For a violin that was shipped via FedEx, and with everything you will need for $50, I am giving this 5-stars. When I ordered this violin, I was expecting a $50 violin, but I can see something like this costing more like $150. Sure, it's nowhere near perfect. On mine, the fingerboard isn't fully glued to the instrument, but it's staying put, and no rattling or buzzing. I can fix it, but it's fine. The bow is working fine. The rosin was all cracked up, and it's hard to open the little contai ...

On mine, the fingerboard isn't fully glued to the instrument, but it's staying put, and no rattling or buzzing. I can fix it, but it's fine. The bow is working fine. The rosin was all cracked up, and it's hard to open the little container it came in, so I just purchased a new piece of rosin. Otherwise, everything else works. The instrument is very playable. My sister is an orchestra teacher, and she commented that, while it will always be an inexpensive student violin, it sounds decent. She mentioned that if I purchased a Glasser fiberglass bow for it, I should be fine using it to teach myself to play. I already play the Mandolin, so transitioning to the fiddle is actually an easy transition. I purchased this from Glarry after watching some online videos and comparisons. Also, I wasn't sure if I'd like the fiddle as I've never tried one (I refuse to touch my sister's $15k violin), but this has convinced me to pursue the fiddle, and I will be looking at a better instrument once I am more comfortable playing. This instrument will be given to a budding musician after I replace it. This fiddle was well worth more than what I paid for it. Thank you Glarry for selling affordable instruments that are not junk.

I bought a violin from a local music store for my first violin lesson, but the teacher told me to return it. So, I rented a violin for one month from another music store at $36 which was almost the price of my new Glarry Violin that I bought online. Since I heard horror stories about buying things online, I never bought an instrument online before, so I was very reluctant to try. However, it arrived a day earlier than expected with a complete outfit of case, bow, resin, chin rest, shoulder rest ...

However, it arrived a day earlier than expected with a complete outfit of case, bow, resin, chin rest, shoulder rest plus a tuner and an extra set of strings. The teacher set it up and now I'm playing it, yet it only cost $56.98 (including shipping insurance). I don't see how a beginner can do any better than that unless someone gives them a violin for free.

Very satisfied with this violin and I highly recommend! I bought both this model and the Solid Wood violin from Glarry Music. I recommend this one over the solid wood primarily because this one has a spruce top, which is a better tonewood for violins. It produces a slightly warmer sound to my ear. The finish on this one is gorgeous, too! Shipping was fast, the case is durable, the violin arrived in great shape and looking good, and all accessories required for play were included. For the price, ...

It is beautiful and it is way better than the one I got from another place. Everything is just like described I can't wait to try it out. I was informed of this deal from the Hillary Klug Video and if she likes it I'm willing to try it . Thanks again

I was skeptical if I could buy a decent violin for 50$ but Glarry pulled through and made it happen! Along with everything you need to get started! I am highly satisfied with my order and would recommend to anyone who is looking to start playing violin! 5 stars!

My Glarry GV201 arrived a week after purchase, shipped via FedEx. I looked at a lot of inexpensive violins prior to choosing this one and read a lot of horror stories about what arrived......upon unboxing, my first thought was,

Great instrument! My son loves his new violin thank you to Glarry music. It was pristine and just as show. The fact that he could tune it himself was great as well. Just wish it didnt take so long plus I paid to rush it.

The Violin itself seems decent but the bow i recieved is going bald and a piece at the base is broken and won't tighten completely so I cant really play. I have emailed customer service asking for a replacement and so far no reply. Hopefully they will get back to me.

by L***n on September 03, 2020

The instrument is very good looking in my opinion as well as the accessories, but I was very disappointed at the fact that my bow is broken or doesn't work. When I screw to tighten the frog the bow rises like a rainbow and does not tighten the hair.

