Cecilio CVN-500 Ebony Antique Finish Flamed 1/2 Size Orchestra Violin with Case and Accessories Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This was my daughter's second instrument, after three years of learning on the first one. Both my wife and I are musicians. I ordered with some trepidation, considering the reviews out there that run the mix of both extremes. I went ahead, considering the shipping was free, so return wouldn't be that costly (the price of return shipping).
We had the violin for almost two years now. All in all, it was definitely worth more than $200. The tone was actually quite good, considering the size (1/2). The instrument came pre-strung, the sound post was in proper place, the bridge was positioned well and shaped correctly, so the strings and fingers had proper distance from the fingerboard. The instrument holds tune remarkably well. Also, the bows were very good and held up throughout all this time, without hairs coming loose. We received an extra set of strings, and none were needed yet.
After two years, my daughter has outgrown this instrument. I ordered a larger size, but from another vendor (a no-name Chinese one for $100), and it was bad. I had just ordered a new Cecilio CVN-500 (same as this one), but the larger size (3/4). I'm hoping it will be as good as our old one was.
About the only thing that was somewhat useless was the tuning pipe. It is a little toy, since it is completely unreliable and almost always off-key (we have a piano at home, which is always properly tuned).
Let me make one thing clear. This is a Chinese made instrument, and it seems that the factory where it is made does not have a bullet-proof quality control. There is a small (but noticeable) percentage of these instruments that leave the factory in rather poor shape. In other words, quality of these violins can apparently be inconsistent. I know two other parents who had Cecilio student violins, and they were quite satisfied with them (and I've seen and heard those instruments, and they were quite good). My personal experience was positive, and I'm hoping my next one will be as well.
Your mileage may vary. Make sure you can return it in time, if something goes wrong.
[follow-up to the original review, now that I've had the new Cecilio for 3 months]:
The new violin is also excellent, like the prior ones. Gentle tone, holds tune well, well-shaped bridge and fingerboard, so it looks like excellent value for money. My previous review still stands.

Cremona SV-130 Premier Novice Violin, 1/16-Size Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)We got this for a Christmas present for our son, who is almost four. Because of the size, I found it difficult to tune and keep in tune, but I had researched beforehand and knew this was an issue with a violin of this size. We wanted something affordable and this model was just a step up from the cheapest ones, so we weren't expecting the best quality instrument. After all, even if we had spent hundreds more, what can you reasonably expect from a 3-1/2-year old and his violin? This quality and priced violin made sense for our situation. So far, my son is thrilled to take out his violin and experiment with making sound. We haven't started him on any lessons just yet, but thus far, we are very pleased with our purchase. It came with a bow, rosin, bridge and zipper-type case. We followed youtube videos on getting set up, so it wasn't too complicated. I am hoping with proper care and instruction that the violin will last until he needs the next size.

Barcelona Orchestra Approved 5 Series 1/2 Size Student Violin with Case and Accessories Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought the violin for my son. When it arrive, the wooden bridge piece was not installed. I am not a musician so I had to figure out how to install the bridge. It won't stay upright with the pressure from the string. Maybe the bright is too narrow. A slight movement of string will knock it down. I couldn't get the bright piece to stay upright for an hour of trying with the string pressure and I finally gave up. I finally put some glue on the bottom of the bridge and able to hold it down. However, the music teacher told my son that is a no-no. You cannot glue the bridge piece. Barcelon should pre-install the bridge to reduce such a problem. I am not sure even the music teacher can make the bridge stay without glue. The violin is otherwise a decent quality and the case is nice.

Cecilio CVN-100 Rosewood 1/4 Size Violin with Case and Accessories Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a pretty good instrument to get a child started playing without having to worry about spending a lot of money on something they may put in their closet after a month or two. The sound quality is really pretty poor, so if the child really takes an interest in playing they may become discouraged by the sound quality, and you'll probably want to get a better quality one. Overall, it is something for a child to get their feet wet and see if they enjoy playing. Don't expect that great of sound quality though.

