so I decided to throw in the towel and return it and get a better quality instrument

and the bow strings were not of great quality.

Our granddaughters teacher said it was of very good quality and she didn't have a problem with her using it in class or recitals.

My daughter's teacher recommended this brand because it was not expensive but supposedly good quality, but not even she can keep it in tune, and one string hardly plays a tone at all no matter what she does to it

Good price, but poor quality.

Spend just a little more and get something better quality.

Quality exceeds expectations.

Based on my history of reviews you will see that I am not afraid to rate a product as "poor" based on a bad performance, bad quality, or even not performing as expected

If you do stay with it, you will naturally outgrow this starter and seek a better quality one.

Very good quality!

Not the best quality

Now: While I am just starting out myself, even I could tell that the bow was made of a cheap quality

I just made an objective review for Mendini MV200 at youtu.be/WcPkwY0HxIU, you can see what the real violin look like and the sound quality, the pros and cons

not good quality product

I think this is a good toy at least, but a violin with better sound quality makes the kids want to learn violin even more.

Excellent violin, superb quality.

She has never seen one of this poor quality.

Good quality for the price..

, I knew I wasn't getting a super great quality bow to begin

Decent quality; perfect for my 9 year old who's not sure if she'll continue lessons or not

This instrument will have to be set up by a luthier (string instrument repair person), is of very poor quality, and will be difficult to play

The only reason that I give it a three out of five and not a lower rating is because after all that is said and done, violence is producing a decent quality of sound now

Really cute and great quality.

Not a great quality

Quality product, very fast shipping as well.

The case, extra strings, and bow are all decent quality

Great quality for what you are getting

Pegs break (inferior quality).Most violin shops will not work on them

, I could've spent just a little more money to have a much better quality one.

POOR QUALITY DOESNT STAY TUNE

The instrument comes with very poor quality strings, that can be dangerous when they break (they become quite sharp).

The music professor, who is also the head of the department, said this is an excellent quality violin for students and beginners

Great quality

Sound quality so far is great for a true beginner.

They are made of poor quality woods that are often "green wood", meaning they are made with wood that has not been heat

Besides that it seems like good quality.

The case it came with was of good quality, and protected the violin, and it's parts.

Violin was of poor quality,

Not good quality, will not stay in tune.

The quality is great for this price

On both, I have had trouble with the integrated tail piece being of poor quality and having one of the tuners break within a few months.

I would suggest actually paying a little more money and buying a better quality rosin from a violin shop, but really, for the price it's an excellent buy.

Do not buy this it is horrible and cheap took to a violin store and they said send it back won't stay tuned bad quality

However the quality is very cheap

and it's a decent quality that can play a tune without sounding too chintzy.

The quality is decent for the price and everything you will need to get started is included.

Good quality, but you to keep tuning the strings, even while practicing

Once my son shows us he is committed we will invest in a better quality violin

bow is bad quality.

Bad quality

Good quality and not that expensive

Good quality for price.

The shoulder rest is also not of good quality

Very poor quality

It was a good quality, only the bow strings were fraying quite a lot.

Go ahead and buy this with full confidence you'll get your money's worth and find a pretty and good quality instrument too.

Great balance price-quality

All in all great quality from an inexpensive instrument

The color is nice and the quality is great for the price

Great quality for a first violin.

You can definitely use this as a beginner, but I would prefer to recommend spending $ 50 more for a better violin that will give you better quality for weeks, such as the mv 500.

The quality of the Purple violins was much better than the Blue or White violins from the same company.

Perfect, good quality, and beautiful

It is a playable (with a lot of scrunching) instrument and good quality.

Save yourself the hassle and the money and buy a legitimate Violin from a reputable manufacturer, it will definitely be more expensive but quality is the main concern here.

It's very cheap, so the quality isn't great

I will be investing in a better quality violin once I get the basic playing technique down, but for an introductory instrument it is a wonderful package.

But I did notice that the strings were poor quality, so I bought new strings

Quality, packaging, instructions, and spare strings are outstanding

It would have gotten a higher rating if the bow was a better quality.

Its not top quality, but there is nothing wrong with it either.

