    Customers like the quality of the violin. They say it's a high quality student model, the bow has good quality, and the rosin is cheap. The violin itself seems fine and sounds fantastic.

    Your personal Stradivarious... it is not one, but you will love it like it is.
    I always wanted to learn the violin, and never had the chance. But even at my age, and when I found an opportunity to get it, after lots of research in my country and online (including here in Amazon) finally I decided for the Stentor II student violin... And I don't have words to describe that I hit the jackpot in my decision.This instrument is great; amoung tons of chinese brands and products, you can feel the quality of this one. It is solid, the makes are good and the material is what they describe. It is one of the most expensive from its category, but believe me it worths any penny. It has been helping me to learn at home in the free time. The strings are not the best but you can always get better quality strings like Dominant's, but before you spend that money the ones it comes with can help you to understand and practice the basics. When you can already play better, you can change them and the sound will be infinite better.Almost 7 months and I am starting to practice and play "Nearer my god to thee". Takes time, you need to be patience, but slowly you will see the results.The bow has good quality but the rosin is cheap, however it works good for the bow; and the case is formidable, very good and solid, with a pocket for your shoulder rest.What else you need beside what the pack offers? Basically you'll need a violin mute (to avoid your neighbors kill you, it has a strong voice), a shoulder rest (if your neck is large), a tuner (The're many cheap here in Amazon), and a couple of soft flannels, one to clean the violin after each rehearsal and one for your neck to avoid get scratched by the violin's button and chin rest bracket.Beside that, the looks it has is stunning, any person I showed it to him/her, that person falls in love with it.Edit: Added a couple of pics of mine, for those asking about the color. It is not as red as the promotional pics shows; it is kinda light brown, but still a beauty piece.

    Extrait vidéo du son, son peu clair je suis débutant.
    J’ai acheté ce violon 4/4 taille adulte pour débuter l’apprentissage du violon.
    Il est fourni dans une boîte pour le protéger, celle-ci contient 3 ouvertures, la plus grande avec l’archet et le violon ainsi qu’un colophane.
    Une autre ouverture pour y ranger l’epauliere ( non fournie )
    Une autre pour poser le violon quand on joue, le temps d’une pause par exemple.

    Il est très beau, l’archet est de qualité et les cordes sont plutôt bonnes. Pour débuter, rien à redire il est vraiment pratique. Il contient l’essentiel pour apprendre, je ne peux que vous le conseiller !

    Ho comprato questo prodotto per cominciare violino come secondo strumento spendendo poco e invece si è rivelato un ottimo acquisto per principianti o per chi voglia iniziare da autodidatta. Il suono è buono, è sempre comunque un violino da circa 200€ quindi non è come un ottimo violino, ma per chi ha appena cominciato è molto buono, i legni sono di un bel coloro e il kit è completo quindi appena arriva si può suonare subito.
    Consiglio di acquistare insieme ad un accordatore.
