Review: Value exceeds its cost! - This violin is fantastic for its cost. I will try to briefly touch on the important things. For background, this purchase was for my five year old son, who is just starting out. I am not a violinist, but have a lifelong history of playing various instruments and can play the violin a little bit. First, build quality. Like most production instruments, this violin is overbuilt. What that means is it is sturdy and can take a little bit of abuse. What that also means is it will not resonate as much as a high end or custom built instrument. For the target audience here, robust over sound projection is preferred. It is a beautiful instrument aesthetically with a good finish. Remember, kids drop things. A lot. These are for kids, so this build quality hits the target. Next, sound quality. It is loud and clear. Out of the box it has decent intonation. It projects a nice sound (when played correctly). An important thing to consider, it is a 1/4 size. ALL 1/4 size violins lack that full vibrant sound. I will not penalize it for being what it is and neither should you. As a comparison, my son started with a rental. MSRP on the rental was ten times the cost of this one. This one sounds better. The rental had very old, dull strings that needed replacement. Changing them probably would have helped tremendously, but that’s typical of how rentals come—beat up, abused and neglected. I feel like this instrument, being a 1/4 size, is aimed at the youth who would otherwise consider renting. This is better than renting. It’s paid for in about four months worth of a rental and sounds better than most rentals you will likely be issued. Finally, accessories. The case is nice. The bows are nice. The tuner is superb. It comes with extra strings, which I have not used, but I assume they are probably the same as what came installed, so likely perfectly adequate. The shoulder rest is complete trash. Don’t bother. File it in the trash can where it belongs along with the rosin that may not actually be rosin but resembles something more like plastic. It’s no big deal, pick up a good quality shoulder rest and rosin before you get started. The way I see it, for the price, those accessories were thrown in as a bonus anyway and the quality of the case, bows, and tuner are a great bonus. The instructional book looks good from thumbing through it, but we haven’t really gotten into it as my son has been playing the music issued to him by his teacher. I definitely recommend this violin. Just remember, 1/4 size violins sound like 1/4 size violins. We deal with them because our kids’ arms and hands are small. We take their limitations that result from that size decrease. If your kid shows any interest, this is a great way to start. My five year old has longer arms than most of his peers, so this is probably more for 6-8 year olds. Most 4-5 year olds probably fit a 1/8 size better, but do your research or have your child fitted to be sure. Hope this is helpful.
Review: Great entry/student level violin for the price - has everything you need to start. - I bought a 4/4 sized one and wow! I am really impressed. What an awesome entry/student level violin. For the money, it is well worth it. Cecilio customer service was great. One of the bows was broken on arrival and I sent them an email with a pic of the broken bow. With no questions asked, they sent me a brand new one. Five stars for excellent customer service and five stars for a great product (for the money). I am teaching myself how to play and this comes with everything a student need - violin, bows, rosin, shoulder rest, chin rest (pre-installed), extra set of string (two total - one already installed and one extra set), two bridges (one already installed and one extra), metronome/tuner, case with cloth cover inside, and a beginner's book. The violin itself is really well built, nothing was broken (besides that one bow) when I opened it. The pre-installed fine tuners on the tail piece makes it easy to make minor adjustments to get your strings in tune. The pegs stay in place very well and is very secure (it's been a little more than a week and the violin is still in tune). The sound post inside the violin did not come lose. The tail piece was pre-installed with the strings and bridge. I had to move the pre-installed bridge a little, so for a complete beginner, this might be a little hard to set up. It's always good to get a teacher or someone who has had some experience with violins to help ya set it up properly. (I had help with youtube videos, lol. Plus, I play lots of instruments, so I know a thing or two on set ups and whatnot.) Anyhow, for the money, this is a really good entry/student level violin. The customer service was top notch!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Over all a good beginning instrument
*by R***S on October 29, 2020*

I just received this violin yesterday, so I can only give first impressions. I believe I got my money's worth ($100 on sale at the time of my purchase) as far as a beginning violin outfit is concerned. I have been playing guitar for over thirty years now, and mandolin for a hand full, and as such have purchased a number of guitars (several over the internet) and two mandolins, and know what to expect for the money I've spent. $100 will not buy a high quality guitar or mandolin, but it should be serviceable. This then formed the basis of my expectation for this $100 violin outfit. Perhaps not the highest quality, but good enough to get started on. Another thing I considered before making my purchase is the fact that the accessories included have value. My best guess on the value of the accessories included with this violin is $30 to $40, which, when subtracted from the price of the outfit, leaves around $60 or $70 for the violin. I paid $70 for my first mandolin and $85 for my first guitar. They were adequate instruments for grasping the basics of playing, but were both replaced by $500 instruments within a year or so. This is what I expect from my new violin. Now to some specifics. The violin itself arrived in good condition, no visible scratches or imperfections in the finish, the neck is straight with no visible warping, the strings came installed and under loose tension, holding the installed bridge and sound post in place, and there was a cardboard sleeve wrapped around the tail piece to protect the top from damage during shipping. It tuned easily enough using the included tuner (more about which is detailed below), and seems to be holding its tune, running a little flat this morning, but string stretch can account for that. As far as general appearance is concerned, it is a pretty little instrument. For a first violin I am satisfied that I have made a reasonably well informed (having read the reviews listed here on Amazon, including the review left by the luthier, and watched several video demos of this violin) and adequate decision. The bows, both of which were in plastic sleeves, were tightened when they arrived, the sticks of each being straight rather then curved. Understanding that the bow should be relaxed when not in use, I was disappointed by this fact. Both bows resumed some of their curved shape when I released the tension, but I don't expect either of them to last any real length of time. In a few months, once I have progressed enough to know the violin is a instrument I wish to continue to persue, I'll be replacing both bows with one of better quality. I can say little about the actual quality of the strings, having no violin specific experience on which to base a first impression, except to say that I will be replacing them soon as a matter of principal. Remembering that two sets of strings are included in the price of the outfit, they can't be high quality strings. Cheap strings produce cheap tones on my guitars and mandolins. I see no reason why this should be any different for violins. New strings won't improve the quality of the violin, but they should go some little distance to improving tone and playability. The picture of the case included in the description of the outfit flatters it quite a bit. It's a cheap case, and I am generally unimpressed with it. It will protect the instrument, which is its purpose, but if I had paid more than $15 or $20 dollars for it separately, I'd be returning it. It just looks cheap to me. I've looked over the instruction book and believe it would be a good starting point. I didn't expect much more than an introductory pamphlet, so receiving a Mel Bay book was a pleasant surprise. I won't be using it much, however, as I purchased another beginning violin book separately. Finally the tuner. I've owned a number of tuners, and this one is what I'd expect to receive for around $10. I've compared it with another tuner I own and the tuning app I have downloaded to my phone, and it seems to be within an acceptable margin of error with each. The included metronome is a nice feature of the tuner. I practice both the guitar and mandolin with a metronome and imagine I will do the same with the violin. All together I believe I got what I paid for, a $60 violin with $40 worth of accessories. I expect it to serve me well through the awkward stages of beginning to learn, and to be replaced by a higher quality and more thoroughly researched instrument within a year or so.
