I was a bit nervous after I told my violin teacher that I’d bought a beginner’s violin because she said, well we’ll see, because not all violins are created equal, but I was relieved when she looked it over and said yes, it’s one of the better ones and it will do the job perfectly.
Following my first lesson, my homework was to just spend time with my violin, to sit with it on my knee etc while I’m watching tv or relaxing and just get to know it, to start building a relationship with it and so it’s next to me all the time and when I can I’m holding it and I have definitely fallen in love with it, although if I’m honest, I fell in love with it right out of the box. I’m autistic and have adhd and I am currently recovering from a severe burnout so I’m relying on money from benefits to get by, so I’m soooo grateful I was able to purchase such a good quality instrument, with the case and tuner and everything I need really, to get started, because not only is this the start of the greatest love affair of my life, but it is going to benefit me hugely in so many ways. So I can’t thank this company enough for making this a possibility for me. I feel like the luckiest girl in the world ❤️.

Excellent quality and at such an amazing price

Unfortunately I didn't realise that I'd bought a child size violin (I actually needed an adult size) so just be careful about what size you buy. But the violin itself is lovely for the price. You do need to set it up completely yourself (including the bridge) and there are no instructions included so you'll need to look this up unless you're experienced. But I liked the sound. I've now bought a different make of full size violin but I'll sell this one on if I'm unable to return it.

I’m very much a beginner to every thing to do with music. It was definitely fun to set up this violin. I found all the information I needed watching YouTube video. This violin is gorgeous. I know it’s supposed to be beginners and kids but I got the larger size. The case is beautiful and had everything you need to carry along with you. I started by adding in the bridge the correct way. I attempted to tune the violin and ended up breaking a string. Luckily the kit comes with a few extra strings. I could not get the digital tuner to work. It powers on and I set it to violin attached it to the violin but the scale wouldn’t move. Not sure what I did wrong. I tightened the bow and added the rosin which was also included. And at last I was playing notes. I recommend this violin. It’s great quality, a beautiful piece with a nice case and everything you need to get started.
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.
Peace&harmony
This violin comes complete with bow and case
Looks good and is the size my granddaughter needs
She has taken it into school and they have tuned it so she is all set now for learning how to play
They said it’s really well made and good value with the case so well laid out for protection to the violin and the bow and a few accessories
Very pleased and good value

Bought this cause my daughter is learning. Looks even better than what her school was loaning students. Looks well made and well designed. Very functional and delivers the sound. Hope it is durable.
Amanda
I’m at my 20s and recently I thought about picking up a new hobby and my interests on violin brought me here! It was great! Aesthetically pleasing, really love how the violin looks! And it doesn’t sound crappy, sounds elegant just how I picture my first violin would be, worth the price! It got you everything you needed for starter, great one! Really recommend

