Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I have had this violin for 3 days now for my 4 year old and it is much better than I expected. I learned the violin as a child and even played in an orchestra in high school and can play reasonably well now...though nowhere near pro level, but certainly well enough to get him started. I have had a violin for years and he has consistently shown interest in mine, so I thought I'd get him something that he can play around with that will fit him. Well this one was much better than I expected for $60! The sound is decent (I was expecting something horrible based on some online reviews, so it was much better than I expected), especially considering he'll be growing out of it in a couple of years. And the case is nice...it even comes with a tuner and the case has backpack straps. It wasn't difficult to install the bridge...quite easy. The pegs did slip out of place a lot at first when trying to tune it, but you just have to push it in harder. The next morning it was still reasonably in tune, so it didn't slip much overnight. You have to rosin the bow A LOT. They supply starter rosin but you'll need to take a knife and carve it up to apply the rosin better. My son has asked me to play several times a day so far. I have ordered some books and will start out teaching him the basics myself. If he continues to take to it like this I will start him in lessons when he's 5 or so. And if he doesn't take to it...no big deal, it was just $60. But if he does take well to it I will spend more on the next violin to get one that sounds really good so he won't get used to the $60 sound. But it perfectly meets our needs for now. I would give it a 5 but I've only had it a few days, so let's see how it lasts over the next year.
