Molto bello

I bought this for my daughter who is learning.What you get.The kit contains the Violin, Bow, case and some Rosin.Set upThis needs some time and patience. It comes with the strings attached but not tuned. I suggest buying a clip on tuner which is accurate and inexpensive and can be used by a beginner. Amazon sometimes offers this as part of a suggested buy and is well worth doing.Tuning for the first time should be done gradually, it is unlikely that the Violin will come into tune on day one. Adjust the strings over a couple of days. You will need to Rosin the bow as it does not seem to have any on it out of the case. rosin condition the bow and makes the bow strings rough so that when they move across the string they cause it to vibrate and produce a note. It may take several applications and several days before the bow is play ready - there is lots of help on Google - just type in something like 'setting up a new Violin'. Once the bow has been conditioned and the strings tuned you can begin playing.In use.The Violin p0lays well and once tuned it stays in tune quite well. The finish is nice and surprisingly the sound is excellent for a Violin at this price point.Overall.A good starter Violin but it will need patience to set up to get the best out of it.

Good violin for anyone to learn on. Had to buy another bow as the one shipped was only a 3/4 size one.

I didn't expect too much from it, but it (still) performs well. It has a very strong sound, though I think the range is a little thin. Not bad, I just miss some deeper tones. That or violins don't even have them.

+ Good quality, stay in tune OK, orange/red colour instead of brown, wooden pegs+ Possibly the cheapest you can get without compensating on quality & with a reasonable sound-- steel strings a little hard to press for beginners, OK if you are used to it-- rosin that come with it sounds badNB I changed to pirastro tonica G,D,A strings and pirastro gold E (around 40 quid), much more comfortable to press but sounds a little scratchy. Changing the rosin solved the problem (around 5 quid) now sounds brilliant. Now it adds up to around 135 quid in total.Personal opinion for improving sound quality in order of descending impact and ascending cost: rosin -> strings -> violin & bridge -> bow
