Pyle 1/4 Size Beginner Violin Starter Kit, Violin Starter Package with Travel Case & Bow, Extra Strings, Digital Tuner, Shoulder Rest & Cleaning Cloth for Students, Kids, Adults

Disclaimer, I know next to nothing about violins; this was a starter violin for my 6th grade daughter as she is taking an elective violin class at school. OK. For the price, cannot be beat; this is a working violin, i mean it sounds like a violin to my untrained ears, the sound may not be deep or rich, or whatever other adjective violin players use, but hey! for the price, you can get to verify if the user likes it short term, and then move on to a better one. I took it for a tune up to the local music shop, the guy took maybe 5 minutes to fine tune it. He said it was a good little starter violin, but do not expect much than that. The music teacher did say that the bow was kinda crappy, so we bought a better bow ($50) made of real horse hair (I believe) and bought better rosin. Other than that, the case is great, and the other things that came with it, like the chin holder and tuner, is a nice plus. So if you are barely starting out with the violin, and don't really know the future, this is a great buy.

Absolutely beautiful instrument. Came pre-strung and ready to go. Excellent sound on first play even before tuning. Carbon fiber and electric have their place but there’s a reason violins are traditionally made of wood. The resonance is remarkable and the smell immediately brought back childhood orchestra memories and ones of my grandfather playing his fiddle when I was a kid. I will likely be purchasing more for nieces, nephews and niblings.Comes with a blanket, good amount of rosin in a nice case, electric tuner, booklet, rest, replacement strings, cleaning cloth and a long strap for the case. If you register it with Pyle you get a year warranty and they send you a free metronome.

It is well made but has a broken string.

I purchased this as a warehouse deal. I'm not sure if that's part of the issue or if the violin would have arrived like we received it. There were multiple things wrong:-the strings were put in backwards and unusable once we tried to fix them-we were only given 3 extra strings (not 4)-the bridge was installed incorrectly and would not stay in the correct spot even after multiple times of trying to get it to work-there was a hole in the bagNeedless to say, the violin was returned. We were hopeful because it looked like a nice violin and there were other good reviews. It didn't work out for us.

Sound quality

Bought this for my husband and he loves it! Great to learn with!

Good quality but there was missing one of the micro tuners, and that pissed me off cause I was waiting on my violin to arrive and play it, but when I tried to tune it there was missing just one of them!

This is a very nice set for beginners. Bow is nice - brand new, so make sure you put a lot of rosin. I really like how it's a complete set with a nice lightweight case, shoulder rest, tuner, cleaning cloth and rosin.The sound of the instrument itself is OK - acceptable for beginners - but you get what you pay for. Maybe with upgraded strings it would have a bit bigger sound. We had been renting a $900 instrument, but are moving and needed to return the rental and bought this one instead. This one was much less than that, so in comparison to the price difference, the quality for price is pretty good and I think it's good enough to tie us over to the next size.

Good for a beginner which is why I bought it. He likes it

Pour un débutant très facile ..bien suivre les instructions et des heures de plaisir