The sound quality is terrible

I think sometimes items start out ok quality and as time passes the seller cheapens the item

I must say, the quality of the violin, fit and finish seems great.

Nice quality

When my son needed a violin I started to look on Craigslist only to find obscure, used, not-good-quality items for more than $100 (I know CL prices are crazy), but this is cheaper than that, it's new, and it comes with all the accessories

but i must say the rosin that it comes with is very poor quality

I was advised by one of the music stores that this item was of better quality than some of theirs that sell for twice as much.

The violin as good sound quality and I loved all of the extras.

This is an exceptional high quality instrument for a low price

Great price for everything you get for a beginner but quality is not very good

Awful quality violin

Quality is bad

I did put some good strings on this violin almost out of the box, and she's got a nice bow, so the quality of the sound is actually really good.

While some bows were usable, others were of decidedly poor quality

I would suggest that if you have the money you would invest a little more for a better quality.

The shoulder rest actually is not that much of a good quality but my son doesn't complain too much

Great buy and quality.

They have decent quality instruments for relatively low costs, and they also offer rental and trial options, which many online retailers don't have

Great quality for the price.

it is a pretty violin but horrible quality

Great for beginners....great quality for the price

Poor quality and horrible customer service

my daughters music teacher has been playing in orchestras for generations now and was surprised by this product, saying it has a much better sound and quality then the earlier versions

Very bad quality started falling apart after couple time of use and the major thing it doesn't stay tuned.

the bow and all the accessories were good quality and the extra strings were definitely a bonus

good quality, but had cheap bow.

He was very impressed by how good the quality of this violin is for the price

It's a very economical and high quality option as a real instrument for a young kid

If you have a young 5-6 year old student who is looking to get started please rent from a nearby music shop a better quality instrument

it is a pretty violin but horrible quality

Its great quality and she loves the pink color.

Students that get these instruments typically don't play for very long because the sound quality is so poor, they feel like they are not a good player, even though most of the time, it's the instrument and not them.

The case and every part really is good durable quality.

- The bow seems not to be good quality it looks like it was repaired

I got a nice quality rental starter violin (about $700 value) and donated this violin to a nearby school.

Bad quality

Bad quality

Better quality than I thought it would be.

CONSNot the best quality.

I noticed that the stings were of poor quality and sounded very screechy

Excellent quality and perfect for a young beginner.

good quality , everything recieved as shown in the picture

and I had to send it back because everything on it was so cheap and not very good quality.

The violin itself is decent quality

The violin has lot of scratches and cracks, the quality of the varnish is bad

Excellent value, quality, fit and finish, and acoustic performance.

The sound quality wasn't that great either.

One of the strings also broke after light use , quality is bad , very disappointed

Another thing is the bow, mine isn't bad and it gets the job done but the hardware on it is just a little cheap quality

When my son needed a violin I started to look on Craigslist only to find obscure, used, not-good-quality items for more than $100 (I know CL prices are crazy), but this is cheaper than that, it's new, and it comes with all the accessories

It's beautiful and good quality

Absolutely horrible quality

Very good quality ...

But it does seem like this violin is not very well quality controlled and your mileage may vary.

I wasn't expecting great quality, but a solid first violin

My daughter's instructor suggested we return it and continue using the rented one as it was of much better quality.

It's obviously a cheap quality violin

The sound quality is great for the price, and I am very happy with them, and would recommend them for beginners

Amazing quality violin for the price

The violin itself has a decent enough quality sound (once again, not a great musician or

Overall, amazing quality for the cost paid

Sadly, when she opened it, we found a violin with a very poor paint job and questionable quality of the tuning pegs

Poor quality, the bow does not work

it's not exactly the greatest quality, if you're serious about it I would really recommend that you spend the extra couple bucks and get you better Quality Roslyn, several which can be bought on this site

I am a beginner, and this violin's quality is perfect, easy to tune just need to have extra patience when tuning because the pegs are very sensitive and so is the strings

Excelent for a student, good quality and on time delivery

I was impressed with two statements: 1) the favorable response from educators and schools; and 2) the quality of wood of the instrument at such a cheap price.

The tailpiece is plastic, and needed a small screwdriver to put in better strings, and the shoulder rest is really not for everyone, but since the violin itself is sound, the accessories can be switched out with better quality

While I'm not overly surprised that it's not amazing quality, I am surprised at the quality for the price.

