Forenza Uno Series 4/4 Full Size Violin Outfit for Beginners with Lightweight Hard Case, Wood Bow, Rosin, Steel Core Strings - Black

Nice instrument for this fantastic price!! It exceeded my expectation. The sound is really good - perfect for a beginner or intermediate young violinist. Children grow quickly and might soon grow to the 4/4 size, so it's good not to spend a fortune for this size. Highly recommended!

Bridge isn’t pre-attached as stated. Impossible to tune and keep in any sort of tune. Snapped string on day one and the string still wasn’t tuned high enough. The bow hair is loose, and touching the wooden bow itself, with frayed hairs everywhere. Feels incredibly cheap. Avoid.

I have 2 of these now for my girls. They are cheap and need to be setup by someone who knows what they are doing (their teacher is a close friend) but will do fine for a first violin. Nothing broken but the bridges needed adjusting with sandpaper (one by a lot!) and the strings and wood will take a while to settle as with any violin. For the price the 1/2 size violin is selling at (<£15) I can’t see a reason not to! Very happy with my purchases!

This violin is not bad, the price is not expensive, but the strap of the violin case is not very good, it is broken now, my daughter took out to learn the violin lesson about three or four times, now i need to repair it by myself

I've been using it for 17 months and they are very good for beginners. I had to change most of the strings, but the G one is still the original one (the new ones sound much better, though). I can definitely hear the difference between them and my teacher's violin, but I'm not trying to be professional, so I don't mind. However, the pegs slide, so it's good to get the peg compound as well (or borrow it from someone who already has one). Very happy!

I bought this for my 9 year old daughter who is very new to the violin. It looks lovely, very modern and the case is great, that's why I've given it 3 stars. I think it's OK for the money but on the downside it had to be completely restrung before you could get any where near a nice sound out of it. We are lucky that we have a generous music teacher who was able to do it and didn't charge us for the strings. If I'd had to buy strings I probably wouldn't have been so generous with the ratings.

My grand daughter loves this violin, she is learning at school and said its the same as the school violins.

This item is fake. I bought it for my 7 year old son for his practice at home however after opening it, things were wrong. The white bit that holds the string wasn't steady and it thus fell off. I know little about violin so we took it to north London talent music school. My son's teacher told us straight away that this is a fake violin and that many people have brought them in at the school and they all have similar problems. She thus advised us to return it back to the buyer ASAP for the refund. I am sending it back today and I will update you on further development. But please don't buy this item as its time consuming returning it back.

The string easily gets loosen. Every 20 minutes you neet to calibrate it ;(

Il violino ha un ottimo suono. Il colore e' stupendo e archetto e custodia molto buoni. Ottimo rapporto qualita prezzo. Unico neo la consegna un po' lenta (circa un mese) e qualche graffio quasi invisibile. Mia figlia e' felicissima.

Strepitoso esteticamente. Mi è arrivato in pochi giorni dall'ordine dalla GB. Appena l'ho aperto ho visto sul fronte dei segnetti color legno e ho detto "vai... mi è arrivato scorticato". Per fortuna erano residui di lavorazione, quindi soffiati sono andati via. Quindi è perfetto, rosso vivace come lo volevo per far coppia ad un altro color legno sempre Forenza. Niente da dire. E' arrivato montato, con il ponticello già posizionato, forse un po' inclinato, ma basta posizionarlo allentando le corde e tutto ok. Presente un rettangolino di pece nell'apposito scomparto compatto e perfetto. La custodia fuori ha uno scomparto apribile a zip forse per mettere degli spartiti.

Eccellente, la sola custodia (leggerissima!) o l'archetto (agile e bilanciato) valgono più del costo dell'insieme. Suono gradevole, in rapporto al prezzo è sorprendentemente forte e limpido. Ottimo per iniziare, le corde sono decenti, tenete presente che vanno sostituite ogni tre o quattro settimane (consiglio Thomastik Dominant o Pirastro). Le chiavi tengono bene, perché facciano il loro lavoro, le corde devono essere arrotolate verso l'esterno; se non dovessero, vanno messe meglio in opera con un po' della pece (fornita) polverizzata nelle sedi. Anche l'arco va messo in opera all'inizio strofinandolo a lungo con la pece. Consiglio, all'inizio, di strofinare la pece stessa sulle corde fra il ponticello e il manico e poi di strofinare la pece stessa sull'archetto non troppo teso per circa venti minuti (le volte successive sarà sufficiente mezzo minuto). Non lasciate commenti negativi: se non sapete cosa avete in mano e come usarlo, chiedete aiuto a un esperto. Le corde vanno tese solo fino alla loro altezza (sol3 a sinistra, poi a salire re, la e mi), NON OLTRE!, si scorderà naturalmente (è normalissimo) per venti minuti, riaccordare finché non si stabilizza. NON TENDERE l'archetto oltremodo: è delicato, si romperebbe o rovinerebbe. E' normale anche questo. Strumento consigliatissimo anche per i professionisti quando non si vuole esporre a pericoli i propri strumenti da 5000 Euro (sono un violinista). Avevo acquistato il violino per regalarlo, mi serviva solo una custodia (che costerebbe di più). Ho deciso di tenere tutto, violino e archetto. Sarà il mio secondo strumento da studio in viaggio!

Very good sound. Setup was easy.
