Sattler Strad Pad (Original Elastic - Medium) Review

Sattler Strad Pad (Original Elastic - Medium)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Perfect little addition to your violin (or in my case, viola). I would always get horrible rashes on my neck after practicing, but this solved the problem. It's very comfortable, and it made it much easier for me to hold up my viola.

The Strad Pad is a soft latex pad which fits over the chinrest and curves down around to the back of the instrument. The deluxe model is slightly larger. Both models are excellent for protecting the neck and chin from the pressure of the violin/viola.

This product's purpose is to prevent feedback when used with an amplifier - it prevents the sound form the speakers from entering the guitar body, therefore reducing feedback. It is NOT intended to make the guitar "softer". When used for the intended purpose, it works well.

Meisel Chin Chum Chinrest Cover, Large Review

Meisel Chin Chum Chinrest Cover, Large
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
After a while, the soft velvety look will eventually wear down so don't be decieved. After practicing, I've found that the Chin Chum would develop a rash worse than what I would get without it. :(
I would recommend a "Strad-Pad" over this. Thicker...lasts longer...works better...

Violinists and violists no longer have to "take it on the chin!" The Chin-Chum, a cushioned, ultrasuede padded chin rest cover, slips over the cup of the chinrest and protects the player from "violin hickeys." The Chin-Chum also protects the neck from the chin rest's metal clamp. Available in three sizes: Small (Suzuki sized instruments), medium and large.

(More customer reviews)
I purchased this violin for my wife, an adult over 50 and we have no children left at home. The children are married or off to college and do not live close by. I stated this because I didn't want anyone to think that some child was messing with this violin.
The violin has trouble keeping tuned. Also the bow cracked before my wife had a chance to use it. She is taking lessons from an elderly lady who has complained about the violin strings becoming loose too easily.
I would highly recommend looking for another product.

Cecilio CVN-500 Ebony Antique Finish Flamed 1/4 Size Orchestra Violin with Case and Accessories Review

Cecilio CVN-500 Ebony Antique Finish Flamed 1/4 Size Orchestra Violin with Case and Accessories
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
First I have to admit that I do not know much about violins, and was apprehensive of buying one online without hearing the sound or really knowing what it would be like. Something told me NOT to buy on line but when I saw this [..]violin selling for [...]it grabbed my attention. My history of purchasing things through Amazon has been really great and so went ahead and got this for a friend, who was learning the violin with her [...]. She was very happy to receive it, and like me did not know much about it. She did say that she received it without it being strung and that she had asked her son's teacher if he could string it for her, and he explained that normally he could, but that it came with a bridget that was not prepared to be strung. So, she had to bring it to a violin shop. Since the violin shop is over an hour away, she was not able to do this in the time alloted to return the merchandise. After she talked to the people at the violin shop, she had to make over $100 in repairs to the violin in order for it to be used. The strings that came with the violin were not able to be used, there was a problem with something inside the violin (remember I am not a violin player). I was hoping that she would receive this violin and be ready to play with her son, however, it has been about a month since I purchased it and it will be early May before she will get it back to play. When I read the reviews on this product, there was only one review and to say the least it was confusing. I take some blame for not being happy with this purchase, and have learned that musical instruments are probably better to be bought from a live person who has some knowledge in the product; not just take an advertisers word as to the worth of something. The reviews with this company ranged from terrible to great and so it was hard to decide to buy or not to buy. I guess once the repairs are made my friend will have a violin to play with her son. But I won't be buying an instrument on line again.

First Act MCV61 Concert Series Violin with Case Review

First Act MCV61 Concert Series Violin with Case
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I give the First Act Concert Series Violin five stars based on quality and price. It is perfect for school music programs. First Act should be commended for designing instruments that are affordable for average families. The critics must realize that this allows children to learn to play an instrument who may not have been able to otherwise. It is a beautiful, well crafted instrument for the cost. My daughter is proud to own her violin and I don't have to deal with the hassle of renting. If she becomes highly skilled at playing the violin, then we will discuss paying top dollar for one. Until then, her First Act violin is perfect while she's still in elementary school.

This exquisitely crafted, hand carved 4/4 size violin is based on the "Emiliani" Stradivarius model of 1724. Ebony appointments and factory fit bridge and tailpiece maintain the meticulous details required for perfect intonation, playability and rich sound projection. The brown stain and translucent finish highlight the tight grain of the spruce top and natural flame on the maple back & ribs. Inlaid purfling completes the professional quality of this violin. Students ready for a full sized violin will not find a finer outfit, complete with oblong case, rosin, extra strings, and genuine horse hair brazilwood bow. Includes First Act's instructional DVD demonstrating proper set-up and tuning to aid new players. The lifetime manufacturer's limited warranty covers parts and labor.

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
The violin came very fast, but the color displayed on amazon is deceiving. The violin is not as blue as it looks in the picture, but is more of a light torquoise. I have been unable to get ahold of Gracemall to discuss exchanging for another color. It is very difficult to find contact info to talk to someone. This was a Christmas present for a little girl who was disappointed by the ugly color and now it looks as though it cannot be exchanged. Anyone have any ideas on how to get ahold of Gracemall? Amazon seems to not want to give any info about them on the website.

Karl Willhelm Carbon Fiber Violin Bow, 4/4 Size Black Review

Karl Willhelm Carbon Fiber Violin Bow, 4/4 Size Black
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This bow would have been disappointing even if I had paid half the price. The workmanship was sloppy. The tip was slightly malformed, and didn't have the pretty shape it should have. There was glue smeared on the silver wrap. The hair on the bow was very sparse, about 3/4 of the amount one would expect. When played, I did not notice anything special about the carbon filament. My recommendation: buy one of the $30 bows sold on the internet instead of this one, you will get a better quality product.

Full Size Violin 4 x 4 With Case - Dark Blue Review

Full Size Violin 4 x 4 With Case - Dark Blue
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
First off, the color is cerulean, not dark blue. Second, it didn't come with a bridge, but when they sent the bridge, it did not have those notches or spaces to put the strings in, and the poor quality wood gave me a splinter. Third, Half of the dang instrument isn't even real wood. Fourth, the string came out of one of the pegs. Fifth, I found many other violins for the same price as this piece of crap to be real maple and ebony wood, and have everything included. Sixth, the bow hair was stained red. Seventh, the paint they used on the violin was cheap and looked as if it would fade very soon. Eighth, The fingerboard had oil on it. (So far, it looks like it was used) Ninth, three bow hair pieces already came out the day I took the violin out of the box. Tenth, the red case pictured above was really tan when it had arrived. Eleventh, the strings are really cheap and are not at all intended for professionals or something to last long. Twelfth, the rosin I received was all messy and already used, and some of it was chipped. Thirteenth, the leather on the bow hair where you put your index finger when playing is coming off. Fourteenth, the lines on the outside look like someone just ran a sharpie across to make it. Fifteenth, this thing is a complete waste of money!!!!
