broken thing upon arrival, not good quality at all!

Sounds expensive, great quality.

Very good quality and good for a beginner.

the dominant strings)and some better quality rosin

That being said, the build quality of this instrument is surprisingly fantastic.

The ebony fret board is of decent quality and is very playable

I would highly suggest investing a bit more money in a better quality instrument to save on frustration alone.

I did replace the strings before I played it with good quality strings although the ones that came with it are not terrible

The quality is really good, as are the accessories (and quality of the accessories) for the price

Decent quality.

I know how expensive good quality violins can be but wanted to try to find something a little more cost effective for myself

I would heavily recommend investing in a set of good quality strings, they will make the tone much better and are not as brutal on your fingertips.

This is an incredible quality instrument for the price

Tonal quality is bright, powerful, but totally exceptional for the price

I'm sure there are better quality violins out there, but for a beginner this seems to work very well.

We do need better quality strings but once he gets better then we'll get him better strings

I recommend Jade rosin, Pirastro strings, and a braided carbon fiber bow with Mongolian horsehair (DZ Strad produces quality affordable bows that last)

Sounds expensive, great quality.
