Don t Listen - To the people who rated this thing 1 and 2 stars, they are probably very advanced players to begin with... i am a beginner, i haven t been playing that long and i have to say this was the perfect fiddle for me. it sounds great and everything, there is just one complaint i have, when i opened the case for the first time and took the bow out, a whole bunch of strands of hair were broke off the bow, and the bow isn t that great either, im gonna just buy another bow. But as for the fiddle itself i am highly satisfied.
This Cost Me More - I ordered this product for myself on a Sunday night and received on Thursday, however, although their were no instructions to installed the bridge,it wasn t hard to google instructions violin bridge. The bridge wasn t the correct size, the proper cutouts did not fit the notches of the instrument. Yes, this is a bargain!! agreeablely so, the strings are undeniable CHEAP and broke on me the first night during tuning,the Rosin came in pieces and the screws on the tailpiece were jammed. So before I could enjoy, music I had to first achieve sound, I took my new beautiful violin to a local violin repair shop, I had the strings, bridge, rosin and the tailpiece replaced, the cost including tuning and labor $120. So this bargain ended costing me the price as if I bought it in the local music store.
Horrible Condition - I recieved my violin today for my daughter. I read the reviews on this product and I was really in the middle. Well after recieving a broken violin today I am convinced that I should have gone done to the local music store and rented one. It was horrible, light wieght - yeah like 8 oz, not 8 lbs. I think that is why it showed up broken. The strings will not stay tight, the neck was broken, the chin rest was broken and the back had a long split. I was horrified. I buy a lot online and this is the first time I have felt I was taken. I am trying to return the product now.
rawr - I took my time and picked out a cheap violin to fool around with and this looked like a good deal. I even paid attention to when everyone said that you need to be careful with the strings and all that jazz BUT the stupid things snapped...twice and I even had the music store tune it after I broke the first string and he snapped 2 more while I was standing there. Im just annoyed with it, maybe it was just mine but...rawr.
Teacher says, AVOID AT ALL COSTS! - Please, please, please, if your child is interested in violin, do not think you are going to do him/her any favors or save yourself any money by getting a $50 instrument off the internet.Go to your local music store. They will rent you a MUCH BETTER INSTRUMENT for the low low price of about $15/month. Most have specials where the first few months are $5 each. Then, if your kid likes it, they have a GOOD quality instrument to play which will encourage them to keep playing. Poor quality instruments are difficult to play. Heck, I ve been at it over 20 years and I can t get a decent sound out of a $50 violin. You can t expect a beginner to, either! :(If your kid hates it, then you re out $15 instead of $50. I saved you money! :)Thank me later!
