, I've not had a cheap instrument before.

At 6 months in I went to a violin shop, heard how much better expensive instruments sounded and bought a $700 violin.

Like all things new, the instrument needs to be "broken in

We select this item to learn, practice and may be so good instrument to play in the future

I was concerned that the electronics would be poor, but I was amazed how good the instrument sounds when mixed through our system.

I was truly surprised by how well this instrument performed for such a low

It's not a hardshell case, but it's solid enough that I feel the instrument is well protected for lugging around from place to place

she broke one the first day with little effort, and the instrument still smelled like the paint shop

It doesn't sound like a high end or even mid range violin, but it's a good starter instrument

This is a really beautiful instrument with a good sound

This is a great instrument for the price

It's been a good learning instrument for him.

First, the instrument looks beautiful and comes with everything you need safe and sound in it's own case

I replaced mine with Pirastro Tonica strings and got an amazing sound for such an inexpensive instrument.

Like all things new, the instrument needs to be "broken in

6 months further on now and a lot of my sound problems that frustrated me into buying the better instrument aren't really there anymore when I got back and play this one.

The inside is felt lined with a hard shell with a separate felt blanket cover to protect the instrument

But I love it instrument.

This was a perfect instrument at an even better price

It's a very pretty instrument too, with some nice "pearl" inlay work done.

Not sure if I just got a faulty instrument or what

Once it's tuned, then it's a pretty good practice instrument

The E string broke after a few plucks
