The bow needs to be rosinized for a long time before it can produce sound. The pegs will slip and require a lot of force to push in. The sound quality is pretty good though, and the surface is clean and even in color. A very good violin for beginners.

Great price for a starter violin. We did need to get it adadjusted. But I can't complain since it does come with a ton of accessories. We did not want to invest too much until we knew she would actually practice.

I can't say much in comparison to a more expensive violin as this is the first one I have ever played. I docked one star because my bow seems a bit roughly made. It lost quite a few hairs at the start. So far I am loving it!

Serves purpose for school practice. Must tune more frequent but good purchase.

The most I like about this Violin is... It's very light weight and perfect for my school going daughter. But one thing I would like to mention is that the tunning peg comes out of its hole.

So far so good. The pins are a little loose making tuning slightly difficult. This is overall a very nice product for the price point and a nice starting point for anyone that is just starting. It allows you to get a violin without having to commit to a couple hundred dollar instrument.

As a beginner violinist, this violin is more than good enough. How often you need to tune it will depend on the humidity. Once I moved to somewhere with humidity above 50%, the rate of tuning went from every time I wanted to play it to once every few months. Regardless of humidity, I recommend reinstalling the strings to keep the pegs from slipping.

I have been playing string instruments since I was 12 years old but never the vilion Now in my early 50s I decided to learn the violin. Out of the box, I did my first sacle, set up was a bit difficult, the bridge was a bit bulky, but the quality of this instrument was very good. Especially for the price. Will shave down the bridge, widen the strings at the nut, and have a set of tuners on the way. I was impressed with the sound as well, the resenation was pleasing to the ear. Nice instrument.

For the price this violin and accessories package will exceed your expectations. If not, then you're greedy. Everything, including the tuner, is good. As for the bow, it's surprisingly good. The violin sound is good and puts out a good amount of volume. With a better set of strings, I suspect this violin will sound better. The case is basic, but not bad. The bridge is not bad either. I noticed it didn't appear to be as thick as the one Jerry Rosa was less than impressed with during his review of ...

For the price this violin and accessories package will exceed your expectations. If not, then you're greedy. Everything, including the tuner, is good. As for the bow, it's surprisingly good.

I noticed it didn't appear to be as thick as the one Jerry Rosa was less than impressed with during his review of this model (YouTube video). The one critical point I have is that string spacing on the nut is a terrible job. The spacing is uneven and the G and E strings could be closer to the edge. Please make a jig to measure slot spacing. Ideally, as far apart as reasonably possible and evenly spaced, so as to make the violin as easy as possible to play. For this reason, I'm dropping a star off my review. If slot spacing was at least in the ballpark, I would have given this violin package five stars.

This violin exceeded all my expectations for an instrument at this price. I had a small problem with the bow, it was warped, but Glarry support dept. Was eager to help. 4 stars for the instrument, 5 stars for customer service.
