I was impressed when I opened the box. The set up and insturment was great for the price. This quickly turned to dissapointment as I couldn't get it to play or the pegs to stay in firmly enough to tune. After some research, I realized you really have to jam in the pegs, set up the bridge properly and rosin the heck out of the bow...like for 20 min the first time. Soften the rosin with your fingers a bit so that it will transfer to the strings. I am back to being impressed with this cheap little guy. Worth the money if you are just looking for something to play around with a bit.

Ive never touched a violin in my life. I am 51 years old. The violin it self is nice, but one of the strings broke before I even got it completely on. And the pegs that the strings go in don't stay in place, so when I tune it and let go of the peg it turns back again. I have to REALLY push it HARD into the hole. Also I have watched so many videos about setting it up and how to hold the bow and your arm, and everything looks perfect but two of the strings are still being touched at the same time. The a string sounds good until I press down on it, no matter how hard or soft it sounds distorted. Also there was no suggestion inside the violin case for websites to go to to put it together. i didn't know I had to attach the strings and install the bridge. But there's no instructions for people that are first timers like me. Anyways with the string sound on the a string, I can't even practice, so this is a bummer. I bought the shoulder rest, and the chords chart to put on the neck and even bought a darker resin, but I just can't practice with the sound the way it is. Thinking about returning.Read full review

The TOP is good, Back sides and fingerboard good, TUNERS need to have the Black faux ebony removed so the stay in tune. The BOW cannot be adjusted properly because it is too flexible. Still this is a good deal if you are willing to make some modifications yourself.

Nice styling and does what is advertised. A few minor set up features and good for the beginner. I liked the sound quality of this instrument and as a beginning instrument, it works well. Worth the price even with the few issues of the set up to play.

Will not hold a tune for five minutes A professional tried to tune it. He said it was only a toy. It would cost more to return it than it is worth. Guess it will make a nice wall hanging in my husbands music room. Not even good for a beginner like me!
