Overall: The violin has proved to be an excellent instrument. But the bow completely fell apart less than 2 months after I got it and my attempt to replace it has been very frustrating.| Review By: Joe-zvUPR | 1 year, 6 months ago

Overall: First, order some good rosin along with it; the stuff included in the kit is worthless.  The violin seems well made. No flaws that I can find. The pegs fit nicely, and it stays in tune. Sound isn't bad at all, although repositiong the soundpost made a nice improvement. As did better strings (any strings are better strings).  The bow and case are probably woth what the whole thing cost.  The only gripe I have, is that the fine tuners are hard to turn, but thats| Review By: Holly I. | 3 years, 4 months ago

Overall: A really nice beginner's kit. One doesn't expect concert tonal quality at this price, but it's a fine sound, more than we expected for the price. The photos do not do it justice: that dirt brown is actually a rich cherrywood tone. (We noticed no odd smells, and we're used to a lot of adhesives.)| Review By: Chris-0NanF | 4 years, 2 months ago

Overall: I'm a professional electric bass player and composer and bought this to fool around on (along with a couple other cheap instruments).  For the price, this is fantastic - a violin, a case, a bow, rosin...you can't beat it.  It is cheap quality and you can smell the cheap glue (Elmer's probably...) - you get what you pay for.  But if you don't want to spend a lot of money, this is it.
