The strings were tinny, so a friend replaced them with warmer sounding strings

The D'Addario strings sound wonderful on this

(We have owned the first for over 3 years) and they have good sound.

It's looks are fantastic to us and the sound is superb for such a low cost violin

The luthier stated that this is a good violin for the price, and has a very nice sound

I finally ordered an Evah Pirazzi E string and it tuned and played instantly with great sound

The fingerboard is very good on this violin and the strings are easy to press without getting ugly sounds (except my inexperienced intonation!

I cannot vouch for the quality of wood itself, but the instrument does produce a beautiful sound

The sound from the Cecilio is on the bright and metallic side, but not scratchy.

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

For the price this is an excellent violin for intermediate players who are able to get a better sound out of an instrument.

Bridged arrived out of place, but otherwise the instrument has great sound

The sound is great but needs break-in, the bows are ok but can be upgraded, the strings are good and it tunes very well

The sound is loud and clear

She also mentioned that it has a nice sound and stays in tune.

Great sound

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

Which is great oddly even with the change of strings the D string resonates way louder than any of the others
