This is a real deal 4/4 violin! It's great for relearning the instrument! It's got good tone and sound. A good value for learning or relearning the violin. Glarry instruments are a great value and fill a great place in the field of good starter instruments.
My girls both started off with little violins, and I got a little jealous. I ordered myself a 4/4 size and I couldn't be happier. Is it an orchestra quality instrument? I have no idea…I'm a beginner. But I feel like I'm in an orchestra soloing while scratching out "Twinkle Twinkle". It really has a beautiful sound once I broke the strings and tuner pegs in. Now I only need to use the fine tuners once every couple of days.
Very pleased for the money! If I had ever played a more expensive violin then I might be a little pickier but it consistently makes the same sound and makes me feel confident that it would be worth the money to someday splurge on a better instrument.
I'm a semi professional violinist who bought this for my son—it's great for the price! Ours stays in tune, but if you have problems with that, take a little of the rosin dust and put it on the bottom of each peg/in the hole. It should help with sticking.
I purchased this violin for my granddaughter. My grandson has started playing the violin and she just kept picking it up and wanting to play it. So I just decided to buy her one. She is most happy, we took it to the music shop to have the bridge and strings professionally adjusted. No problem, she loves it and it sounds great.
