That being said, her music instructor has confirmed that this is a great quality instrument

I decided to just save my money for a better quality instrument.

Good instrument for the money

I would save up to get a better quality instrument

Bought for my grandson, beautiful instrument

Sometimes called a lady's violin, these instruments are slightly shorter than a full size violin, but tend to be high-quality instruments capable of producing a sound that is comparable to that of fine full size violins

Pretty but not really a serious instrument

With a few minor upgrades this is a wonderful instrument that will provide a rich and full sound.

Anyway its really a great instrument & at the price We can afford to purchase a new one as she grows up to a full size & never break the bank.

I would recommend Cremona violins to anyone looking for an affordable but decent quality instrument.

Inexpensive yet a full featured well sounding instrument

My daughter expressed interest in learning to play the violin and we wanted something that would balance cost with adequate playability for a beginning student (buying or renting a very expensive instrument before knowing if the interest would continue, compared to buying something overly cheap that sounded awful and might discourage her)

At first we weren't t so happy with the instrument

The 1st replacement was good, except that the E fine tuner screw slips off of the fine tuner finger
