Beautiful beginner's instrument!! Quality workmanship and everything a new player needs. My only complaint would be the rosin was pure crumbled chalk but that's an easy fix.

Stings are to close together but overall a good violin

My Glarry GV201 arrived a week after purchase, shipped via FedEx.

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, "This violin is BEAUTIFUL." It looks amazing, all the promised pieces were included and the case is pretty nice too. The tuner isn't bad, took some time to figure out how best to position it and my strings are still being broken in so they don't stay in tune well. I've been told it gets better with use though. Only complaint is that the bridge is not properly shaped - the E string side should be more curved so it's lower on that side. My bridge is only gently curved at all and trying to isolate the D and A strings is a nightmare. I am seriously considering seeking out a luthier to fit a better bridge and to give the fingerboard a once over. From what I can tell, the sounds coming from this violin are bright but not shrill, the bow is decent and didn't need a lot of rosining even the first time trying for a sound. I'm still excited about my purchase!

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.

One piece is a tad small but overall great.
