14 best quality violins
Quality violins are a crucial aspect of the world of orchestral strings and musical instruments. Here are key aspects that define a quality acoustic violin:
Tone and Sound Quality: A top-tier violin will produce a rich, clear, and well-balanced sound across all registers. The tonal quality is a result of the wood used, craftsmanship, and setup of the instrument.
Wood and Craftsmanship: High-quality violins are crafted from fine woods such as spruce for the top and maple for the back, ribs, and neck. The wood's age, density, and quality significantly impact the violin's sound and resonance.
Varnish and Finish: The varnish and finish on a quality violin are skillfully applied, enhancing the instrument's appearance and protecting the wood. They can also influence the violin's sound quality and projection.
Construction: Quality violins are expertly crafted with precision and attention to detail. The construction should be flawless, including the fitting of the neck, fingerboard, and other components.
Playability and Comfort: A quality violin should be comfortable to play, with well-shaped edges, smooth fingerboards, and a properly adjusted bridge and strings. The playability of the instrument is essential for musicians to perform at their best.
Setup and Adjustments: The violin should be set up and adjusted by a skilled luthier to ensure optimal playability and sound. This includes adjusting the bridge, nut, tailpiece, and strings.
Brand and Maker: Reputable violin makers and established brands often produce high-quality violins due to their experience, expertise, and dedication to craftsmanship.
Price and Investment: Quality violins typically come at a higher price due to the craftsmanship, materials, and expertise involved.Investing in a well-made violin is crucial for serious musicians seeking superior sound and performance.
In the context of orchestras and musical ensembles, a quality violin is a fundamental instrument that contributes to the overall sound and harmony of the ensemble. It's an essential tool for musicians, allowing them to express their artistry and create beautiful music in orchestral and solo performances.

User questions & answers
Question: | How do you plug the violin into the amp? Is there a seperate cord or do you have to buy one |
Answer: | Yes, it is clearly visible in the top picture, the black oval shape just to the left of the tailpiece. Because of this I am wondering if you are referring to a shoulder rest? This violin includes a chin rest, it DOES NOT include a shoulder rest. |
Question: | can you play it thru an iphone with headphones |
Answer: | My daughter got size 4 and it’s perfect if your child wants to continue learning. If u buy size 3 you will end up buying size 4 later because that’s what we did. My daughter’s instructor recommended size 4. So go for it.👍 |
Question: | Can you exclude battery? With battery this package is not allowed in my country india state kerala |

User questions & answers
Question: | is the back 1 piece or |
Answer: | Need Battery to produce sound. No Battery no sound. |
Question: | Do you sell full size |
Answer: | Yes and it's fairly easy as far as Bluetooth connectivity goes, although it is not without some problems. You will need a Bluetooth transmitter (if you don't already have one), which will take audio output from the violin and send it to the Bluetooth Beats. I have 2 of the from Taotronics and especially like their Bluetooth 5.0 Transmitter and Receiver, which you can buy on Amazon for about $40. The transmitter/receiver has a standard 3.5" stereo input jack, so you will need an adapter that goes from the 2 conductor mono-output of the violin to the 3 conductor stereo input jack, otherwise you might only hear the output in one of the Beats' earphones. Check out the "Monoprice 107128 3.5mm Mono Plug to 3.5mm Stereo Jack Adaptor" at Amazon for $2.02! Now, while the transmitter also has TOS-Link connections, the violin doesn't, so you won't find that option useful for this, but you might find that useful with other audio devices. The transmitter has a pretty decent range - about 20-30 feet. Of course, the transmitter still needs to be connected with a cable from the violin but that's always been a problem - you have to connect the violin to something via a cable. The transmitter's dimensions are approximately 2 1/4" square and 3/4" thick, weighing in at just 1.3 ounces. Its lithium battery lasts a long time and it has a standard micro-USB charging port. Even if you decide not to use it for your electric violin, it's still nice to have. |

