My wife was inspired by some beautiful music with violin on YouTube and so she decided at age 70+ to learn to play. We checked out reviews on YouTube for the Eastar violin and decided to try it. Overall we are very pleased with the quality at this price. Hopefully, she will stick with it.

I’m very surprised and pleased with this violin. The sound quality is excellent, it’s on par with violins that cost much more. There’s a lot of cheap violins out there and I’m just excited I found this one that sounds so great at such a great price point.

Bought for a friend curious to learn. He loves it

This was bought to be a Christmas surprise for my daughter who has played violin for a few years now but always used the school violin. This was her one gift she wished for and she couldn't even play it today. The one string won't hold in place for tuning no matter what you do. We have experience tuning. Something is not right with how this was crafted. So sad her Christmas gift was ruined. I'll have to see if a violin store can help. Update: I was able to get the violin serviced and she is now able to play it. It's playing well , just as her last rented instrument. It's definitely great for kids if you're not wanting to spend a fortune. I gave 4 stars because of having to have it serviced upon receiving , and the disappointment my daughter experienced Christmas morning.

Sounds and crafted wonderfully.

I purchased 2 of these violins - one for me one for my sister. For someone who has always wanted to learn violin, this violin is perfect! Maybe it is not the highest quality instrument, but to me it is. I honestly love my violin. Maybe it didn't cost the most, maybe it doesn't make the most pristin sound to a professional, but that is okay. I didn't purchase this to perform professionally. This violin for me is a dream come true. Trying out my rosined bow and violin for the first time - I cannot explain the thrill!!! As someone else said - to me this violin is as wonderful as a Stradivarius. The sound is pristine, the feel of holding this dream in my hands is worth more than a million dollars. I would recommend this violin to anyone looking to start out on a musical journey. It is worth the money - it is worth the time.

As an adult who has always wanted try violin, and having some experience with musical instruments, what was included at this price point initially caught my eye. I purchased this setup on sale for just over $50, which would've been a great price just for the case, so I'm beyond impressed with the included instrument. Worried that it was just a VSO, I did a lot of research before choosing this one, and finally decided to take the risk. I'm so glad I did, as it immediately seemed to be a very playable starter violin, very comfortable and with a lovely tone. But what did I know, being new to violin? So brought it to a couple of friends to check it out, one who plays violin as a professional mariachi, and another an accomplished fiddler. They both concurred that it's perfectly lovely for my needs, and said I did really well to get it. The fiddler played it for about 40 minutes straight, literally didn't want to put it down, and it sounded especially gorgeous in his hands! He also remarked on how lightweight it is, and appreciated the smooth finish. I really do like the matte finish, which I feel imparts a higher quality feel, and makes the instrument less slippery. While you do need to install the bridge, there are plenty of YouTube videos out there for that. For those who aren't getting any sound out of the instrument, please understand you need to rosin the bow. As far as it not staying in tune, you need to push the tuning pegs gently in as you tune it so that they hold, as is the case with many (most?) violins, which is also explained online. As I've had it for a few months now, I have made a few upgrades; I purchased a better shoulder rest (The Everest, love it!), a nicer cake of rosin, and a carbon-fiber bow, but what came in the kit were certainly enough to give me started, giving me a chance to dabble with violin enough to decide that it's something I'd indeed like to pursue further. I feel this instrument, as long as it holds up, will suit my needs for at least the next several years.

I'm trying to learn to play on my own. A little tuff but I'll keep at it.

es muy bueno y sencillo muy facil para un principiante

I am a young adult, who recently discovered her love for the sound of the violin… so much so, that I decided to learn to play. This is my first time picking up the instrument, and I am having tons of fun learning all about it! (I have a little bit of experience with music, as I learned to play the piano when I was little.) I think for the (inexpensive) price, the quality met all of my expectations. The product required some assembly, but I had no problem with that. The pegs need to be pushed in tight to retain their positions—a child might need help with that. Also, the hairs on the bow seem to be a bit loose (they have snagged on the side of my violin a couple times while playing), but not a big deal, I assume I was just playing improperly. After a few days of practicing, setting up and tuning are more fluid for me now, and today I started recording myself playing some simple songs. It really is a cathartic experience! Overall, a great starter violin. I am a very happy customer.

