I have no fancy-expensive-instrument experience to compare this to, but I can tell you I'm really happy with it

It feels stuffed with styrofoam, but it is shaped to pad well, it's easy to carry, and it holds equipment and protects the instrument.

I had no idea what to expect, other than a very inexpensive instrument that is hopefully not just a toy

Other than that, it has good sound, and for the price, it is a beautiful looking string instrument

I hate having to point out price vs quality, but as far as beginner violins go, it's a pretty good instrument all things considered

And this instrument is no worse than the rental one I used to have from school

The instrument is well protected during shipment and has a light, but sturdy case with a compartment for storing rosin and other accessories

(I don't know if it's fit right, but the instrument sounds just fine)

I knew this was going to be a cheap instrument, but I thought it was going to at least be playable.

This is not a fine, high quality instrument

Quite a decent little instrument

Good luck, anyone studying this instrument

My daughter has dabbled with the violin for a year or two as a hobby, but not seriously enough to justify buying an expensive instrument, so this was a good choice for her at home practice

It isn't a super impressive instrument, but you absolutely can play it and it sounds okay

: This is a beginner instrument perfect for finding out if you want to seriously pursue the violin

Not a bad instrument it tuned rather easy and makes sound

I've also had several clumsy students prone to dropping their instrument, and I feel this is a decent starter violin if you can't afford to rent/have decent instrument insurance with a child that may not be exceedingly careful about taking care of a delicate instrument

This is definitely a beginner violin and as you become more accomplished, you will most certainly purchase a more expensive, higher quality instrument

However, that doesn't mean this is a bad instrument

This is a fine instrument for an amazing price
