(More customer reviews)I've been playing for a long time (and lately been building) and have a lot of violins. I got this as a gift for a friend (it ended up coming back to me). This is a decent factory fiddle, and actually sounds alright. Mine is 4/4 though. Set up was excellent out of the box (I flatened the bridge a little, and put on helicore strings as I use this for cross tuned old time a lot). This is my main camp fire fiddle, and sounds surprisingly decent. Although I feel a beginner should just go to a violin specific shop, and drop $150, which is more than what you pay on the internet, at least you start a relationship with someone who can do set up, and the pegs won't slip, the bridge will be set correctly, and you will have someone who will answer questions and reset the sound post when the violin gets dropped. However (remember, mine is 4/4), this is a decent beginner fiddle, and probably a little better that what you will get for $150 at a violin shop. The actual carving is real rough, scroll, nut, etc, but the things sound pretty decent. The tail piece is ok, though not as smooth as a whitner, and the chin rest is nice. Summary, sounds good (more mellow, not too loud or bright, good for beginners - actual workmanship and wood used is low/rough/machine made, but even still, set up out of the box was right on the money - plays and sounds good).