User questions & answers
Question: | How many 110 v or |
Answer: | Yes. There are 3 sockets on the back of violin. One is "Line out" (for amp). One is "Mic" and one is "Phones". The Included cord for the amp is a little over 9 feet and is decent quality. There is no static backround noise and my violin comes in clear. *In the stock photo the amp cable is to the right of the headphones. |
Question: | Can the violin be hooked up to an amp that distorts the sound |
Answer: | It has a quarter inch plug, look for either an A to D connector, or (more easily a rocksmith cable) a USB interface. Electric instruments are almost all the same you'll never have the same sound as an acoustic. But it will give you a unique and interesting sound. Especially at this price point. |
Question: | does the bridge stay in place, does it stay tuned |
Answer: | I get about 81 dB playing open strings. It’s not so quiet. |
Question: | I am considering getting this for my daughter but can someone tell me if this is quieter than an acoustic violin with the headphones plugged in |
Answer: | The strings come attached. In fact, as soon as my violin came in, I took it to my local music store (who strung my acoustic violin) to have him check it out to see if the violin and strings are of good quality. He thought is was decent quality. I couldn't be happier with it, especially for the price. When you first get it, you will have to re-tune the strings every 10 minutes or so while you are playing, but after about a week of re-tuning (and it does need tuning less frequently with time) you are good to go. It doesn't hold a tune as well as my acoustic...I tune it before I begin playing usually, but it does hold well and the sound is fantastic. You can play it through an amp or into headphones and I think the sound quality is awesome. Hope this helps. :) |
Question: | can you plug it into a amp because the images do not show a jack |
Answer: | sorry, we also do not know the real time. you can add it to your cart, when it is in stock, the amazon will let you know. thanks |
Question: | How can I plug it to my laptop? There is a chord but it doesn't fit the computer outlet |
Answer: | Should be length. 4/4 is the longest it comes |
Question: | how quiet is it? I would be practicing during my toddlers nap time and need it to be very very quiet/silent with out an amp or head phones |
Answer: | ship from US stock. |
Question: | Does the kit come with strings attached or must you string them yourself |
Answer: | depends on the return reason. if the quality problem, it is free to send back. |

User questions & answers
Question: | What is the difference between Cecilio cvn-200 and mendini |
Answer: | Si!.. Se muestra con todos los accesorios. Una pieza 100% original y profesional. Recomiendo el Violín asi como el vendedor 100% 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 5 Estrellas |
Question: | Does it come setup |
Answer: | If you're unsure of how to place the bridge back on, take it to a music shop and they will assist you, music and arts centers will assist you in the store, I've done plenty of those at no cost when I used to work there. There is a certain direction and placing the bridge must sit to be able to sit properly, please seek a professional for instrument care. |
Question: | The tuning pegs do not stay after adjusting, is this normal |
Answer: | This product comes with two bridges that are made by the manufacture. No name on the bridges. I bought this product and it is an amazing deal for the quality and tone of the instrument! I suggest buying new strings, the ones that come in this set are cheap and dull sounding! Dominant Strings are suggested by this professional of 20 years! |
Question: | does this item come with an extra set of strings |
Answer: | hi Kyle D...no, I thought the violin would look like the picture because the wood looks rich and the violin strings looks like it would have a deep sound to it. However, if you haven't bought the violin yet..good.. I would spend a little more money on a good violin that would last you a long time..my mendini is still in the box oh and the strings on the violin are cheap..thank you for asking I hoped I help :) Deanne allen |
Question: | Es el primero que se muestra con todos los accesorios o es el naranja de abajo. Precio es profesional |
Answer: | Only one . easy to use. |
Question: | My daughter was trying to tune her violin (she's twelve and just starting out) and the bridge fell off. Is it difficult to put back on |
Answer: | The top button changes the pitch: ie 440 (which is standard pitch) to a faster pitch and turns the tuner off and on. The bottom button changes the instrument to be tuned: violin, viola, cello & base. Hope this helps. |
Question: | what bridge does this come with |
Answer: | The clip opens to 1 1/4 inch at the widest. Don't know if that's large enough for your bass. |
Question: | Does the actual violin that will ship look anything like this |
Answer: | It responds as quickly as any tuner meaning you can check long notes, but not short ones. However, the center markers for pitch are white with yellow ones on each side which means there's little contrast to see while you're playing. So I think it would be tough to monitor your pitch while playing. |

How to choose violin sizes
Violins are available in 8 different sizes: 4/4 (also called full size), 3/4, 1/2, 1/4, 1/8, 1/10, 1/16 and 1/32. Size 4/4 is the biggest and size 1/32 is the smallest. All adults, regardless of their size, use the size 4/4 violin.
To measure what size violin best suits you, you need to know the length between your neck and the middle of your left-hand palm (when your hand is fully extended and raised perpendicular to your body, just like holding a violin). Most of the teachers prefer students to use the length from the neck to the wrist for measurement instead of the neck to mid-palm approach. The violin size determined by the neck/wrist approach would be the size that is more comfortable for students to hold. The violin size determined by the neck/mid-palm approach would be the biggest size students should use. The following table lists the length of each violin size. Find your length using your preferred approach and use that to determine the size of violin to get.
If you have a teacher, you should ask for your teacher's recommendation. If you don't have a teacher, we would recommend using the neck/wrist approach for students not using full size; for students who are deciding whether to used size 3/4 or size 4/4, use the neck/mid-palm approach. This is because it is always better those students feeling comfortable holding and playing the violin. However, while deciding between size 3/4 and size 4/4, if neck/mid-palm approach allows for size 4/4, then buying a size 4/4 is more economical since you don't have to buy another bigger size violin later. This is completely based on economical consideration. You should still decide what best suits your need.
Cecilio CVN-300 Violin
One of our most popular models, the Cecilio CVN-300 is specially crafted to handle all the needs a beginning student could have. With its ebony fingerboard and fittings, beautiful antique varnish finish, and exceptional tone and resonance, the CVN-300 is an effective and capable instrument for any student who is just starting to learn the violin. Emphasizing superior clarity, remarkable responsiveness, and a pleasantly bright and warm tone for a lively yet smooth feel, the Cecilio CVN-300 provides students with a durable and reliable instrument that they can be confident will not hinder their development on the violin.