Arrived early and was well packaged.
Briseida Barrera
Este violin es para principiantes solamente, es de buena calidad y magnifico sonido sin olvidar el buen servicio de la tienda.
JMSolko
What a great little instrument. To be perfectly transparent, Tlthis was a little tricky for me to set up. It took several you tube videos for me to get it right. Afterwards forever my daughter has had a lot of fun practicing. I think this is a great beginner violin. It obviously sounds pretty terrible right now when she plays but she's having fun so I'm excited about that.
Ed C.
This is an entry level violin. Craftsmanship and sound quality is average. However, you must consider the price of the unit into an overall rating. When you factor the price into it. It now becomes a very good violin for the price. If you factor in customer service. Now it becomes an excellent beginner violin. I had some issues with my violin when I received it. The company responded immediately and took care of the issue. They apologized and made it right.
Simonekarl
Für den Preis ein echt schönes Schmuckstück, Beschreibung ist auch einfach erklärt und macht sich ganz schön auf der Wand

Your browser does not support HTML5 video. It fits very well and is great for beginners. The sound quality also reverbs very well!
Customer
Everything is great except for having to put the strings on myself which I don't know how to do. My last violin came strung and tuned. A little disappointing because I had to wait a month before someone could string it for me.
Mujtaba
Bought this instrument for my son. He is loving every bit of it. Easy to handle and great sound
Shahid
Wow!! It’s a good decision to buy this stunning Violin, much satisfied with the price and quality. It seems to be durable and also came with a gorgeous black color bag to take it anywhere safely. I’m a beginner; my music teacher suggested me this violin.
Erika munoz
I played violin for 10 years but stopped for 7 years so I got this one to teach myself again. You can definitely tell the quality based on the price. I’ve played on violins valued over $800 and I can tell a huge difference BUT it’s perfectly functional and good enough for a practice violin. It comes with so much stuff I was honestly not expecting it all. Two bridges, extra strings, rosin, electric tuner. Im excited
Monarch
This violin is gorgeous, beautifully made and perfect for a beginner or professional. I got it for my daughter who just started learning and she loves it. The sound and craftsmanship quality is amazing. So if you’re just starting out, not wanting to spend too much money, this violin is a great choice.
Turqouise
My daughter wants to learn music to play outside of school so far she loves it.
Ally R
It is a great violin for beginners, i have been wanting to get back to playing for a few years. i got the biggest size. Better fit for an adult. It does come with four extra strings as back up. The shoulder rest sits perfectly. It is a great bundle. The color is beautiful and looks as great as the music store ones.
Aperture Creek
I play guitar and have always wanted to try my hand at cello but decided to check out the violin first, after doing a little research I made of list of everything I'll need and this package checked it all off and then some. Before we even get to the violin I have to brag on the case, if I found a guitar version of this case I would gladly pay twice what this entire package cost just for that because it is a nice case, everything from the smooth interior to the magnets to the compartments is a great touch. I had to do a little sleuthing to figure out how to set this guy up and it was pretty easy, the bridge stays on via tension and I recommend using the smaller tuning legs bear the bridge rather than the ones at the other end, the other thing I'll mention is that a bow will not make noise across violin strings without rosin so make sure you add it, simply drag something across the surface of the rosin block to scrape up some dust and then take your bow across the block repeatedly. The sound is good, it projects great and It held tune after a 20 minute session, the body is elegant and smooth, I still sound like a beginner and so long as I do it's not going to be pretty but that's no fault of the instrument, after looking up notes and chords and playing them alone I can tell that they were accurate and would sound amazing together. I was playing the opening to twinkle twinkle little star within half an hour of setting it up, I have a little advantage because playing guitar and understanding tabs will give you a small boost but it's still another world, if I can do it anyone can. I would recommend this to anyone and look forward to my time with it, it's definitely a good instrument to learn on if you ask me.
Gayle M.
This is a beautiful violin & it comes with everything that is needed to get started. Plus, it sounds better than I expected for the price! Over the past year during quarantine, I've learned to play several different instruments & the violin is the most interesting one so far. I recommend this to anyone who is interested in starting off.
morganreeps
Good violin for my child. She’s still a beginner so it’s a good fit. She’s happy.
Half Life
For the price this was a great violin for me to get familiar with a violin. I was able to tune it and play scales on it. The case alone was worth the price. I will upgrade in the near future, but for now this was a great purchase for me to begin on.
thomas g yaccino
I was really impressed by the quality of the instrument and the beautiful case and all the accessories that came with it. My son loves it and I am very impressed for what we got for the price.
Lynn Harris
I played violin a little bit when I was a teenager, but totally forgot how to play again. This violin is a very good start instrument for beginner like me, and hopefully I can improve skill day by day
Zemira
Comes with everything you need to begin playing violin, or even f you are already playing, this is definitely a great violin, for a decent price.
Pamela
Beautiful! I can't wait to learn how to play it! So far so good
M. Makobitski
I'm in my thirties, I always wanted to know to play the violin and I read some articles online, that it is never too late to start to learn how to play the violin, And I was looking for a violin that on the one hand would not be too expensive but on the other hand would be playable, and I think I did find, - I found this violin, although the sound does not equal the sound of professional violins, but certainly reasonable, and certainly suitable for beginners, the violin comes with all the necessary accessories - strings , Resin, (bad quality) case, and electronic tuner, overall I am very satisfied.
Serena
Great value and great for beginners.
Jen
I tried for months to give it a chance but i cant anymore. I had to buy new strings, because the ones that came were bad. The pegs dont even fit in the wholes they make squeeky sounds just trying but dont budge. I had to RESTRING them at least over 15 times in the 4 or 5 times i tried to use it. Definitely will not recommend for beginner. Tuning and restringing are totally different things. Tuning is very common for any violin.... But the pegs giving up and the strings being let go is a no no. Personally for having motivation to practice this violin made me discouraged and wanting to stay away from the labor that comes with it... Just horrible.
Wyatt Watson
Great for beginners. Very cheap and reliable for a first violin.
deborah harris
Perfect for a beginner
Brandon McMullen
I ended up getting this for my girlfriend for her birthday and I was amazed with how it looked! Came in a nice case, the wood looked clean, and came with extra strings! Would recommend for beginners!
Thelma W. Brown
Violin Bow of the violin is bent
Angela Ervin
it's good for beginners when you dont need a high quality violin. it definitely works but setting it up as a beginner kinda sucks
R Gaus
Bought this to learn on. I replaced the strings right away which improved sound quality. The bow will be next. Violin itself is well enough made and sound quality is fine. It's an inexpensive instrument so I didn't expect anything more. The dots marking the first fret are a bit out of place, though. Original strings also wouldn't hold a tune through a full hour's practice.
Gypsy
This is a great package deal for beginners. I’m extremely happy with my purchase! It comes complete with everything you need to get started on your musical adventure!