My six years old daughter showed interest in learning violin so I joined her in music class and got this violin for her as per her teacher's suggestion. It is of perfect size for her to practise violin in her class and home. It seems well designed for learners with finger positions markers. It is of lightweight and looks beautiful.
The violin looks beautiful with an excellent smooth finish. It came with many extra accessories like a hard case, a digital tuner, bow and wax and extra set of strings so we do not have to buy any extra. The hard case looks sturdy enough to protect the violin and makes it easy to carry around. After watching couple of youtube videos, we easily tuned it up with the help of provided digital tuner. But it would be better if it would come with some instruction in the package too. It has a decent sound. My daughter loves to keep playing it in her free time and has fun.
In a nutshell, it is a nice and a good quality violin to anyone who wants to learn or play the violin without spending much money. It is well designed and comes with everything you need. So I definitely recommend this.
Pickyme
Nice looking. I like that everything is included. Just the right size for our petite 8 year old with a little room to grow. I played violin and viola for many years and look forward to teaching my granddaughter.
Bluenikko
This violin is light weight and beautifully made, I'm actually impressed with the finishing quality especially considering the cost I paid for it. This is a complete set with all necessary accessories and a hard carrying case to begin with violin learning for kids. I bought it for my son to see how he will develop the interest of playing violin at home and I'm glad I made this decision. The product is well worth the money in my opinion and the sound is good too, with the quality and fun time spent with my son playing this violin I become much happier during tough times through the pandemic lockdown.
Titi
I got this violin as a gift for my daughter who already played other string instruments and wanted to learn how to play the violin. The violin came with everything she needed to get started and also included a case for easy transportation. Being a beginner, she went on YouTube to learn how to set up the bridge, it took her a maximum of 15 minutes to set everything up and get going. The sound was decent and the design is also beautiful.
Scott
I've always wanted to get a violin but back in my day classical instruments were crazy expensive. This was a great price for an instrument I've always wanted to play. It came with everything a person would need to get started and the case it came in was crazy nice very firm and two pockets one on the outside and one on the inside to store the included rosin, tuner, extra set of strings, shoulder support,and extra bridge. After watching a few YouTube videos on how to set it up and what notes to tune the strings and apply rosin to the bow. I was happily squeaking and getting some notes. It's sweet how there are dots layer out on the fretboard. I was playing a few super easy songs within half hour. I got a super long way to go on doing concerts but by the end of my playing the tones I was getting were great. I'm super happy with the violin and have to practice up to show off my new favorite instrument. If you want something to jam on I feel the value and quality are fantastic, would super recommend.
Jessica
We purchased this violin for my daughter to begin lessons. The teacher acted as though it would not keep a tune and let my daughter borrow and extra violin that she claimed was better. However, her "better" one doesn't seem to hold a tune any better than this one. This one looks nice and quality isnt far from the borrowed one.
SA
Soooo I got this about 2 weeks go and have been waiting to give to my nephew for his bday. He's a beginner so didn't want to spend much incase he looses interest. During COVID, he's trying to keep himself busy by learning new things...
The violin was sturdy enough for an 8 yr old. His mother loved the fact it came with a carrying bag and all the essentials like the pointer or marker whatever you may call it.. size was perfect for him. Happy nephew = happy buyer lol...
Pamela
Shocked about the quality and I mean that in a good way!
Good size for beginners to hold and I am finding it rather fun to learn on.
Handy dandy little tuner is great oh and the littke tag with the cords on is a nice little touch the case is so nice the bf is trying to steal it fir his very expensive violin lol
Moe
For any beginners this is perfect! The quality is amazing and it comes with a lot of extra tools to help you! I loved that it came with a tuner which made my life easier. It’s so worth the money!!! Highly recommend it for someone taking interest in violin or even someone who plays already! I’m so excited to keep on learning! Love it
R
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.
NatalliD
I was pleasantly surprised by the tone of this violin. It sounds really nice, even with my 7-year-old playing it.
Laura
Beautiful set. Comes with everything you need. Carrying case, extra strings, tuner etc. Beautiful quality sturdy set. Great starter kit for any beginner. The wood is flawless. It is very sturdy but lightweight. The case provides excellent protection. Straps violin in so it does not move. Cloth goes over violin for extra protection.v
Aaron
Violin was one of my quarantine hobbies and i really just wanted a decent one for a cheap price. This delivers well, the first bridge broke when i was trying to tune which was normal. Im glad they put in an extra one which was really helpful. I was able to learn basics in 2 weeks so I’m quite a happy camper. For the price i paid I couldn’t ask for more
Slim
I love this violin! I played for a short time as a child, so it was nostalgic to play again. It has a lot of extras, including a tuner and resin. The sound quality is wonderful and it's perfect for beginners. It's absolutely beautiful and the craftsmanship is amazing. If you want to buy a quality violin, this is perfect for you.
Minh
Good box, package came ok.
it supposed fit me but the size seem not. Sounds came out ok. It doesn’t fit so I decided to gift it to a friend.
As the results:
HE LOVES IT! He said the quality and materials is nice. He used it for his photoshoot and pic came out well! For the price and beginners this is a very good design and craftsmanship!
Tran
In my opinion this violin was worth its price. I love how it came with all the accessories instead of buying it separately. The sound quality that came out was was surprisingly not bad at all I was amazed by it. It has a small rich tone to it. The bow was light as well easily to play without much force! The craftsmanship was on point there was no flaws when I open the box. This is perfect for a beginner.
Adrian
This is my first ever violin I have purchased and so far it has been a great experience. Setting up the violin was very easy watching some YouTube videos. The wood panel and tuning knob of the violin looks like a very high-quality material. You can tell that overall it is hand-made! It also comes with all the necessary accessories. Overall, great purchase!
Kallinger
For two months, I found myself improving at a promising rate and very happy with my purchase. I kept it in the case it came with, safe and sound.
Katie
We bought this for our daughter who is beginning to learn violin. The price is reasonable with the quality of the violin. Everything she needs to start is in the hard case: violin and bow, shoulder rest, rosin, tuner (love this tuner), extra bridge and extra strings set.
You may need to tune and retune several times for the tune to set. However, with stringed instruments you need to tune almost every single time before playing.
*Tip for beginners:
-Make sure to push the tuning peg in when you tune. Use the fine-tune mechanism if needed.
-Apply rosin to your bow or else you won't make any sound. You may want to scratch the resin first before applying.

