Kadence Vivaldi Violin VIV101 Solid Spruce Top, Maple Back (V101G)

The first word that I uttered upon the first look of the instrument was "magnificent!" What a beautiful instrument it is..! I am a beginner for violin and I was impressed by the build quality. Feels very premium. being a 4/4 size it is neither too small nor too large - just perfect. The bridge was already set up when opened the package so I didn't have to go through all the trouble. I had to tune the strings accordingly. The bow quality is also excellent. I had to tighten and set up the bow by rubbing the rosin onto it. The only disappointment was the rosin which was half broken. The instrument comes in a hard case which is cool. The sound quality is as magnificent and genuine as the instrument looks like. Overall, 9.5/10 - go for it. Worth buying. Kadence never disappoints 😊

Getting back to playing after a long gap, needed to upgrade from my old instrument. Bought this thinking it would be a good stopgap to practice on, but the sound and the quality has surpassed my expectations. Comes with a very nice hardcase, and a qood quality rosin for the bow. Instructions are included for first-time players, so if you're a beginner, you can start playing right out of the box. A spare set of strings would have been a nice touch, but it's a good deal as it is, can recommend.

The worst craftsmanship I have seen. The bridge is horrendous and the sound is so bad. The ebony wood alignment was also incorrect which caused inaccurate sounds. The pegs are not waxxed they either won't turned or they turn too much. The fine tuner for the E string doesn't work in fact none of them so. The bow is probably plastic not tail hair. The rosin is useless and it will probably damage the bow. don't buy cheap violin it's an expensive instrument a good price would be around 17000 for a good or decent violin and dont buy from Amazon. You can trust my review I do play violin on an intermediate level and i dropped this violin in 10 days and rented a decent one till now.

This is a beautiful instrument completely worth its price.Setup: Initially you might have to set the bridge up because it often falls down during transportation. Best if you get it done at a violin store. But if you're doing it yourself do it patiently and correctly. Same goes for tuning: G3-D4-A4-E5. Do not worry as you can tune it to almost one semitone higher without breaking the strings.Bow: The bow will need to be rosined for at least a couple days before you get any sound out of your violin, but do not overdo it. Apply rosin little by little. Also scrape the rosin before applying for the first time. With regular rosin application the bow should become perfect in 2-3 weeks.Finally take care of your instrument and clean it regularly. I am writing this so that you can save time and get to playing/learning instead of making mistakes. ALL THE BEST!

I initially received my violin with a broken Bow but they replaced the product the very next day.It looks beautiful like shown in the display picture. I'm a beginner so can't comment much on the quality of the sound but I didn't find it bad at all, infact I liked it while practicing a little bit.
