Product Description
This violin is ideal for the beginning musician. It features maple wood back and sides, pear wood fingerboard and four fine tuners. It also includes a genuine horse hair wood bow, rosin and a featherweight carrying case with strap and carrying handle. Accessory colors/style may vary. Here are some hints to help keep your violin in tune: 1. Although the violins come with a bridge, it is not installed. Installing a bridge should is not difficult, but if you have a problem, please email us. The bridge has to be installed for the violin to play correctly. 2. Strings do tend to slip and lose their tune on a new violin because they need to stretch. If this happens, just give it time. The strings just need time to settle in. 3. If the violin pegs keep slipping, try to push the peg in while turning it. If they still dont stay in, peg drops are available at most music stores. They are relatively inexpensive and should help the pegs stay in. 4. If a strand of hair breaks on the bow, take a pair of nail clippers and cut it from the frog (bottom of the bow) or the top of the bow. A few hairs are bound to fall out with play. Remember to rub a little rosin (included) on the bow before playing. This is a great violin to get started with. And at this price it is an unbeatable value.SimilarProduct

Customer reviews
It was nice 
by .. D. Cummuta ()
I liked it a lot. The violin was just the way I thought it would be. After installing my bridge, I realized that a very novice Violin player wouldnt know how to put the bridge on. I would think they would put some kind of directions in there. All in all though the bow took very little Rosin to play, it has a pretty amazing sound quality for such a low priced violin. I like it and I think it will be great to continue my ventures to further my violin playing.
Needs New Picture But Great! by .. Vueiy (The Former Republic of...)
Beautiful violin! I'm a beginner, so I admit I don't know the difference between one type/brand and another, but it seems great to me. Since this is the first violin I've ever owned (or set up), I didn't know how to install the bridge, but it was easy enough to Google it, and find a youtube video or two to help. Being familiar with stringed instruments, tuning was also easy enough, and since my pitch pipe hasn't come in yet, I used an online tuner ( http://www.get-tuned.com/violin_tuner.php ), found a video on how to rosin the bow, and I was in business.
The only difference from what was advertised and what I got was that the blue violin has black accents instead of brown (wood), but I thought that looked better. However, the picture should be updated so that people know what they're getting. Another person noted that, as well, but since that was fine with me, I still purchased it.
It should be noted that it doesn't come with a shoulder rest, so you should probably get one. Kinda hurts without one; mine's on the way.
Affordable and playable by .. John A. Weisel (Fitzgerald, GA USA)
Great beginners violin. Sturdy case.The fine tuners are low profile.I love mine. The included rosin block looks like a bar of hotel soap, so you'll need to get a larger one. The actual color is a deeper blue than the display picture.
Spectacular! by .. J. Chambers (Bloomington, IL)
Item was shipped as promised very quickly! This is a place I would order from again!
if you buy this violin to your sons or daughters, BUY IT!!! by .. ()
It came as new as a diamond. BLue is my favorite color, so I bought this violin instead of the violin that was pink.
PERFECT!!!
