For the money, this is a fantastic value. This is my 2nd violin purchase from Glarry...the first was the Antiqued violin for my daughter. We're both beginners with zero experience who just wanted to give it a try. After the first hour, I enjoyed playing hers so much I decided to get this one just for me. I like the Antiqued violin a little better and recommend that one first if you can afford the few extra dollars--I will go into those details on that product page. Price-wise neither of them can ...

For the money, this is a fantastic value. This is my 2nd violin purchase from Glarry...the first was the Antiqued violin for my daughter. We're both beginners with zero experience who just wanted to give it a try. After the first hour, I enjoyed playing hers so much I decided to get this one just for me. I like the Antiqued violin a little better and recommend that one first if you can afford the few extra dollars--I will go into those details on that product page. Price-wise neither of them can be beat. This is a budget violin so you won't be playing concerts as soon as it arrives, but it will introduce a beginner to the basics at a VERY low entry price, and from there you can see if it's something you want to continue. It does require some set up before it is playable--but so will ANY budget violin. I recommend you watch youtube videos to learn the right way to set it up. They will show you how to set the bridge, tune the strings and rosin the bow. Setting the bridge is very important, so pay extra attention to that. It's not hard, just an important detail.Tuning is difficult the first time because the pegs tend to slip--however I learned this is a common issue for many violins, and certainly for any budget violin, so I assure you your violin is not defective. Some inward pressure when turning the pegs should work just fine, it did for me. Rosin on the pegs is another possible remedy. The fine tuners work well for keeping in tune--check and fine tune each time before you play, I recommend a phone app. All in all, with a little setup effort this is a great violin for a pure beginner, for less than the cost of 2 months of a student rental from a retailer. Shipping was fast, the case is durable, the violin looks good, and all accessories required for play are included. I'm very satisfied with my purchase and I highly recommend this product for anyone remotely interested in learning to play the violin.

I puchased a 1/8 violin for my grandson. It is set up and ready to go. Tuning is a bit of a challenge on a violin so small. Cant really rate it yet as it hasnt been used but was very happy with the price.

Package arrived with everything as promised. You should take their recommendation of taking it to someone knowledgeable to get it setup correctly. Glarry customer service has been responsive and fair in supporting us. Our initial efforts to setup the instrument at home was less than successful, because we failed to spot that the strings were threaded backwards through the pegs. Violin teacher rectified this. The instrument can now hold a tuning. However, the fine tuners do not work and the ...

Package arrived with everything as promised. You should take their recommendation of taking it to someone knowledgeable to get it setup correctly. Glarry customer service has been responsive and fair in supporting us. Our initial efforts to setup the instrument at home was less than successful, because we failed to spot that the strings were threaded backwards through the pegs. Violin teacher rectified this. The instrument can now hold a tuning. However, the fine tuners do not work and the teacher diagnosed it to be that the tailpiece is not fitted onto the instrument properly, so the fine tuners cannot affect the tuning as they should. Glarry resolved this with us in a satisfactory manner, and though it can only be tuned through the pegs, it can be played adequately for a beginner. Overall, I am happy with my purchase and would do it again. Please Note: 1. Likely need to buy a different shoulder rest. Could not get theirs to fit right. 2. Their customer service responds in the evenings typically. I was not able to locate a phone number to call them, so all support was done through email.

Bought this for my 8yo daughter for Christmas. She loves it!

I bought this as a starter violin for my 7-year-old granddaughter, to give her a feel for playing a violin before having the chance to play a vioin at school. She was thrilled with it. I know nothing about violins, but for the price, this wooden violin is perfect. I took it to a music store to be assembled (probably could have done it myself; mostly involved installing the bridge), and musical friend helped tune it. Once we resined the bow sufficiently, she was able to produce sound. The vi ...

Once we resined the bow sufficiently, she was able to produce sound. The violin came with a bow, case, resin, instructions, and pitch pipe for tuning. Great deal. Shipping was a little slow, but it came in time for Christmas.

I love the fact that Glarry provides a full bundle of a product. I don't have to add and look for individual items for my cart, one click and its done. The shipping was fast. The product overall is great but I do have a couple of issues. The pegs do not hold the position, keeps getting loose while tuning. The bridge keeps falling off due to a lack of carves. Overall good product for the price.

Love the violin ❤️ Great price and fast shipping !! I'll be back for a guitar !

by S***n on December 15, 2019

The violin was decent but the bow is horrible and the shoulder rest is non-adjustable. I tried to contact you guys last week but I have heard nothing from you guys concerning this issue. The bow will not loosen or tighten and as i stated earlier the shoulder rest is non adjustable and doesnt fit my violin.

I am absolutely in love with this violin. I bought it for a Christmas present for my goddaughter, I know she will love it. Honestly these sets are perfect beginners. The violin is so beautiful and the bow is perfect. The case feels a bit cheap but it's not about the case. But all together you can't bet the price, I will be ordering more. P.s. shipping was fast too..

by A***o on October 31, 2019

My son started violin lessons yesterday and his teacher said it was good quality and she tuned it easily. He is very excited to have his very own violin! It arrived faster than it said it would too! Such a deal for the price! Thank you!

by H***s on October 19, 2019

This was a gift, so I can't give it an honest or great review without actually seeing the product. The transactions online were easy and I was able to track the shipping.

by M***k on October 13, 2019

It looks like a great instrument, but we have to have the bridge trimmed.

by J***k on September 30, 2019

Thank you for producing such a beautiful beginner instrument. I am so excited to give this violin to my grandson for Christmas. I am excited to see his face as opens his gift!

Good I like it

I did not purchase the 1/8 size. I purchased a full sized 4/4 violin. I am overwhelmed by the quality of this little fiddle. Made of solid wood, the fiddle has a good sound and is easy to play. I had to do a little work on the bridge which was higher than I prefer but that was no big deal. The tailpiece was missing the finetuner for the E string. I could not find it in the case so I swapped the tailpiece for another I had with all four tuners. This changed the sound slightly which I did not care ...

I did not purchase the 1/8 size. I purchased a full sized 4/4 violin. I am overwhelmed by the quality of this little fiddle. Made of solid wood, the fiddle has a good sound and is easy to play. I had to do a little work on the bridge which was higher than I prefer but that was no big deal. The tailpiece was missing the finetuner for the E string. I could not find it in the case so I swapped the tailpiece for another I had with all four tuners. This changed the sound slightly which I did not care for. Lo and behold I found the screw for the finetuner in the case. Must have been stuck somewhere in the case. Now I am considering returning to the original tailpiece as I think it sounded better. The tuning pegs are plastic but they hold with no slippage. I am very impressed with this fiddle. For $34 I got the instrument, a case, a bow, a pitch pipe, rosin cake, extra set of strings, and a shoulder rest. I am just more than pleased. I like this fiddle more than some of my more expensive ones. You might think I am a shill writing this outstanding review, but I assure you, I am not. I would recommend this instrument to anyone interested in trying to play the violin. It's an incredible value for the money. I am seriously considering buying another.
