The is a good quality violin for a reasonable price. The case is also very nice. My case interior is blue instead of burgundy - i don't really care - it is just as nice. It is worth the price.

Cremona SV-150 Premier Student Violin, 1/4-Size Review

Bought this directly from Amazon (who has the best price for 1/4 size), was expecting it not set up. seemed decently packed, but one of the screw tuners had fallen out, found it in case and rescrewed it in. It is very easy to install the bridge yourself (youtube videos). Violin seems of very decent quality, good finishings, nothing looking rough, unfinished, or crude. Bow works well. It comes with a beautiful case with built-in hygrometer. I am waiting to see how the pegs and strings settle in and hold tune.
I was considering buying a used instrument of higher quality from ebay or locally, but now that I have this I think this was the right choice. My six-year old who is very serious about starting violin will be so excited to have this bright shiny instrument with very nice finishings. Because it is widely marketed with a known retail price, it will be much easier to sell for about 1/2 price when my child outgrows it. No-name violin will have no value at all in the used market. Even the initial trial rental from a music store, which is usually heavily discounted, will not be as cheap.

The Cremona SV-150 1/4 violin outfit is a fine example of an instrument who's value and quality far surpase its price tag and meet the specific needs of beginning and advancing students. Completeley hand-carved from select solid woods and combined with the new TL-33 Travelite case for durable, yet lightweight protection and a LB-15 Brazilwood bow by J. LaSalle, makes this already perfect outfit one of the best available at this price point!

Cremona SV-130 Premier Novice Violin, 1/4-Size Review

I purchased this violin for my daughter's first violin experience and I didn't want to spent a lot of money because I did not know yet whether or not she would take to the instrument...
It was a very solid choice! It's made well and seems to hold up to the careful treatment of an 8 year old :) I think the sound quality is slightly better than what you would expect for the price (I have been told that all 1/4 size violins have some issues with sound quality simply because of the small size). The bow is very do-able for a beginner instrument and has been very durable - it's putting up with my daughter's somewhat rough rosining technique quite well! The tuning pegs hold a tune well (after a couple of weeks) and the fine tuners work well too. Also, it's a very pretty instrument - a fact that's helping my daughter want to practice.
I was pleasantly surprised at how nice the case was for the price of this instrument. She can throw the violin in the back of the car with the schoolbooks and the groceries and we don't have to worry about it getting crushed.
Bottom line: our violin teacher was concerned when I said I bought a violin online through a seller that also sells everything else. In the end, she has been pleased with our purchase and so have we.

Saga has always been a pioneer when it comes to making quality violins to meet the demands of the growing student market. While focusing primarily on quality and value to meet a specific price point, the new SV-130 1/4 Cremona Premier Novice Series violin was developed. Whether the student is in the earliest stages of the learning process, or well on the way to more advanced training, these violins will perform well beyond the expectation.
