I'm so glad we bought these. The tone is so much better than the strings that came with my son's 1/2 violin. Highly recommended.

Cecilio CVN-100 Rosewood 1/4 Size Violin with Case and Accessories Review

Cecilio CVN-100 Rosewood 1/4 Size Violin with Case and Accessories
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This is a pretty good instrument to get a child started playing without having to worry about spending a lot of money on something they may put in their closet after a month or two. The sound quality is really pretty poor, so if the child really takes an interest in playing they may become discouraged by the sound quality, and you'll probably want to get a better quality one. Overall, it is something for a child to get their feet wet and see if they enjoy playing. Don't expect that great of sound quality though.

Cecilio CEVN-4W 4/4 Full Size Electric Silent Violin w/ Solidwood Ebony Fitted in Pearl White Metallic Review

Cecilio CEVN-4W 4/4 Full Size Electric Silent Violin w/ Solidwood Ebony Fitted in Pearl White Metallic
Average Reviews:

I was pleased with the nice sound and durable construction of this instrument. The electronics aren't really high quality. Comes with a good case which is more than adequate for the instrument and an "ok" bow (I prefer to use a different one). With the power off, it still sounds like a very heavily muted violin which might be adequate for practice for some players.

Knilling Bucharest Model 3/4 Violin Outfit (Perfection Pegs, Thermoplastic Case, Glasser Fiberglass Bow) Review

Knilling Bucharest Model 3/4 Violin Outfit (Perfection Pegs, Thermoplastic Case, Glasser Fiberglass Bow)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
My daughter started piano in the 3rd grade with private lessons every week and intensive practice. This past September, she added weekly Saxophone lessons but constantly played with an old violin I'd bought in China. She indicated she wanted to learn violin. What's especially important with any instrument, is that it's a quality instrument. With so many cheap violins out there that look attractive, they are horrible for beginners as the young student has to constantly tune them. What's great about this Romanian made violin is that it's quality is mind boggling. It actually stays in tune for days at a time. The other aspect is that so many parents fail to measure a child's arm. For my daughter, the 3/4 size will likely last for at least 3 years. Oh, I forgot to mention the sound of this violin... it's nearly perfect.

Musaica Fine Fittings - Heart Shaped 4/4 Violin Pegs in Rosewood with Ebony Accents Review

Musaica Fine Fittings - Heart Shaped 4/4 Violin Pegs in Rosewood with Ebony Accents
Average Reviews:

When you first get them, there are no holes to out strings through, so you have to pay a luthier to do that. Then they are too big, so you have to get them fitted to your violin/viola. It gets expensive. ($40-$65) BUT!
They are beatiful! It is easier to tune to the most accurate! Fine tuners are a thing of the past (EXCEPT E String for violin, but viola take them all off)! 3 Stars for overall price, and good looks and accuracy.