Is it the best quality

I borrowed a bow that was of much better quality, and it made it much nicer and easier to play

Very good quality violin

Just overall terrible quality

The quality is not good enough to spend twice it's cost on repair

The quality is awful!

Awesome product quality and fast delivery

I put a good quality string set on and the violin is okay, especially for the money.

Quality is good for the price that is paid

Good quality for the price.

but it's not good quality for my orchestra class

This is not a grand concert quality instrument, but it fits the bill for a beginner perfectly!!!It does require a little set up and tuning and adjusting, but if you work with instruments or have in the past, it is pretty easy.

Poor quality strings and tuning knobs

This a great gift, in my opinion, for people wishing to know if their receiver would like something of better quality

Pretty good quality for the

I was impressed with the affordable price and good quality of this outfit overall, although my instructor said the bow was not very good at all

The bows are laughable quality and the violin won't hold a tune, like at all

Not of the best quality

Not the best quality but works good and decent cost for a beginner.

Quality is not great: the bow came very slightly warped, the sound is fairly thin and raspy even in the hands of a good player, the strings are mostly junk.

For the price it’s a very good quality

The Violin has scratches on it, the strings are bent and used, and the Bow is of very poor quality, bowed beyond playability and it literally falls apart in your hand

And I was really disappointed with the terrible quality of bow

My sister was very pleased good quality

Unexpected quality and sound from this inexpensive violin

The violin is good, but the case of the violin is of poor quality.

Horrible to tune, poor quality, wrong color, was beat up when I got it like it had been used

Everything was completely fine with this new 1/2 violin and seemed to be decent quality.

The Rosin is okay given the price of the violin, but I would suggest that you get a better quality rosin because it will make the sound better and you won't have to work so hard with the bow

Excellent quality, everything i needed

Excellent quality!!

The sound quality isn't too bad, considering the price

Bad quality and was broken when I open

Thank goodness we had a better quality back up

Yes, they are cheap, but the sound quality will not make you happy

It's a violin, nonetheless, but not that great quality, if you are having trouble tuning it, try buying new strings or try pushing the little black

Really good quality

it's a very cheap quality violin.

Good quality for the price.

The extra set of strings is nice, but they are low quality and break more frequently than other brands

Poor quality​

The rosin seems to be of poor quality, and I had to use a knife to scrape it into a powder, which I then applied to the bow with a cloth.

The sound quality was very bad

I know there is probably better quality and if she sticks with

don't work the g string was already broken when I got it in serious don't take the easy out like me thinking you will be fine because you won't buy a better quality one please not this one!!!!!

nice quality.

Strings are good quality

After reading dozens of reviews, several of which said, while this isn't great quality, it's the same quality as what you get from the music store rentals for $25/month, I decided to purchase.

Seems like good quality, we don't know how to play it yet

This is the worst quality imaginable for a violin, and I would not recommend it to anyone

The quality of the instruments was really poor, not what we expected

This violin is of poor quality

We used top quality rosin, and even after we used the rosin for a few hours, still no sound came out of this violin

Good quality and good one!

The quality is bad

Although I think this is good for violin user, I want to say that if you want to learn or play the violin for a long time, then get better quality violin by paying more dollars

The strings work but need to be upgraded for better quality sound and the rosin needs to be upgraded as well

Excellent product delivered in the approved time, very good quality, identical to the description, 100 % satisfied

Very bad quality, the E string was broken, the rosin was broken too, very disappointed and my son was sad

Good price, but poor quality.

If she continues to play the violin and get better at it, when we buy her a new size I will get a nicer quality one

Please, save your music teacher the headache and go to a local store and rent an instrument of better quality

Quality is good for the price.

The quality is great (for the price)

It's sound quality makes my ears bleed, and it came with 0

I wouldn't recommend it to anyone expecting professional quality because it isn't

The sound quality is horrible and can hardly be heard unless you push hard on violin

Good quality with this price.

Good quality for reasonable price.

Excellent quality for a young violinist

Got a call from her teacher, she said that it was a poor quality instrument and couldn't be tuned

Amazing quality for the price

The quality for the amount I spent is astounding.

