Good beginner-violin

Josef T. 263, 10.06.2013

I am not a violin-player. We bought this for our daughter as a beginners instrument. The sound is not so impressive. It keeps tuning and plays the selected tones but with no sustain whatsoever. But the build-quality is what surprised me, feels very well built and the finish is excellent. So considering that my daughter will grow out of this violin it feels as a very good starter instrument.

The bow is replaced now after a few months. The horse-hair gets stuck in Velcro holding the bow on place which resulted in that all the hair falls of.

For the price a good beginner instrument

eyas, 14.11.2012

The violin in general: As a grown-up, I decided to play the violin a little more than a year ago, and this instrument was given to me. In the face of the ubiquitous warnings of factory-made low-cost fighters, I was, of course, afraid that she was no good at all. This fear has not been confirmed. It meets my requirements as a beginner full. The sound is pleasant (with some higher quality strings). My teacher was surprised at the good sound of the instrument. So far the violin has given me no limits when learning, I think, and I like to play them.

Processing: You see glue spots and my violin had a small scratch from the beginning. The vertebrae were not well adjusted. A and D are very difficult, E and G very easy. But there can be something to do. The A string snarls a bit in the pizzicato for an unknown reason. Do not bother - usually you have the bow in your hand.

The bow: The bow is very basic. He holds the collophone bad. After about 8 months he was played. Compared to other sheets, its clamping force is quite low. When I first held another bow in my hand, I was surprised at how easy it is and how fine it reacts. If I had made this experience a little earlier, I would have bought another bow earlier. But for the bumped first arcs the basic arc is enough. We are then all the more pleased with the sensitivity of the new.

Case: Not particularly elegant but functional. One has first one. It fits everything you need. You can carry it in your hand or on your back. You should not go for a walk. The suspensions for the arch are not ideal. But, as I said, there is no 1000 euro sheet in it.

Conclusion: I think this is a very suitable tool for beginners who are looking for their own instrument, but are not yet sure how long they can or want to do the hobby. Of course also for children / teenagers, with whom one does not know how long the mood holds. The included strings I would replace as soon as possible. And the bow is only for the first months. For the price you can not expect an absolutely perfect instrument. In the price-performance ratio I find the set absolutely succeeded.
