First Act MCV61 Concert Series Violin with Case Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I give the First Act Concert Series Violin five stars based on quality and price. It is perfect for school music programs. First Act should be commended for designing instruments that are affordable for average families. The critics must realize that this allows children to learn to play an instrument who may not have been able to otherwise. It is a beautiful, well crafted instrument for the cost. My daughter is proud to own her violin and I don't have to deal with the hassle of renting. If she becomes highly skilled at playing the violin, then we will discuss paying top dollar for one. Until then, her First Act violin is perfect while she's still in elementary school.

This exquisitely crafted, hand carved 4/4 size violin is based on the "Emiliani" Stradivarius model of 1724. Ebony appointments and factory fit bridge and tailpiece maintain the meticulous details required for perfect intonation, playability and rich sound projection. The brown stain and translucent finish highlight the tight grain of the spruce top and natural flame on the maple back & ribs. Inlaid purfling completes the professional quality of this violin. Students ready for a full sized violin will not find a finer outfit, complete with oblong case, rosin, extra strings, and genuine horse hair brazilwood bow. Includes First Act's instructional DVD demonstrating proper set-up and tuning to aid new players. The lifetime manufacturer's limited warranty covers parts and labor.

(More customer reviews)I thought I'd save some money with these strings, but they are so lifeless
that I'm taking them off. Don't waste your money; you get what you pay for.

Bowmaster for Violin or Viola, Medium by Super Sensitive Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My son's violin teacher seemed to have to remind my son to "fix" his bow grip throughout his lesson. I saw this product and it seemed like it would be worth a try. At today's lesson his teacher was so impressed that she is going to make it a requirement that all of her students get one.

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.

Super Sensitive Super Sensitive Steelcore 4/4 Violin Strings: Set Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Unless the strings are for a very young player and ease of playing is an issue, I would not recommend them. Red Labels are not capable of producing the tone or timbre that is typically associated with the violin, instead it produces a relatively bright sound reminiscent of acoustic flat top guitar. Though the brightness diminishes with time, a string with broader tonal qualities would be more If you can afford it, try one tier up from these strings, something that's truly "flat-wound". Keep in mind that Red Label strings might actually be quite appropriate for very young players who would benefit from a string that facilitates easy and consistent production of sound from the instrument; violin is a difficult instrument for adults, much more so for kids! I would add that the price is relatively low and therefore appropriate for early ages, where commitment has not yet been established or where budget is a factor. Have fun!

Violin Wall Chart by Martin Norgaard Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This chart would be a great addition to teachers room and an easy way to learn. It is pretty big which I didn't know when I first bought it since I thought it was a little chart. It has the parts of the violin along with notes and fingerboard notes as well. I used this to learn and I am just beginner and picked up on it easily so I know it would be a great addition to a teacher.

Glaesel Violin Ultra Practice Mute Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I am a beginner, and this mute seems to do a fine job in decreasing the volume of my mistakes :) It is very easy to use. The material is firm but very soft so I do not have to worry about damaging the bridge ( I was a bit apprehensive about using a nickel or gold plated mute). The mute fits very well on a 4/4 violin and does will not fall off even if you shake the instrument upside down (not sure why anyone would but isn't it nice to know?). Since it seems over-sized I am sure it would fit on any smaller violin as well.
I only wish it would mute to an even lower volume.

This Heavy Rubber 4/4 Violin Practice Mute provides a high level of muting while preserving more tone quality than the metal variety. It greatly reduces volume for apartment and late night practicing. Lightweight and safe. Five-prong.
