Kmise 4/4 Full Size Set, 4 Solid Wood Fiddle for Adults Beginners Students Kids, with Hard Case with Hygrometer, Violin Bow, Shoulder Rest, Extra Strings (MI3415)

The rosin is hard and light yellow. It was in two pieces with loose shards. I scored it with scissors and it rosened up the bow quickly. I bought this violin because of the 'good rosen reviews' and the dark color to it in the picture. I was very disappointed to find a different rosen, but it works okay. The bridge is not an even half circle, it is deeper down on the low note string position. I assume that is normal? Pictures show the bridge to be even. I made some sounds and it seems okay to play thusly. One string was out of the peg hole and I had to use a needle nose plier to get back in and wind it up. The pegs don't slip yet, but must be pushed in to hold. I like the sound of the violin. I am a beginner and just want to make some sounds without worrying about being in tune or pressing the right notes. It is for my mental health which is in the pits. A few bow hairs were loose and I cut them, they feel like plastic. I had a hard time getting the bow back into place in the case. It has to be done in a certain way, pay attention to the way it comes shipped, I didn't. The overall quality is nice with just a few white varnish dots near the edge. I am having trouble getting the neck rest into place and will have to fiddle with it quite a bit to figure it out.

I like the varnish on it! I think it’s a great instrument for a beginner! Just as long as someone that knows what they’re doing accompanies them in assembling and tuning the instrument.

The packaging and promptness was good at delivery. However the violin is not a good buy. We bought this for our daughter and it sat in the package for sometime until the school started. The teacher who is an experienced teacher in the school tried to tune it and gave up. I also tried with another friend to get it tuned and they too said this violin is busted. Maybe I received a bad one or maybe this class of violins are bad. I dont know. But if you are buying it like me for your school going child, beware that you will have to end up paying 2x the amount since it might potentially not work out with this buy. I am unhappy and frustrated with this buy, not only the money aspect, but the inconveniences that I have had to deal with this purchase.

I bought this because I wanted to test my wife’s patience. Turns out, she’s not very patient and I now need a new bow. I still think it sounded great and was totally worth the money.

The violin came with everything it stated! A few issues though is that it came with a string broken and the bow had strings broken. It’s perfect for a beginner! Wished it came with instructions on how to maintain it or how to fix the strings

You get a lot of bang for your buck with this violin. Chin rest, bow, rosin, extra strings and a soft case. I was amazed at how beautiful the wood finish is. There was a tiny ding in the finish but easily touched up. The violin is lightweight and so easy to purchase. I remember trying to rent a violin for my daughter when she was first learning. I paid more for a rental than what this cost. So convenient! You do have to put the bridge in place. It is clearly marked where to place it ( Look for notches). A video on Amazon shows how to do it. Just make sure to loosen the strings before. Then tighten strings a little at a time as to keep the bridge from shifting. I was pleasantly surprised to see a humidity detector built into the case. Let the music begin!

Great for the value of the price

This is a beautiful violin - I was impressed that it includes the hard case, the extra strings, rosin and the hygrometer. Since I am a beginner it took a while to tune correctly. It probably didnt' help that I chose a humid day, I had to tune, let it sit, tune again etc before the tones stayed. The fine tuners helped a lot with this and is much easier than just using the pegs. The fact that it has fine tuners at this price point is also amazing. My husband plays fiddle and he said this instrument produced a beautiful tone, and wasn't that far off from his higher end violin. Excellent value for money. I also own a banjolele from Kmise and it is a high quality instrument that I wouldn't hesitate to recommend to others.
