VIOLINSMART Full Size 4/4 Purple Silent Electric Violin - Complete Set Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The reasons I returned it are many -
1 - Arrived with a broken shoulder rest.
2 - Their description claims wooden pegs, fingerboard and tail piece - NOT - all of these parts are molded plastic. Result? Pegs don't stay in tune, fingerboard flexes when prssing on high notes.
3 - More false claims, the so called 'padded case' is really a cheap canvas like bag, similar to a childs backpack you'd find for 5 dollars (or less) in a discount store.
4 - Bow is not rigid enough, can only get the hair taught enough by really over tightening it. Don't know how long it would survive in that mode.
5 - Included 'instructions' - one sheet of paper with a few useless points.
You should also be aware that you have to pay shipping in both directions - in my case that's $18 I's like to have back.
I gave it one star because of the pretty paint job.
Actually, this wouldn't even make a nice toy, giving it to a prospective musician would most likely leave them frustrated to the point of giving up all together on the violin.

Dominant Rosin for Violin and Viola by Thomastik-Infeld Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)What's to say. I like it. Not too dusty, gives me a good feel of the bow on the violin.

Dominant Rosin for Violin & Viola, comprised of a delicate blend of fine natural resins and exotic waxes, optimizes the performance of synthetic core strings. It's soft, tacky composition provides the precise friction needed to promote the ideal torsional vibration of a synthetic core string yet does not get "gummed up" on bow hair. It also produces less dust compared to harder rosins, making it the ideal rosin for all synthetic core strings. Made by Thomastik-Infeld.

Rotosound RS1000 Silver Wound Violin Strings (Economy Set) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I ordered these strings to replace the broken g string on my violin. After taking the violin to a repair shop for unrelated issues, the guy said that string was not a violin string but rather a classical guitar string. He was kind enough to replace it for free. So, I've learned my lesson. No more economy violin strings.

Wittner Composite 3/4 Violin Chinrest - Side Mount - Hypoallergenic Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have almost all my students purchase these chinrests. They are more comfortable and help them hold their violins correctly. I like that they are all plastic and hypoallergenic. The only problem is that they don't fit with all tailpieces. I have a centermount on my violin and I love it. I would recommend these to anyone.

The String Centre Bech Magnetic Mute (Violin/Viola) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I used to use cheap rubber mutes that rattled when not in use, so I would always take them off of my instrument and lose them. The Bech magnetic mute hasn't rattled, even during some of my most vigorous playing on the lower strings. Therefore, it's not coming off my instrument and I won't lose it. When it is in use, it makes a really nice tone. Get one and never be caught without your mute in rehearsal. It's well worth the money.

Tourte-style (two hole) rubber mute which contains a magnetic insert. Another tiny magnet attaches to the tailpiece with velcro so that when mute is not in use, it adheres to the tailpiece and doesn't rattle around on the string..

The Original Kinder Chinder Chinrest Cover: Medium for 1/4 - 1/2 Violin Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My daughter (8) loves this chinrest cover. It keeps all the "pokey" parts of her 11" viola (same body as a 1/4 size violin) comfortably cushioned. With this chinrest cover she does not need a separate shoulder rest.

The Kinder Chinder is a lightly padded washable corduroy covering for the chinrest which extends around under the instrument to offer light padding for the shoulder as well. Comes in many different colors (color may not be specified). This is the original Kinder Chinder, not an imitation!
