Paititi 4/4 Full Size Artist-100 Student Violin Starter Kit with Brazilwood Bow Lightweight Case, Shoulder Rest, Extra Strings and Rosin

Just to start I'm 59 years old I chose to learn how to play the violin about 3 months ago until today I've never touched a violin. I opened package with reservations due to some of the reviews I read. Yes it was out of tune it took about 10 minutes to tune it,there was no damage and I was play notes as soon as rosined the bow. Great buy ,excellent choice for practice or even play in public

After tuning, the sound was clear and pleasant, especially for an entry-level instrument. The included accessories are useful for new players, making it a great value for the price.

I got my violin today, after almost 4 days waiting for it.. but it did not come as I expected it to.. for one the box that it came in was damaged, the case was not protected during shipping, when I opened the case the bridge was knocked off and 2 strings had popped off the D and the A... I was able to get them back on but now it's gonna cost me to have it adjusted as well as getting better strings factory strings are the worst... all In all its a beautiful violin I love the color and the finish.. the bow is nice.. once I finally got it tuned it played pretty nice.. now I only hope I can get the new set on and get it straightend out...

I had to buy this violin 4 TIMES. Each time it came different. Once a whole entire different color, with obviously like every cheap violin off Amazon, and slipping pegs that are worse than every new violin. (Violins that you get start off with slipping pegs, obviously, but this one was outrageous!) one of the times it had a string broken off, snapped, couldn’t even be placed back on, 3rd time it had an awful bridge that was straight… not even how a violin bridge is meant to be placed. 4th time, the slipping pegs were so bad, that all my strings would fall flat from me plucking, or even using my bow on the strings. I had to buy a new violin from a different brand, obviously. When i got this violin the 2nd time, the shoulder rests were different sizes.. what? One was bigger than the other. The sound quality is awful! It’s so squeaky even on the g/d string! The E string frays so quick, when I got it the first time, the E string frayed within 24 hours. I mean, you’re buying a violin for $80. I wouldn’t be surprised if buying a used violin from Facebook marketplace would be better than this one. Each time I got this violin, it was used, or at least looked like it was. The performance is awful! My G, D, and A snapped. D and A on the same day, after my G snapped. This is just disappointing… The weight of the case is so light, that whenever it drops (accidentally, obviously) on the ground because it slipped, my violin would get chipped each time. The so called “wood” on the violin looks and feels like plastic… The rosin it comes with is awful, and barely has the ability to grip the bow well enough. The bow is awful as well. There is so little hair on the bow that when a piece fell off, the scratchiness would get worse. The tuner is awful too. It barely works as well. The extra strings are terrible, as all the extra strings came frayed every single time I got them. The value of this violin is awful, if you’d be able, it would be better to make an investment to a more expensive brand. There’s really no pros to this violin, everything is just cons at this point. This violin is awful, don’t buy it unless you like being disappointed esch time you play.

New to violin so this beginner violin is great! The price is perfect and the violin isn’t bad! Looks great and sounds good too! Came with a tuner and resin for the bow so that is nice!

Junk. Bad setup, poor tone. Poor finish. Bow was pretty good compared to the violin shaped object it came with. The sad thing is if you buy an instrument this poor it could turn the person off forever because of a bad experience. I purchased another violin for $110 and it changed my life. A year later I am still playing. Had I bought this one I would have likely stopped. Looking back I would suggest paying as much as you can. Also consider having a luthier set up the instrument.

I will say I bought this violin not expecting much but I have been pleasantly surprised as I play in a concert orchestra and this violin is amazing quality the finish is smooth and look nice it Has a nice warm rich tone to it the bow is amazingly carved and the hair is very nice this is a little above a beginner violin I say this is more an orchestral violin but would be great for a student in orchestra I will link concert videos of me playing with this violin

Great for beginners. Tuning pegs seem to be a problem.
