Cecilio CVN-100 1/2 Size Rosewood Violin Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)When I first opened the case, I was a little worried that I may have bought a piece of junk. My initial thoughts were - this is a little too light, it won't hold a tune and it just feels cheap. Once my daughter's violin instructor looked it over and tuned it for me, she gave her thumbs up and said it's a great beginner violin, especially for the little amount that it costs. With the right amount of pressure on the pegs, it holds its tune just fine.

Jade L'Opera JADE Rosin for Violin, Viola, and Cello Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My suggestions to parents who have kids who play violin:
1. as they get older, get them a good quality instrument. Rent one, don't buy one - the rentals are so much better quality than what you'd probably budget for. I am currently renting a better-quality instrument than I played as a teen - as a child I guess it doesn't matter, but as I got older, a better instrument would have been nice.
2. get them a good quality rosin. As an adult I have come to appreciate spending alittle more money for things that are worth it - and this rosin is one of them...to a certain point. I got tis exact rosin for $10.86 and although that is about 10x more than I'd have ever expected to pay for rosin, I think the results are well-worth it. (although after I posted my raving review the price hovered at $16-$17 for it, which i think is HORRIBLE. I'm morally opposed to buying more of this rosin until the prices goes back down!!!!
3. get them a couple private lessons from a teacher who cares. and believes in them.
This is why I like this rosin:
1. The higher quality makes the bow stick better to the strings
2. overall it helped produce a nicer tone ( I changed just the rosin, not the violin. I used the regular free rosin that the rental company gave me for a little while, then decided to try this rosin. so only the rosin has changed, not the quality of the violin)
However:
1. It does give off a lot of dust - i don't know if this amount is typical of higher-quality rosins, but I find myself cleaning more off my strings and violin at the end of my sessions now.
2. I do find that it wears off surprisingly quickly. Let's say I practice a little over an hour, I might re-apply once or twice. I can't remember that clearly but I think when I was younger and playing in the orchestra, I don't know that I even re-applied the rosin during a performance, which would be about that same amount of time. But 1)maybe my memory fails me and 2) maybe the lesser the quailty rosin the more it sticks to the bow and not the strings or 3) maybe I was just not that into playing that I didn't care enough to re-apply.
Overall: This rosin impressed me. I really think it changed the sound that was coming out of the instrument. It inspired me to start recording myself and send to my parents, who were thrilled that all those years of pestering me to 'practice my violin' have finally come to fruition.

Cremona SV-75 Premier Novice Violin, 1/4-Size Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My grand daughter loves her violin, and we adults think it is very pretty. The instrument does not arrive "set up", but we were able to have a musician at a local music shop set it up for $10. Prices for this service may vary, so call for prices before you buy the violin if that additional cost is a concern for you. (Set up includes installing the bridge, which is not attached to the violin but is held in place by the strings; positioning the sound post, which is not attached but is inside the box and held in place by the top and bottom panels; rosining the bow, and tuning the violin.) In closing, may I just say that y'all don't know how difficult it was for me to call this a violin and not a fiddle.

Crystalcello MV100 1/2 Size Violin with Case + Bow + Accessories - Natural Color Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I got my 4 year old this violin for Christmas thinking it would be a cute gift. I didn't really have high expectations other than I knew that I didn't want a plastic "toy". The violin is amazing! It is well crafted- all wooden frame and body with real bow. The case makes it easy for her to carry and care for. My daughter loves it and she is actually able to "play" it. She sounds like a little musician. It was well worth the cost- you can't even get a toy violin for the same price. I highly recommend this to anyone who has a child interested in playing the violin.

String Swing CC08 Music Stand Violin Hanger Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I live in an appartment so don't like to poke too many hole on the wall to hang stuff. I love this Sting Swing Music stand holder. It is very sturdy and safe to tighten onto the music stand (I recommend finger tight and leave the plastic over on the screw). I left my violin out all the time so I can quickly get to it for practice anytime. quickly hang the violin and bow for taking a break. You can take it with you to orchestra practiceand hang your violin during break, but it would be hard to turn pages.
