I ordered this for my daughter who needed it for her first year in middle school orchestra. Having no knowledge of violins, the first thing I did when I received it was to take it to her music teacher to check it over for me. She was thoroughly impressed with its quality and said it was far better than the other instruments from internet purchases she has seen in the past. The carrying case seems to be of good quality as well. It arrived very quickly and well packaged. The only other thing I can share is that my daughter loves it!

Rosin was dried, chalky, brittle, and unuseable. I had to discard it. Not a particularly good value.

D'Addario Kaplan Premium Dark Rosin is suitable for violin, viola, and cello bows and the special Kaplan recipe produces less dust, keeping hands and instruments cleaner. This premium Kaplan mixture and process produces extremely find-grained rosin. The rosin comes attached to the inside of the applicator case, which "locks" shut for clean, easy storage in an instrument case or bag. Once the tabs are squeezed to open the case, the rosin is then applied right from the case, where it can be rotated for uniform wear and maximum use.

Anton Breton 3/4-Size Student Violin Outfit with Free Celebration of Classical Music CD Review

Anton Breton 3/4-Size Student Violin Outfit with Free Celebration of Classical Music CD
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Having been a music teacher for a couple of years, I was a bit apprehensive about purchasing a violin without having played it first. My daughter dropped her violin and broke off the scroll and we needed a replacement that wouldn't be too expensive since her last violin ended up 'dead'. SO after going through the process of setting up the bridge, I was pleased to hear the sound quality of the Breton. Seriously, I was hoping that the instrument would sound better than a box for my 10 year old and to my suprise it had a large and rounded tone - very pleased. Plus the case is also super light- a definite plus for a girl who carries a heavy backpack to school. So here's the negatives, the pegs are awful and I ended up replacing the pegs from the previous violin. Also, the bow is very cheap and not a good quality but with lots of rosin, plays okay. Overall, considering the price, I feel like I really got my money's worth. A nice sounding instrument for the price.

Cremona SV-1750 Maestro Special Edition Violin, Full-Size Review

Cremona SV-1750 Maestro Special Edition Violin, Full-Size
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I bought this violin four years ago when I first entered high school and I needed something other than the cheap 100 dollar violin that I learned to play on and played for 6 years. I went to several music stores and browsed around, but when I saw this violin I fell in love. The picture does not do the violin justice. It is a gorgeous instrument with delicately inlaid purfling. It is very unique, and I've received a lot of compliments on it. However, of course the look of it is definitely not all you should focus on in terms of a violin. From my experience in these last few years, the Cremona is a huge step up from the sound of my student violin. It has a beautifully deep tone that is perfect for classical music, but is very adaptable. I personally love playing fiddle music with it because the sound is high and bright, and fun. I used the violin to play in my school orchestra, a smaller Chamber Orchestra in the community and in my violin class at a local elementary school. The price tag is hefty (I know) but I've had this violin for nearly five years, and I couldn't be happier with it's sound and look. It's a violin to keep for a lifetime.
Hope I helped,
Gabryel

Ultra Rubber Practice Mute for Violin Violin Review

Ultra Rubber Practice Mute for Violin Violin
Average Reviews:

This is a good product. I have no complaints about the product itself. It works well and I would suggest this particular one.
However, the shipping cost was more than the product itself. I bought this online because I live in a rural area without easy access to a good music supply store.
Otherwise I would recommend buying the product locally or the next time you made a trip to a larger city with a good music supply house.
This was no fault of Amazon. A 3rd party supplier shipped it and while they got it to me in a timely manner and sent updated catalogs for their products (which I will probably purchase in the future) the shipping costs for this particular item was outrageous. I will be more careful when ordering in the future to pay attention to the shipping costs on each product.

Full Size Violin 4 x 4 With Case - Green Review

Full Size Violin 4 x 4 With Case - Green
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I bought this product thinking it would be a good beginners violin for myself. My standards were kind of low...and I have to say that when I received this package I was disappointed.
1.) The color you see in the picture is not correct. It's more of a [really shiny] blueish-green. It's not a pretty color. Plus, it wasn't painted very well. There are paint dots where a clump has dried, on the front!
2.) The strings where tangled up. Took me forever to fix it.
3.) The strings were not placed in the correct order to begin with. [1243?]
4.) String 1 [being G] was broken at the top close to the peg-- and couldn't be correctly tuned.
5.) I couldn't get one of the pegs to stay in its place.
All in all, the violin I received made my low standards seem like a far-off distant place. Unreachable by the violin entirely.
However, I do actually believe that if you restring it as soon as you get it -- it might not seem so bad. The bow is pretty durable. Also, the wood is nice. Better than some.
