Not bad at all. Beatiful violin! Wood grain is visible, and flaming looks real. Mine Came pre-setup with bridge in place. The label says it is the 250 model. For a $100 violin, you're getting more value than you paid for. Sound is good for something so affordable. Nut is cut well. Bridge is ok, but I trimmed mine down to a more comfortable string height. I also put synthetic (Thomastik Alphayue) strings on it. Dont expect much from factory strings! And dont judge a violin by factory string snapping when tuning. Factory strings are Always brittle, low quality steel. Get a good set of strings. Get some peg drops as well, it will keep the pegs from slipping. Haven't tried the bow it came with, but it is straight and looks good. The sound is clear, but not very warm and open (maybe it'll change a bit after brake in) and volume is ok. I wouldn't say the sound is "powerful". But I don't see why people want large, powerful projection for practicing, I'm sure the neighbors don't. If you were a soloist and needed outstanding projection, you wouldn't be looking at this price range anyways. It is a great little violin, and I am baffled that it is only $100.

Very good violin for the price. I love its look, I love the sound. Big and thick sound that will get warmer as it gets played often. The bow is not that good, but works. Shipped promptly and carefully. All you have to do is set the bridge (yes, of course you need to learn how to set the bridge of your violin!), tune it, and voilá! Enjoy! It takes a while in any new violin for the strings to stay in tune. If after a week of being playing it the pegs are still slippery, apply some peg drops or some rosin to the pegs.

Excellent violin...good price and good sound. I'm working with it and the people ask what kind of violin is!

For the price, I'm very satisfied. It plays well enough for me to remind myself how to play again. Case is nice, bow is good. It arrived in good shape.

This Violin was received as promised: quickly, in tune and super beautiful. I was completely blown away, WOW!!! I have only been playing for 13 months now and it sounds so much better than my first two much simpler violins. This is very inspiring, I'll keep practicing with this beautiful instrument.

real maple and spruce

This is the best violin on the market. Beautiful high quality with big beautiful sound. I highly recommend it.

Very happy and the price was great 🎶

Just starting out so I don't know about the sound quality. it is loud! If anything the finish is beautiful I love the fact that I can say it is a copy of a Stradivari ( three stooges anyone? ) Will let you know when the lessons start paying off...