I didn't expect great quality for the

Much better quality and you won't get yelled at by the teacher about inferior instruments

Very Good quality.

For the price it is a very good quality instrument and the case is nice

The violin is of terrible quality

One of the strings also broke after light use , quality is bad , very disappointed

I didn't expect amazing quality forthe

I will be returning this and buying another one, probably more expensive but with better quality.

the shoulder rest seams to be of cheaper quality and does not hold onto my neck as well as others

It's like a really bad quality TOY.

I have been told that the two above woods are best quality

Given that this is a cheap violin, you are getting cheap quality

The quality is actually pretty nice for a beginner's instrument, and the fun paint job makes her want to pick it up and practice

The rosin is poor quality

It is a very beautiful Violin, works perfectly for learning to play the instrument, is made with very good quality, I liked it a lot, I recommend it.

Cheap quality

Although it is cheap, the quality is excellent

Even a beginner should have a better quality item.

I give it only 3 stars because of the below cheap quality bow that came with mine

Having experience with good and bad instruments, I can say that this violin was the worst quality I have ever seen

The violin itself is perfect for a beginner but the rosin is absolute crap I suggest buying a separate better quality rosin along with this violin

So it was cheap, but the quality that came with it was worth it

The sound quality is completely deficient, and the tuning mechanisms are a discouragement to a beginning student that will face enough struggles.

The rosin that came with it worked great, should rest is good quality and the original strings have worked well the bow is good quality all for the price

Very cheap quality, bad glue, overall bad cheaply made product!

Very good quality

so don't expect Paganini quality out of it, but great for just a hobbyist

product was absolutely beautiful great sound quality I am very very happy with this violinthank you very much for all your help

but I didn't expect such poor quality.

nice quality for the price and excellent amateur violin

fair quality needs to be constantly tuned, have been told it will get better with use and once the strings have stretched.

Please believe me when I say that this is NOT a good quality violin

Nice quality and good feel

You will not regret spending a little more for a better quality instrument.

Although everything is much better quality than anticipated, it still feels cheap

Not good quality sent back

I was a violin performance major and around violins my whole life, and I think people need to realize when purchasing an instrument this small that the quality will never be very good, because the strings just are not big enough to reach the tones necessary for the lower strings

Not the best quality but arrived on time and ok for the price I paid

The original soundpost was of very poor quality.

Bridge is of inferior quality, making it so soft that the strings sink far into the bridge and cause it to bend and break

I'd need a better quality fiddle

As a violin/string instrument player myself I expected a cheaper quality to just get used to the violin concept but this violin can't even tune

Surprisingly nice quality

A little smaller than I expected, but very good quality

The Rosen is even poor quality.

Overall I'm satisfied enough with the purchase, but I really wish the bow was much better quality.

Very poor quality even as a beginner instrument

Poor quality.

Was told by instructor never to buy a painted Violin as the quality is never good and I have to agree.

Perfect delievery and quality.

My Jacobus Stainer, and older German made Stradivarius copy violin are fine quality but have had the same issues.

it has a pretty good sound quality

Great price amd good quality for my 3 years old!!!

Very poor quality was never able to use this product because the strings always ended up too loose

The quality is also very poor but it look good

( i'm a beginner) but everything was pretty good quality when I opened it

and it's decent, still ordered a better quality

The bows are pretty poor quality or it would have been 5 stars.

Our violin teacher says this is a good quality violin for a beginner.

It really is a nice quality instrument for someone starting out, and cost about as much as a monthly rental from a local music store.

Thank U a

My Daughter loves it thank U A Ton

You might get something playable but you might get something that ruins a

fine tuners also work well 2) produce a noise 3) learn how to bow, and how to play the open strings as well as where to place my first second and third fingers on the strings

After fiddling around with it for about an hour the shop owner discovered that there was a brass ring that was already breaking in the tail, in fact it broke as he was working the

Instrument is perfect, if you first get it and you find that innattempt to tuning it that the pegs don't turn they just go back, you have to push the pegs into the holes as hard as you can

Thank U a

Case so cheap the zipper even broke as I was unzipping it.

The case it comes in is very nice and the violin works as it should
