Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I just received this outfit today. Here are my first impressions:
Looks: The violin has a nice antique finish. The sides and back are nicely flamed. It looks like it is a much more expensive unit. It seems to be built well - I don't have to worry about the back splitting in half at some point.
Sound: The strings that come with are satisfactory, but I would recommend replacing them with some Dominants. The original strings sound good once you rosin the bow for about five minutes (see below), but they are still not very responsive. The violin holds its tune well.
Accessories: This unit comes with two bows. The product description says they are real wood, but they sure do feel a lot like plastic. You really have to rosin them up forever before they will produce any sound. I would suggest buying a half decent bow for thirty bucks at the local music shop. I would also replace the rosin that comes with, as it seems to be a bit "dried out". The extra bridge and pitch pipes are a bonus. The case is surprisingly nice and protects the instrument well.
Overall, I don't think you can beat the price for this unit. If you are willing to replace the strings and bow for an extra sixty dollars, this outfit will still be much cheaper than others on the market. It is a great value for the price.
