For the money you are about to pay, you’ll get not just the violin, but also everything you need to start playing right away. Have you decided to take your child to violin classes?

However, the Gear4music extended warranty scheme provides an enhanced service, and is designed to offer a higher level of protection than many 'free' warranties offered by some retailers and manufacturers.Don’t be fooled by the color of this violin, as this is a real scale violin that is as large as any regular violins out there. This full-size violin, which makes it more than suitable to be used by adults and skilled players, is made out of spruce, on its top, and maple, on its sides. The violin looks good and will make your kid feel like a true professional. Sure, the quality of this violin is nothing special, but the thing with musical instruments in general is that you get what you pay for, and if you want a cheap instrument for a entry level violinist that might not play the violin anymore in a year or two, you will have to compromise a bit on quality. But that feels kind of ok, because it’s not like a kid starting to play the violin will play beautiful music anyway. 2. Premium Choice - Stentor 1550 Number five; the Cecilio CVN-300 is next up!

Unlike many online retailers, we only sell fully set-up instruments. We do not sell 'out of the box'.The bow is reliable and easy to use. It's crafted from hardwood - a favourite for bow construction because of its density and durability. Designed to withstand the stresses of a student developing proper technique, the traditional horsehair on the bow is ideal for many beginners. Never tighten the bow too much and make sure you loosen it after every time you played, otherwise it will change shape. Also, if a hair breaks, don’t just pull it off the bow. The hair is tied in a knot in the tip of the bow, and if you keep pulling out hairs from the knot it will loosen and eventually all the hairs will fall off. Instead, keep scissors in your violin case so that you can cut the hairs off.