Violin is fine, but it's not explained the bridge must be carefully prepared. That's normal but few new players know it. It took me most of a full day to find the information and set up the instrument decently. You need to include instruction which explain the strings at nut should be carefully placed 16mm G to E, and 33mm on the bridge. The bridge feet must be carefully shaped to fit the body. String height at end of fretboard should be G 5.5mm to E 3.5mm, which is done by carving or sanding a ...

Violin is fine, but it's not explained the bridge must be carefully prepared. That's normal but few new players know it. It took me most of a full day to find the information and set up the instrument decently. You need to include instruction which explain the strings at nut should be carefully placed 16mm G to E, and 33mm on the bridge. The bridge feet must be carefully shaped to fit the body. String height at end of fretboard should be G 5.5mm to E 3.5mm, which is done by carving or sanding a curve on the bridge top. Curve is from 43mm radius. You should include a simple template in card stock for this. Because I didn't understand this at first, the strings scared my nut in bad locations. Please know many of your customers are totally unaware and have no teacher, but want to play. A decent setup will take a non-pro at least 3 hours----after they learn what they need to do. Glarry: hire a luthier to make a special instruction sheet for all this with household tools, and include this with your violins. Good value, very poor information.

They play and sound very good to me, and I've been playing a long time.

Wow I have to say that I don't know anything about a Violin. I've been a drummer for 50 yrs. Wanted to try something completely different. It came Fedex, wow for $50 and everything is included. Looks really nice. Starting to set it up now. Can't wait to learn how to play this instrument. Thank you Glarry Music for having me be able to do this. Highly recommend this company.

The violin arrived last Thursday and I can't stop playing it. I still can't believe that I paid $50 for my violin with all the accessories that comes with it and not to mention the free shipping.. I'm a total beginner and I've been wanting to play the violin since I was in grade school and Now I'm 22 years old. I saw Glarrymusic.com and found this violin! Thank you Glarry for making affordable violin with a decent quality.

Good violin

by R***y on January 28, 2020

I was happy overall with the purchase. Unfortunately the bow broke at the tip while applying the rosin. Using a different bow I was able to play the violinwhich head a nice sound.

by E***n on January 24, 2020

I actually got this for my 5 year old, but the 3/4 size is a bit large for him. However, he loves it, and the quality is great for the price. I enjoy playing it as well! It is just the right size for me, so I'm considering getting him a 1/4 size and keeping this 3/4 one for myself!

by P***n on January 15, 2020

Although it is absolutely beautiful there were a few small issues. The instruction that came with it need to be more explanatory. While they give you a brief idea of how to assemble the violin they do not explain how to place the bridge, use the tuning pegs, and setup the bow well enough for someone who has never picked one up. The case and all other parts and accessories are fantastic for beginners. The digital tuner needs instructions though.

by B***r on December 27, 2019

Wow really nice violin especially for the price. Will definitely purchase other items from Glarry Music.

by A***h on December 22, 2019

I bought the instruments for beginning students. For the money you can't beat it. It's ideal to keep cost low and see if they really are serious about learning.

by K***m on November 21, 2019

Pegs were not good and the top of the fingerboard wasn't good either. Strings too close together. Had to push to get a return. Took a few weeks to finally get a return. Maybe their other instruments are good but this was not.

by B***n on November 17, 2019

Fast shipping, pretty nice ,took a little while to tune bit sounds good

by n***i on November 05, 2019

Just needed to be set up,very happy.

by K***h on October 27, 2019

Absolutely stunning beautiful.... Just what Beethoven ordered for my darling Niece! Praying it sounds as good as it looks!

by R***o on October 18, 2019

One piece is a tad small but overall great.

by M***y on October 16, 2019

I love the color, and it has a nice tone when you play it. Very good for the price, and great for a beginner or someone learning to play again.

by p***e on October 16, 2019

It looks great hopefully it sounds as good as it looks I haven't had a chance to use it yet but it is a very nice looking Fiddle

by H***d on October 11, 2019

Very Fast shipping. Great violin I love it. Great customer service. Thank you

Can't be beat for the price, I recommend. Not for pros, but anything else, it may do the job.