Good for beginners.
minnesota mom
Good sound and seems to be good craftsmanship. Son has a different brand violin at this price point, and this Eastar sounds dramatically better.
brown
I like the violin very much. It's cheap, but it works well for me when I'm a beginner. The sound is nice, too.
David
Great value for the price
Laura
Purchased for my 12 year old son's first fiddle. Good sound quality. Very good bow. Craftsmanship better than expected for the price. We would order again if we needed another.
Merielen Vasquez
My niece love it she enjoy almost every day.
Mark S.
Great beginner instrument. Good sound quality.
Mama
Very nice beginners violin for the money!
Alexander Martinez
Very good violin for beginners only. I wouldn't recommend using it professionally though. It's much better if you buy a more suitable violin.
Joshua Ibañez
Amazing for beginners !!
Malik
For a beginner, this has got to be the best deal ever! You get a full size 4/4 violin with case and accessories (shoulder rest, rosin, extra bridge and extra strings) The build and quality is very impressive for a beginner. It’s hard to justify a few hundred dollars for a beginner, but for this price, it’s a perfect “try out” to see if this journey continues. The sound is very nice and robust. The violin does require setup as it ships without the bridge in place. Highly recommend an experienced player/teacher help you as it is a bit involved if you don’t know what it supposed to sound like. Because you of course will need to tune it. The case is awesome. It has backpack straps and the padding and secure strap inside are great quality. The tuning pegs are well-fitted and need to be pushed in to set the tension/friction to keep in place as you turn. Overall, I am so happy with this purchase!
Tiffany
My son's music teacher thought this was a great buy for a student just getting started. It sounds better every week lol
Customer
It’s great for beginners! I’m a music teacher teaching beginning lessons and I’m rusty so I got this one for myself to practice. Very sturdy case. Good strong bow. Easy to tune. Would definitely recommend for those wanting to begin inexpensively.
Kyaira Walton
Great for beginners but quality is a little on the lower end side. It was great for my daughter starting orchestra and seeing if she is going to enjoy it before we get a higher quality violin for her.
Sandra
I am new to the violin. It is a beautiful violin. As for it being of sound quality or for beginners I have to rate as neutral.
Abc123
Obviously not the best sound quality, but I only paid about $70 for it and I enjoyed playing enough now that I've upgraded to a Cremona. Really wonderful if you're not 100% sure if you'll enjoy playing. The markings on the fingerboard were so incredibly helpful pair this violin along with the Essential Elements Violin book and you'll be on your way! I'd get some better rosin though besides that this little package is amazing for the price. Happy playing!
sophia
I ordered this violin for my boy, he just starts learning violin for a month. He loves it! It comes with a case which easy to carry. Very reasonable price, if you are looking for violin for beginner that is the one you should get.
mona
I know nothing about violins, but my son is picking it up, practicing nonstop, and the instrument has served him well. I definitely recommend this for a beginner, sounds good, well made.
Customer
It's great for beginners!
Jesse F.
This was a gift for my wife. She loves it. Very nice craftsmanship.
Namit Mohale
This violin is perfect for beginners. I already know how to play the guitar. And now for a new start, this violin is the best. The sound is great, strings are strong, and the box contains everything you need to get started with violin.
Kindle Customer
Really liked this for a beginner. The craftsmanship is amazing and price doesn't break the bank
Qin Huang
I brought this for myself to pick up the skills I once had. It is really the perfect buy. It comes with one bow which I only wish there is a spare but it is enough. Two bridges, extra strings, an electric toner that I also tone my guitar with, should rest and a light weight hard case will come as part of the whole package. The violin itself has four fine toners that allows you to find adjust the sound. Very nice and worth every penny spent. Highly recommend.
Bob
It's a gift for someone. Watched some review videos on Youtube about this product and it has good recommendations. The sound of the violin is pretty good for this price. Might need a better bow in the future but all is good for a beginner at the start I guess. It's good value to have everything needed in a package. The world needs more good music.
C. rap