User questions & answers
Question: | Do these work on electric violins |
Answer: | Cecilio CVN-200 has bright and clear sound. Mendini MV200 and MV300: same quality but with different finish. Both have mellow and warm sound. Mendini MV400: Ebony fittings, has bright and clear sound Mendini MV500: Ebony fittings, has deep rich and powerful tone |
Question: | how many strings come in these packets? is it just one, all or half |
Answer: | you have to tune it and rosin up the bow |
Question: | Are these ball ends |
Answer: | This is because the pegs are not tapered to fit the pegs. They are only drilled straight through. They must be hand fitted for the pegs to stay put after tuning. These instruments take many shortcuts to make them cheaper. That is a big problem as the student will get frustrated (and so will their teacher) and all too often will quit playing because of the cheap method of construction. Do Not Buy Any Super Cheap Instruments!!! Would you expect a super cheap car to be reliable and safe? Of course not!! Why do you think this is different? |
Question: | I´m just learning to play. What does medium, heavy, light tension mean? Which should I buy |
Answer: | It does not come with extra set of string. |

User questions & answers
Question: | Does this come with the accesories in the picture |
Answer: | Everything that is in the picture comes in the case. |
Question: | If my daughter is 10, what size should I get |
Answer: | I got the 4/4 size however my grandaughter has the 7/8 and she is 10. The violins are so close in size its hard to tell the difference however her bow in lenght is shorter. |
Question: | Would this 1/4 fit a small 7 year old |
Answer: | 5 -7 yrs about 18"arm span 1/47-9yrs about 20"arm span 1/2 |
Question: | Can this be used as a fiddle |
Answer: | The bridge is the difference. A fiddle is a violin with a flatter bridge and a violin with a rounded bridge is played in the classic style and just called violin. Fiddle, as some mentioned is related to folk, country western, zydeco, bluegrass, folksy types of music. This is because the flatter bridge allows one to play chords more easily by making it easier to bow two or more strings at once. Whereas a standard violin with rounded bridge is easier to bow single notes as one would in an orchestral setting. |

User questions & answers
Question: | What is the difference in sizes between 1/4 1/2 and 4/4 Am thinking of getting one, just not sure about the size |
Answer: | No. There are tutorials online, or booklets and tutorials you can buy through Amazon in order to learn how to play the instrument. This is only the instrument, and extra accessories. |
Question: | Hello, I am a Double Bass player in my school orchestra. I am new to the violin, and wanted to know if the bridge/strings will be placed already? Thx |
Answer: | No case, with one extra string |
Question: | What size is for children |
Answer: | It is not ready to play when it just got out the box. You have to do the followings in order: 1) slide the damper under the two strings at the bottom of the python skin (I remove this damper afterward and the instrument still sounds fine, will double check with other erhu players). 2) put the "bridge" in the center of the python skin, under the two strings, make sure the strings sit in their notch on the bridge 3) tune up the strings to D (the left one) and A (the right one) (assume you are looking at the python skin) 4) add tension to the bow to the horse hair it taut, then apply the rosin on both side, this takes a while as it is a new bow 5) release the tension, take out the horse hair at one end (where you would hold the bow), slide the hair between the two strings. There are two ways to insert the hair, and ONE is WRONG !!! If you hold the erhu in playing position, the hair should be inserted such that the tip of the bow pointed backward to your left side and the "hand holding" end point forward to the right. Then turn the screw to increase the hair tension. Now, it's really ready to play. |
Question: | Is this a real violin for a twelve year old starting to play or is it a toy |
Answer: | Amazon gives us 21 to 45 days. As reported by our customers, based on our feedback and ratings, it takes 15 to 30days or thereabouts. |

Answer: | Glasser instruments are available in 16 different colors. The "base" color is an orange that is similar in appearance to what a varnished wood instrument might look like-although those run lighter and darker, with more red, brown, or gold hues. Glasser instruments also come in black, gunmetal, silver, white, green, blue, purple, red, and pink. AE and AEX versions have a different look meaning a green AE does not look like a green AEX. |
