(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.
