There is a lot to love about this violin but....
Cons-
Of the two bows I received one was usable, not great but usable. The other was just absolute trash and I'm kicking myself for not getting pictures before I tossed it.
Get yourself a better Rosin, I can prepared for bad rosin and got bad rosin. You can get a decent rosin on Amazon for like $5.
If you care about appearance my violin has dirt spots mixed in with the finish.

And last, but the most painful one. The E string sits so low it's nearly touching the top part of Mt neck. The issue is the nut was filed down too deep.
Pro's-
Price for sound quality is insane. You will not find a better sounding violin for the price Glarry puts out in the US. It beats out most other more expensive entry level instruments with a consistent warm tone.
Aged wood, AGED WOOD, AGED WOOD for $94. Holy poop
The case has a built in hygrometer
The tuner is great, and I got two bridges which was a huge plus.
The violin isn't staying in tune well, but that is to be expected with new cheap strings.
Overall- I would give this violin 3.5 stars.
If I find an easy affordable solution to the E string I will update my review and increase it's rating.

UPDATE-
I received a new bow in good condition and a $15 refund. This worked great because I used the money to buy a new bridge, this solved my E string problem. I would like to change my 3 stars to 5!
