For the price it is a good one. We are using this for the school.

I started my lessons with this instrument a few years ago and I have had no regrets. Nothing in this beginner instrument has limited my ability to learn and love the violin. My biggest problem has been finding the time to practice!

However, if you strings break, I suggest asking your instructor for appropriate string replacements for beginners. Don't get the cheap amazon strings, since you will find it much easier to hit the right notes with good name brand strings.

Don't get nice strings from the get-go, though, just in case the violin is not for you. It's not an easy instrument!

Nicely made and came with essential accessories.

THE PRICE IS RIGHT, GREAT FOR A BEGINNER!

I’m a lifelong pianist and got this violin for fun with no experience and no expectations. For the price, it is an irresistible “deal” but what I like the most is knowing that some unknown luthiers in China (!) made this, and now I have it and it sounds fine. Of course if you have higher requirements than I, you might choose a different one but for me, it’s quite all right, sounds nice and it’s part of the family now. We’re happy with it.