Great quality and value for a set like this. It'll fit the hands of a 7-9 year old quite well. I'm used to a full size violin but the sound from this one is great. Everything's solid and easy to setup. Especially since kids are growing, this is a great option for them since it'll be outgrown in a couple of years. The included accessories like the tuner, shoulder rest, strings and an extra bridge (which trust me, kids will break!) are great especially considering the price. Overall I couldn't recommend this enough to parents looking for a violin for their young kids. It's also very nice how the fretboard is marked for them, although with time a good ear is all you'll need.

We started out with a 1/2 sized violin and are trying out the 3/4 sized violin. Eventually, we will need a full sized 4/4 violin. So our options were to rent an instrument or to buy an affordable one knowing that it will be replaced. Compared to renting, we will have received full value for this purchase. The tuning pegs are good enough to get within fine tuning range and each string comes with fine adjustment tuners. This 3/4 violin holds the tuning for the duration of practice sessions and has good volume. The strings did stretch for a few days and settling in. The violin comes with all the basic items needed to get started: a case for transportation and storage, a bow and rosin, the bridge, shoulder rest, tuner, and an extra set of strings. As your student's skills improve, you may want to upgrade your strings and bow. There is a recommendation that I would make. The finger position dots are off and I would suggest that you use tape to mark the finger positions. In the photo that I posted, the RED lines are the measurements given typically for 3/4 violins (32 mm, 61 mm, 75 mm, 100 mm). The GREEN lines are where I will place the tapes for reference based on using the included tuner. You can see where the dots are in relation to theoretical locations (RED) and the actual position (GREEN) required for proper pitch. Of course, your student will be exercising their ear training and will be able to adjust accordingly over time. Overall, I think this violin kit is a good value and meets the need for progressively larger instruments as your student grows.

I am enjoying my violin very much!
It's great for my intention. I am teaching myself
It is easy to assemble. It is easy to use!
I am a small woman. I purchased a half size and think I could have handled a 3/4 just fine.
It's a great purchase to just "fiddle" around with!
Madhuri Satish
My Child is a beginner and is very comfortable using this instruments. Definetly worth money for beginners.
Stephanie
You will need to assemble the violin (strings, bridge, tuning). With the help of youtube, it won't be that difficult. But everything is provided as stated. I stopped playing violin after high school, and just started picking it up again 10 yrs later. Its a great practice violin, and for the price you can't beat it!
Anazar
I'm completely new to the violin but always wanted to learn so I decided to buy this violin set. This is definitely a starter violin. The quality is good for the price. I can't say it's too good but is not too bad either for this price. I need to look for videos or a person who can help us tune the violin otherwise it won't sound good. It comes with a felt-lined case, bow, and rosin. I’m thinking of taking lessons just so I can play it
C
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 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.
Alice
I bought it as a gift to my friend and she loves it!!! I'm so glad I bought it. Because I don't know anything about violin, I did a lot of homework to find a perfect one for my friend. It took my several days until I decided to buy one from this store. Absolutely a great choice! I could feel the high quality of this violin even from the package and the bag. It is definitely worth the price!
Steven
Got this violin as an early Christmas/birthday gift for a family member. Only opened it to see the quality & make sure everything was there. I'm extremely in impressed with packaging & quality. Can't wait to give this amazing gift away.
Ronald consumer
We rented a violin from a local music store. It was worn out and the case had stains. We decided to return the rental and buy this inexpensive 3/4 violin brand new. It will more than pay for itself from the money we would have wasted on the rental.
This Eastar brand violin looks great and will sound just as good as an expensive one when played by a beginner. If our child still plays after outgrowing this one, we can spend the extra money on the full size violin at that time.
This Eastar violin not only looks gorgeous, but it also comes with everything your child needs for orchestra classes, including the shoulder rest. Other than that, you may or may not need to get a music stand and that is it. Ask your child's teacher about the stand. Great purchase in my book. Well worth more than the low price. Your search is over and you can buy this Eastar violin right now.

