Tips for Tuning
Please don't just turn the tuning pegs like tuning a guitar. When you tune, please push the tuning pegs in as you turn it, to make sure the peg is staying wedged in.
- Adjust the pitch of each string using the pegs.
- When you tune, please push the tuning pegs in as you turn it, to make sure the peg is staying wedged in.
- Make sure that as you turn the peg that the string evenly coils around the peg.
- After tuning is complete, make sure that the tailpiece side of the bridge is still properly aligned.
- If the bridge is leaning in either direction, slightly loosen the strings and carefully re-align the bridge using both hands.
Size Selection Reference
The length of the arm is a vital factor for choosing a violin.
- Clamp the violin to your chin and extend your left arm to touch the scroll of violin.
- If your left hand can cup the scroll, it means the violin is suitable for you.
- If your fingers on the left hand can only touch the scroll, it means the violin is a bit large for you.
- If your left wrist can touch the scroll, it means the violin is a bit small for you.
1. Loosen the strings slightly
To avoid snapping a string while placing the bridge, loosen the strings slightly. You loosen violin strings by turning the tuning knobs on the end of the violin.
2. Place the bridge between the F-holes
When you slide the bridge under the strings, make sure it's between the two F-holes. The bridge should be placed at roughly the midway point of the f-holes.
3. Make sure the bridge is standing at a 90 degree angle
The side of the bridge facing the violin's tailpiece should stand at 90 degree. The other side of the bridge should be sloped forward slightly. If not, put it in place backwards. You'll have to remove the bridge and start over.
4. Tighten the strings
Re-tighten your strings to keep the knob in place. Gently turn each knob on the bottom of the violin. It's a good idea to use one hand to hold the bridge in place while tightening the strings, to prevent it from falling over.

Had to replace the strings so many times and the pegs keeps losing their grip on the strings. Thinking about getting a new one soon better quality

I bought this for my 10 year old for Christmas. On Christmas Eve my eldest daughter and her husband discovered it, and they lovingly strung it and tuned it and admired all the features (they were both in a strings program in our local elementary schools ages ago).The rosin included was hard and unusable, but that is not terrible. Definitely plan to acquire some locally for use.The instructions included are helpful if you don't magically have two amateur violinists dropping by!

My child recently started learning the violin, and after consulting with his teacher, we decided to go with this 1/2 size violin. We’ve been using it for a few weeks now, and I’m happy to report that it’s been performing wonderfully. The sound quality is impressive for the price, and the craftsmanship appears solid. The violin is easy for my son to handle, and the included accessories (bow, case, and rosin) are practical and of good quality. It’s a great value for money, especially for beginners. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable and affordable violin to start their musical journey!

I love the set, and how generous they are with the additional accessories that they include. But the problem that I have is that I cannot get the bow to take and hold rosin. I've applied and applied the rosin, and maybe I can get some sound for a short period, but then it goes back to voiceless. I think the bow strings must be very poor quality. Also, the violin doesn't hold a tune, but I'm told that's normal with a new instrument/strings. It does seem to be holding tune longer now that I've used it more, than when it was first set up.Overall, it's a very nice kit for a beginner, at a great price; but unfortunately you do get what you pay for in regards to quality. I will at least be replacing the bow, if not the whole instrument soon.

Ordered this for my daughter's 11 year birthday. She was over the moon. Looks beautiful, well made, and it was boxed very carefully. I was worried because it was very humid and hot the day it was delivered, but it was in two boxes and a case, so the violin was in great shape arriving. I am not a musician, so I don't know anything about violins, but I looked at it very closely and it looks like a quality piece. We can't wait to set it up and have her use it. I will report back but my first impression so far is excellent. There are instructions and videos to help set up the violin, and it was packaged very carefully. The wood is smooth and lustrous, and it looks like high quality components, this is definitely a musical instrument, not a toy.

