I feel it is an excellent value and would recommend this package to anyone interested in starting lessons
As you can see from the picture, the spacing between the D string and the A string is quite a bit more than the spacing between the G and D as well as the A and E.
Overall, by all appearances this is a remarkable value and I have no regrets about this purchase
This guy rocks, tunes just fine if you know what your doing
For the price it is a very good quality violin, not only is it gorgeous but the tune is so wonderful, great for those who are looking to upgrade from there biginner violin
The pegs slipped initially but after applying a little pressure to push them in toward the peg box the problem was solved and they have now been keeping their tune very well!
Also, it does not feel like it might fall apart when tuning it (unless you are a careless brute), as I have heard that some of the lowest end violins feel like when they are being tuned
The instrument holds a tune very well and despite playing it for around 2 hours per day, I haven't had to do more than a small adjustment on one or two strings every other day or so

The shoulder rest it comes with is decent, but I would recommend a Kun rest or something similar
But if I have to replace the bridge, get a decent shoulder rest, and get a case that can hold it all correctly, I might as well have gone with a more expensive kit to begin with.
This is a nice 1/2 size starter set that includes everything a kid would need to get started, including a decent shoulder rest, tuner, and music book

Nice quality build, the sound tanks as acceptable to me, but my student seems to really like it

He said it was good quality and he was extremely happy with it!
This is his second violin and he says the sound quality is good.
After reading all of the reviews, I was not quite sure what to expect, but I did not allow myself to expect too much from a modern student violin (in this age of cheaply made products and rock-bottom quality control), so I was pleased when the Cecilio CVN-500 violin turned out to be of better quality than I had allowed myself to expect
Which is great oddly even with the change of strings the D string resonates way louder than any of the others
And while not top shelf, they are decent student strings

It is definitely NOT a toy or a cheap-o, and I can see myself playing it for a long time

I have my own shoulder rest that works better--which means I had to take the chin rest off

It features hand-carved solid spruce top, hand-carved flamed maple back and sides and finished with a beautiful satin antique varnish and inlaid purfling
