very good for new student to learn basic skills

And while not top shelf, they are decent student strings

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

Overall the violin is a decent student violin.

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