I bought the violin for my 11 year old child and I'm really happy. I did not know that you can buy a reasonable violin for a child to learn at such a good price. Also it is very useful that it arrives with a case and replacement strings (one has already snapped) and rosin which is of mediocre quality. It is worth adding that the sound of the violin is not very professional but it is excellent for beginners.
Jack
I've been playing guitar for 15 years and wanted to try playing the violin to learn my favorite movie songs and irish fiddle tunes. This package is TREMENDOUS value. I have owned many instruments, and I know quality when I see it. For 120 bucks... Just wow. The finish is great, the pegs aren't perfect, but stay in tune quite well. The fine tuners are awesome, better than my floyd rose on my jackson wrxt guitar (convenience wise). You get 1 bow, a tuner, a very nice case (for the price its very attractive), and some good smelling rosin lol. It cost me alot more to get started on guitar. Guitar is easier in my opinion, because bowing and picking are 2 different monsters. But practice makes perfect, and for the price, this thing is perfect. Extremely satisfied, its so pretty I cant stop staring at it.
clark song
Great violin for my 10 years old, good for beginners.
Denise
Doesn’t seem like the most sturdy or high quality but for the money it’s good so far. Not easy to tune, so you’ll need patience for that.
ryan kreutz
I have been playing this violin for about a month now and it is great for the price you pay. You need to tune her a lot, but that is just another skill you get to practice. I would definitely recommend this product, it is a steal. PS - I would get a tuner app for your smart phone as well because the tuner that comes with it can be weird at times, I tend to use both at the same time to get an idea of how it is going.
Luna
El producto estuvo bien lo malo fue que no llego el día de entrega.y eso que pago amazon prime
Customer
It’s exactly what I was looking for to learn how to play on.
Michelle Rivera
The craftsmanship is good. Would say for beginners it’s good but the sound quality isn’t that great.
jacelina
It’s perfect and looks like the picture
Hannah
It is an awesome violin for the price!!
VINCENZO CRISCI
Beautiful instrument , well crafted ,better than just for beginners
Kristy
Easy to tune, great sound. Comes nicely package so Nothing gets damaged.
Kimberley L. Diaz
It’s a beautiful instrument. Although, the painted dots on the neck of the violin are just a hair off.
keril88
I bought this for my daughter for Christmas. She has been wanting one so she can learn to play. It’s very lightweight but well made. I love that it comes with the case and all the extras. It is definitely perfect for beginners! Money well spent.
Rachelle
This is a very decent violin for the price. It also has all of the essential accessories to get you by. I needed a temporary one, and this is a functional instrument that meets most of my needs. You won't find a better instrument at this range. I did four stars rather than five because the bow and strings are simply awful, yes I know they do the job... but they leave much to be desired. I would suggest getting different strings, some really good budget ones are Prelude and Pro Arte by D'Adarrio. Would I recommend this? It depends on what you want! If you just want to experiment and see if you're interested in violin or if you need a temporary one for whatever reason, buy it. For what you pay this is excellent, I suppose I'm just fussy because I know what a fine instrument is like.
Customer
Get for beginner even though my sister used to play back in school I still got her the beginner one. She loves her Christmas gift definitely worth it. One small thing the strings seems like they can break if you tighten them too tight so go to someone professional just in case
Tanya
Gave to my stepdaughter for Christmas who has never played. It is easy to handle and sounds great!
Michael Ellis
very nice beginner violin but just a tad scratchy but hey it’s good for the money
Suzanne Sullivan
The violin is very pretty and I like that it came with all the accessories. The case seems very sturdy. We did find that you have to tune the violin pretty much every time you take it out of the case. We tried using the tuner that came with it, but found that using an app on your phone works better because you can actually hear what the note is supposed to sound like. Overall I feel like it was a good buy for a beginner.
Chris
Great value for the price, great to just play around with if you have no experience, slowly able to start making noise that sounds like music
Stephanie montano
Very happy with purchase, I'm teaching my daughter how to play and this violin is perfect for beginners

This seems like a fantastic violin for beginners and those with experience alike. My teenage daughter has enjoyed playing it since the day it arrived.

Works well for my 11 year old who is still learning. Good beginners instrument.