Cremona SV-175 Premier Student Violin, 1/10-Size Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)We purchased this violin for our 3-year-old daughter. She is now 4. She is doing well with this violin. The stings were replaced with Thomastik Dominant Violin Strings. This improved the sound quality nicely. Very pleased with the violin and would suggest this violin, yet the strings that come with the violin are not the best quality. Yet, lets be realistic. There is [almost] no violin in this price range, and this size that will come with anything but the least expensive strings. A little up grade on the strings and you will have a violin that you will be pleased with. The structure and construction of the violin is completed well. The finish is fine. The pegs, fingerboard, body, and wood quality are of good quality materials. The fine tuners work well. Very pleased for this price. Went to local brick and mortar music stores and they wanted about $500 - $600 for the same or similar instrument. I would suggest this violin and give it a positive review.

ViolinSmart 4/4 Full Size Student Violin w/Bow, Case, and Rosin - Solid Red Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Purchased this item two months ago. Within 1 week I had to replace a peg that broke in two while tuning it. Then yesterday I opened the case to find that the end pin broke, causing the tailpiece to go flying, rendering the instrument useless. In essence, I got two months of use out of it. To repair it will cost three times the purchase price. It would have been cheaper to rent a quality instrument. Although the red lacquer makes for an attractive instrument,the sound quality was poor. So save yourself grief and go to your local music store and rent a quality instrument.

Palatino Allegro Violin Outfit ¼ Size, with featherweigt case, Ebony Frog Bow, and Ebony Fittings Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This review is for the full size 4/4 Palatino NV-450. I'm addressing some unfair negative reviews posted regarding the smaller size (1/4) of this same instrument.
Ok the first negative review is by someone who admits to not even having touched one himself. The second, I think isin't being fair.
Look, this is a beginners instrument. I bought this with 0 hours of experience playing the violin (at age 26 by the way). I bought this and started lessions with a highly reputed teacher located in the area of Berklee College of Music in Boston. The teacher had nothing but positive comments about the instrument.
It's solid spruce and maple and the pegs, fingerboard and chinrest are solid ebony. That's essentially what teachers are looking for in a student instrument. No violin "holds it's tune". That's why there's tuning pegs and fine tuners (this instrument has 4 fine tuners by the way really helping the student get accustomed to tuning). All good accoustic violins are made of wood and as such are subject to expansion and contraction in changing temperature and humidity conditions. When the wood contracts a bit, the pegs can become loose and require retuning, some peg drops can help reduce this but not eliminate it. The bridge is an average stock bridge. A student looking for an entry level instrument (like myself) hasn't often the money nor time to consult and hire a luthier to custom shave and fine tune thier bridge. I find the bridge that comes with this instrument, in it's stock condition carries the vibration from the strings to the body effectively and actually quite loud.
I will agree however that the bow it comes with has warped slightly and I'm looking for a replacement now. But heck, after two years with this instrument and a couple of sets of replacement strings, I'm more than happy with it's performance.
It's not a $10,000 violin, and doesn't claim to be. It's an entry level student voilin that I only spent about $150 on a couple years ago and have progressed quite a long way on.

Full Size 4/4 Ebony Fitted Acoustic Electric Violin Complete Set - Natural Color Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)First of all, no paperwork came with the shipment. Nothing -- no shipping paper, no instruction/product information (this was supposed to be an electric violin but came with no adoptor, cord, earphone, etc.).
As soon as I tried to tune the instrument, one of the strings came loose. Upon inspection, I noticed that the peg hole was not drilled through and the string was originally just wrapped around the peg (that was why it came loose) -- we had to drill a hole into the peg to make it work. We had other issues with the instruments.
Emailed the vendor asking for assistance -- received no response.
Do not recommend this product -- bad craftmanship and bad service.

This Natural Color Electric Violin is ideal for the budding musician. It includes free Carrying Case, Rosin, and Bow.It features spruce front, maple back and sides, ebony fingerboard, and jojube wood pegs. It comes with a product guide. Here are some hints to help keep your violin in tune: 1. Although the violins come with a bridge, it is not installed. Installing a bridge is not difficult, but if you have a problem, please email us. The bridge has to be installed for the violin to play correctly. 2. Strings do tend to slip and lose their tune on a new violin because they need to stretch. If this happens, just give it time. The strings just need time to settle in. 3. If the violin pegs keep slipping, try to push the peg in while turning it. If they still dont stay in, peg drops are available at most music stores. They are relatively inexpensive and should help the pegs stay in. 4. If a strand of hair breaks on the bow, take a pair of nail clippers and cut it from the frog (bottom of the bow) or the top of the bow. A few hairs are bound to fall out with play. Remember to rub a little rosin (included) on the bow before playing. This is a great violin to get started with. And at this price it is an unbeatable value.
