Cecilio CVN-100 Rosewood 1/16 Size Violin with Case and Accessories Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)These cheap Chinese made violins look OK opening the box, but they're strictly beginner's material. My daughters needed to upgrade after 1 year, and the supposedly higher-grade models are absolutely no better.
The other reviews I read here look suspicious -- seller or manufacturer padding??
Take your chances on one of these if you want, but read the return policy VERY carefully.

Crystalcello MV100 1/10 Size Violin with Case + Bow + Accessories - Natural Color Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This violin has everything one would hope for in a beginning instrument for a small child -- passable tone, decent quality of violin and bow (and real horsehair, which is better than many beginning instruments), and a great price that keeps you from outright panic every time your little student looks like s/he's about to drop the violin onto the floor.
The case is extremely cheap and rather flimsy styrofoam that dents under finger pressure. A slight upgrade would not be a terrible idea since it'll be in the hands of small kids. The thin cardboard on the outside of the rosin held on for only about a week before needing to be glued back on, but the rosin itself is fine. The shoulder rest is absolutely NOT for a 1/10 size and barely fits my daughter's 1/2 size, so you'll need to get one separately or use the old sponge & rubberband combo.
All in all, though, the old adage that you get what you pay for applies here, and this package includes almost everything you'll need to get a little violinist started for an extremely reasonable price so you can save the big money for when they start playing concertos.

Crystalcello MV100 1/16 Size Violin with Carrying Case + Bow + Accessories - Natural Color Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Good product considering the price. One of the tuning pegs would not stay, the string would never tighten completely. Within a week the peg broke while we were trying to get it to stay. However, we (the parents) are not experienced with violins and accept the possibility that we may not have been interpreting the directions correctly. Also, we did not attempt to contact the seller for a replacement, so I cannot comment on how they might respond to such a request. The remainder of the pegs work fine. The one major complaint I have is that the violin took a very long time to arrive; they did announce that there may be a delay, hopefully this was just a temporary problem.

(More customer reviews)Great little fiddle for little hands. I wish the hair on the bow was a little better, but overall if your looking for a nice "beginner" and I mean "beginner" fiddle (between 2 and 3 years old this is perfect! Nice case and it's a pretty little thing, you can start with the very basic's on this fiddle for little hands. Holding the bow and how to hold the fiddle. And if you can keep the bow rosened the sound is ok. Nice purchase and I will buy the next size up when time!!!! Nice for the price!
