, but if you're a newbie like me, you seriously won't find a better deal.

The product came as it was displayed in the web and it arrived in time, but three horse tail hairs were loose in the bow and dangling from one end.
