Aileen Violin 4/4 Full Size for Beginners with Fingerboard Sticker, User Manual, Hard Case, Bow, Rosin, Bridge, and Polishing Cloth

Great value for money, easy enough to tune, looks impressive for price. Sound quality as expected

Horrendous cheap flimsy piece of poo!!! Bits broken all over definitely not worth the money. You can't even tightened the strings even the bow was messed up Sending it back straight away Can't believe the state of it great bday present for my son!?

It's a great violin: high resonance, stays in tune with some help, bridge is well-shaped compared to similar experiences. One note though, you need to pour rosin on the toners for them to not slip which was a little annoying, and there are rosin stains everywhere on my violin now which shouldn't be a problem if you know what you're doing (I didn't at the time), the strings can be a little low quality but wasn't expecting much more considering the price range and it is a great experience as a starter to learn the violin. (I'm not expecting to play violin professionally)

I have bought this violin as I wanted to start a new instrument. Due to the price my expectations were extremely low, however, I have found this to be a great product. The violin itself looks well made, it comes in a semi-rigid cover with a front pocket and internal pocket, I can easily fit the violin, bow, rosin, sound silencer, and shoulder rest. In the start the pegs will slip, I have found in many places that any violin will do that, is just a matter of pushing them in and if required, put some rosin around the peg. Overall, I am very happy with this product. Have all the equipment needed to start with this, considering the price, it's a really good offer. The only thing that I found to be bad with this violin were the strings, I had to change them as the sound produced was quite strident. However, I have been told by many professionals that violins of any cost range usually come with bad/old strings, so this is not a flaw of this product itself.

Made from plastic and not the best quality, but for a beginner violin it's perfect, might need to get a better bow but otherwise not bad for the price

Daughter is over the moon with it but don’t think the neigbours are

I spent a day and a half trying to tune this thing but the pegs were so loose they would bounce back and unravel, trying to force them in tighter meant I couldn't twist them without having to reposition the violin and use my right hand to turn them making the simple task of tuning impossible, rendering the violin useless. DO NOT BOTHER. P.s. that's not mentioning how terrible the rosin is -excessive dust- , how in shambles the carry case is, or how messy the hair on the bow was. The stick on finger board is useless because it's in black and you make out the letters looking directly at it neverimd from the angle of properly holding the violin. The fact this is so cheap should tell you how useless this item is, its effectively a showpiece that looks cheap. I sent back for a full refund and bought a Stentor instead, even adding £100 to the cost makes a massive difference to this junk. If I could afford a £500 piece, I would but for now my advice is - if you pay 10% of what it cost for a decent, respectable piece, expect the same percentage in usability, durability, design and quality. This is the kind of thing you'd buy for kids who clearly aren't that interested because then it doesn't matter if it works, they never use it properly anyway, may as well save yourself money. Otherwise save yourself the headache of tuning way longer than ever should be necessary and go for the stentor student violins, which according to most compare websites, besides Mendini and the clearly more expensive ones, Stentor offer the best quality violins for students.

I’m a professional multi-instrumentalist and I bought this due to its low cost and quick delivery to basically satisfy academic curiosity. I’ve never played a violin before, but I’ve been in a duo with a leading fiddle player so I know what good sounds like. I also compose using top industry samples - among them solo violins - and all round I’m really impressed. This violin sounds great. Warm, clean, great clarity, robust bottom end. For a beginner it’s ideal as you are satisfied with the sound you produce quickly. Intonation is easy to navigate; there are no surprises about a pitch being in two different places on the same string. Takes a while to find its tuning but only a couple of hours of playing (basically it will keep de-tuning itself when you first play as the strings need to stretch out to their elastic limits before they’ll maintain a steady pitch; it’s totally normal). It looks great. Certainly doesn’t look cheap - at least to my eye - and I instantly felt like it had character on taking it out of the case. But the most amazing thing is the price. Considering you get about £40’s worth of case chucked in it really is staggering. If you’re new to the violin, you could do far worse. And for something that will bring years of joy and creativity and hopefully imbue you with a life skill, £40 is nothing.

Une corde déjà pétée à la première utilisation lors de l'accordage !!!!!!

En términos generales , es un producto muy completo, cumple con la función requerida y exigida minimamente. Nada que objetar.

Davvero molto curato, idoneo a chi desidera avvicinarsi allo studio dello strumento. L'ho regalato ed è stato molto gradito

Jag är imponerad! betydligt bättre än jag trodde, lätt att stämma, håller stämningen mycket bra! god ton, snyggt byggd, bra stråke, kort sagt, ett fynd. Att en så bra väska var med, är imponerande! gedigen och stabil. Har olika violiner, från 1709-tal, och en fransk från 1936, dyr, men denna blir en perfekt övningsvioilin i köket, gillar den skarpt. Byter nog strängar, med tiden men kan bara lovorda denna violin, hur kan den vara så billig? men ändå så bra? Köp den, testa den, du blir imponerad, tack Amazon.

Beau, solide pour un prix défiant toute concurrence