It’s been roughly fifteen years since I’ve played and I just had an itch to pick it up again. I didn’t want to spend a fortune in case I didn’t find the time to play regularly.
I initially thought I would go with this violin when searching the first time on amazon. However, I chose to look around and read many many reviews on all the cheaper priced violins. After waiting and reviewing for several weeks, I came to the conclusion that for the price, this one seemed to have the best reviews and be of higher quality than others in the same price range.
And my first instinct was right! :) This beautiful violin and setup is a wonderful deal!
The violin came well packaged. The finish on the violin is beautiful, just as pictured! The bridge was NOT on it when I opened it. Strings were loose but having read all the reviews I was expecting this. I knew where to place the bridge and then I did as people suggested and started by slowly tightening the middle two strings, then the outer two, to avoid the bridge shifting.
I pushed the pegs in as I tightened and I did not have any major slippage with them, they all held fine. I played around with tuning it, knowing since the strings are new it probably will take a bit to get it right, but when I came back to it after lunch, I gave it another go at tuning, and got all the strings sounding correct. Let me say the tuner was a plus as I have one for my guitar, but the one included has a setting just for violin. I’m also happy about the shoulder rest. I used to have a really nice one and will probably order a better one eventually but just for getting started the one included is an awesome bonus!
The rosin I roughed up, and after about twenty to thirty passes had the bow nicely rosined and ready to go. I do plan to order a nicer bow but for the money this one is great, in perfect condition and plays nicely, though I’m years out of practice so someone more experienced might know more about the balance of it.
I plan to get better quality strings to put on the violin in the near future but for now I’m happy with the ones included and think the violin sounds great!!!! (There are extra strings and an extra bridge in the nice and well padded violin case)
I have only one tiny minor complaint and that is that it can be hard to keep the bow from hitting the G string when attempting to play the D string. I did notice some comments about that in the reviews but the longer I played today the better I got at keeping that to a minimum so I’m not sure if it’s the violin or just my rusty playing skills.
The inlayed spots on the neck of the violin made finding the correct finger positions SO easy, though I noticed after about twenty minutes of playing that my ear could tell when my fingers weren’t in the proper position. But for a complete beginner, this is extremely helpful and again cuts out the need for extra purchases.
This violin gets a ten out of ten from me!
IF YOU ARE NEW to playing violin, please remember it takes time to break an instrument in. The strings have to stretch some and so you may struggle with the tuning process or have to retune often. If you have patience and are willing to learn about your instrument then you should buy this one with confidence!
From all appearances, it’s a well made, handsome instrument and I am so excited that it arrived as quickly as it did!
Gotta go... it’s calling me! ;) Happy fiddlin’!!
Edit: Have had this beautiful instrument for a week and was so impressed that it has stayed in tune after that just those multiple adjustments on day of arrival. Every time I get it out to play I may have to give the fine tuners a slight turn but despite days of playing, none of the legs have slipped and it’s stayed in tune. I’m still very pleased and so thankful I purchased this violin. Will update if anything changes but as of right now I have no complaints. ...

This violin comes complete with bow and case
Looks good and is the size my granddaughter needs
She has taken it into school and they have tuned it so she is all set now for learning how to play
They said it’s really well made and good value with the case so well laid out for protection to the violin and the bow and a few accessories
Very pleased and good value
Amber Stephens
My son is a huge fan of AGT, and has been in awe of the violin players. He asked to use his own money to by a violin and this is what we purchased. It's a very nice instrument for a beginner, it comes with everything needed to get started, and the price point was great for a starter instrument. The case is awesome and really well made, the violin itself is beautiful, and the sizing is perfect. My son is thrilled with his first large purchase (he's 11...so not a big spender just yet). Now...I just need to find sound proofing for his bedroom!

For the price - this is just fine. Granted you're not going to play in an orchestra with it but it was more than enough to help me to decide that I did want to learn to play the violin. The case is quite good - the case alone is worth the price. The weakest piece is the bow and even that is adequate. I will use it to practice and I know this summer I will play outside so I will continue to use it. I did apply a little chalk to the pegs so they didn't slip but that took 2 seconds and it now stays in tune. This is a great violin to buy if you kind of want to learn to play but are not certain it is for you. It seems very durable and sounds pretty good. I will likely play it until it is time to pass it on to another curious player.
