I purchased this for an 8 year old who has been playing it now for some months. It's a great beginner's violin. It's not perfect - hence three stars for sound and quality, but in both cases the sound and quality are easily good enough for a child beginner, and in terms of cost / value, I don't really see how you could get any better.
Everything is good. The violin is made well. The strings are not the best quality, but again - good for the price and easily upgraded if needed. The bow is fine - tensions well and well made. After a week or two (new strings) it settles down nicely and keeps tune well. Now it tunes exclusively from the bridge if needed - so only tiny adjustments needed and this is probably from temperature more than the violin itself.
The teacher is pleased with it - she uses a 1/1 Stentor in her lessons as her "teaching" Violin. I'd certainly buy another.
