Knilling Bucharest Model 3/4 Violin Outfit (Perfection Pegs, Thermoplastic Case, Glasser Fiberglass Bow) Review

My daughter started piano in the 3rd grade with private lessons every week and intensive practice. This past September, she added weekly Saxophone lessons but constantly played with an old violin I'd bought in China. She indicated she wanted to learn violin. What's especially important with any instrument, is that it's a quality instrument. With so many cheap violins out there that look attractive, they are horrible for beginners as the young student has to constantly tune them. What's great about this Romanian made violin is that it's quality is mind boggling. It actually stays in tune for days at a time. The other aspect is that so many parents fail to measure a child's arm. For my daughter, the 3/4 size will likely last for at least 3 years. Oh, I forgot to mention the sound of this violin... it's nearly perfect.

Bobelock Half Moon 1047 Black/Wine 4/4 Violin Case Review

Bobelock Half Moon 1047 Black/Wine 4/4 Violin Case
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I ordered this as a Christmas present for my 11 year old violinist son who just graduated to a full size violin. This is a good, decent product, as advertised -- nothing fancy about it. It's a suspension case that comes with a hygrometer, humistat, string tube (wasn't in the advertisement), two bow holders, velcro neck restraint, blanket and accessory pocket inside the canvas outer music pocket. It's a lot lighter than my son's previous case, so that's a plus. I ordered the Bobelock's backpack style V-Strap separately, because I know my son would love it. It should have come with the case, though.

When I got this violin it was beautiful, but when I tightened the bow, it bent into an arche! When you get this violin, check for shipping damage and check the bow, tighten it immediately. When I got a new bow this violin played so BEAUTIFULLY! I recommend it to people who don't mind fixing a few little repairs.

It looks wonderful. However the bridges needed to be recut and the nut was so off that the D string plays sour. I contacted seller, and they told me to 'get it looked at by a music store' and not send it back.

Bought this as a Christmas gift for my 15 year-old son. He loves it. Great buy for all the components that come with the purchase. And when it was delivered, it was the size of a coffin. And just as heavy. But yet, the shipping was free. I LOVE YOU AMAZON. My biggest pet peeve is paying for shipping.

Corelli Alliance Vivace 4/4 Violin String Set Medium with loop E Review

Corelli Alliance Vivace 4/4 Violin String Set Medium with loop E
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Keep in mind I am a beginner violinist so I have not used a large variety of different strings. I bought these because they were positively reviewed against a few popular, much higher priced strings. I cannot confirm these reviews, however, these strings are much more powerful and responsive than others in this price range.

Corelli Alliance Vivace by Savare are possibly the best synthetic core strings on the market. Corelli Alliance strings provide the warmth of gut along with great projection and stability.