Was trying to put the new one through the little hole in the peg...so I grabbed a flashlight to help my me see what I was doing.Then I noticed the workmanship of the peg box and it got me examining the instrument a little more closely.I noticed how the nut had been slapped on. The paint job of the fingerboard slightly making its way onto the neck. The little crack on the neck that seemed to have been glued back ever so obviously. The sloppy white paint visible through the f-holes. Purfling rubbing off in some places. Unshaped bridge that causes hitting other strings. Chipped underside of the chin rest that has been described as ebony.....but that chip shows a different color than the exterior paint.....I could go on. Take a look at the pics and decide for yourself.It came in a good case, cheap cracked rosin, heavy unbalanced bow, tuner, a misleading book that's a guide on how to set up and extra set of strings.Customer service/seller was responsive-offered to reimburse $30 and throw in a harp I have no need for. They claim the warranty is lifetime in private messages, but their description shows 45 days....I believe when that time has lapsed, you will be on your own and not even Amazon will rescue you.Take a look through the pics and decide for yourself. I wish someone had taken such close ups and warned me!!Not expecting a strad.....but these are signs your beginner violin will not last long.

Out of the box this kinda surprised me. Dimensions were spot on and everything seemed to fit pretty well. Even the string grooves were pretty close to where they need to be. The bridge was fitted "ok" and looked like it could support full string tension without marring the top plate. I know better tho so decided to tune it 4 half steps down to let it settle for a couple days before taking string height measurements. I was about right for steel strings with 4.5-5mm on the G string, 3-3.5mm on the E string. Overall sound while detuned was really good - a touch of growl on the low end but not raspy and mellow highs without the dreaded piercing shrill on the E string. Even the fingerboard had a nice scoop with no obvious dings or waves.The soundpost ends were well fitted but the length was a touch long causing the Treble side F-hole to push up and I could see the pressure spot of the sound in the reflection of the finish. Most beginners would appreciate the overly snug fit of the sound post since it means it will stay in place during shipping and string changes. I ended up cutting 1.5mm off the length to get the F-hole to lay flat (matching the bass side). The top plate still has memory of the old post so the soundpost is super loose with no string tension and the slightest bump will make it fall out of place. Not a big deal for me since I recheck soundpost position during restringing.I did the usual setup tweaks for pegs, string groves, tailpiece position, fingerboard shaping/smoothing, nut height and made a new bridge since I wanted to use synthetic strings (5.5mm G, 3mm E). The original steel strings survived all the horrors of the setup process and still sounded pretty good after all that. I'm running the new formula Tonica's on it now and very happy with everything. I like the project aspect of things but I'm pretty sure I could've tunned it up right out of the box and had a decent beginner instrument.

Mine came with a broken soundpost; it's now rolling around inside of the violin. I've attached a photo.The bridge snapped in half while I was trying to tune the violin; I've glued it together with wood glue for now, but I'll need another one; which you must get from a music shop.As for the soundpost: that cannot be fixed at home. It must be taken to a music store or violin luthier to be repaired (I'm sure once I take this into the store and tell them I ordered it from Amazon, they'll frown upon me, but alas)The bow is....not good. Two hairs snapped off while I was playing. The rosin is cheap quality but it's not terrible. The tuner doesn't work, period. Shoulder rest is decent, chin rest is not too comfortable, and the case I suppose; it's actually not bad. The case is okay. The front sort of zipper pocket on it can be used to hold sheet music, but it's not completely flat so the paper you put in there will get wrinkled.My advice is: Rent a violin from a music store, or spend more money for a better quality one.

Like I mentioned in the other review. My girlfriend and her friends have a late year resolution on learning guitar. And somehow, they want me to play violin. So I can teach them guitar, and in return, I can learn violin from them. Well, not a bad deal, as I love music and am always curious about how to play violin. I am not sure if this is from the same seller but this set also comes with everything one may need. Plus carrying case and tuner. Strings and spare strings are unlike traditional ones, you do not need to know the technique to twist them, just need to hook them on and tune it. The one I bought is acoustic version. Very elegant looking but feels a little light in my hand. Maybe it's just me. I'm more used to the heavier instruments.I saw some low star reviews regarding bridge is detached and electronic component not working...I don't think any new violin comes with the bridge pre-attached. If you buy in store I'm pretty sure they will set it up for you. But it is a better idea to remove the bridge before transporting or traveling. Setting up the bridge is pretty self-explanatory. Or you can google search "violin". The picture will give you a perfect idea where to position that wooden piece.And for the electronic part... although the one I bought is not electric, but if it is the same as the guitar I bought... They packaged it really well and the 9v battery is in plastic wrapping. This ensures the battery is new when you get it and prevents battery leak. So try taking out the battery to remove it's plastic packaging first.
