I bought this violin to self-learn on, so I might not have the most advanced feedback. Violin: I believe that this violin is of great quality, and I believe also that Kennedy Violins takes the time to put passion and love into every one of their violins to make sure that it is perfect for the customer from this experience. When I first played the violin, it had to be tuned which is totally normal and fine. After the tuning, I played a few notes, and it has a high quality sound to it. The ebony fingerboard was beautiful, and the staining on the violin did not rub or fade. It makes it look glossy and new. The strings are on the violin when it came already and came with an extra pack of strings just in case one of the strings breaks or multiple break. The bridge came intact and stood in the right position. The pegs also fit into the holes really well. This package also comes with a nice cloth to wipe the violin down and clean it (and even instructions on how to clean your violin). Tuner: It is a clip on tuner, but I find it more useful just to hold it up next to the violin (that is my style of tuning). It is alright in its accuracy. It helped me tune my violin before I learned to tune by ear which is quite helpful. It comes with a battery and is easily to manipulate. There are also different settings on the tuner so you might have to turn to the violin setting when you first use it. Bow: It is high quality horsehair, and does not look stringy in the least. It was smooth and the wood is nicely made with no sharp edges. With rosin, the bow moved smoothly along the strings and did not "stutter." Shoulder rest: It works perfectly, it might not be comfortable for some shoulders because everyone is different, but it helps me rest the violin without hurting my shoulder. Rosin: Like I said before, I am definitely not an expert in this, but it did not make the bow or strings dirty or sticky/slimy. It helped the bow move along the strings nicely and not "stutter" as I said before. Intro to Violin Book: It actually helped me a lot to read this book because I just started and I did not know the basics of fingering or holding the actual bow correctly. It even has beginner and some intermediate songs that you can play inside. It also shows the basics of notation (which I already knew). It is a very helpful guide even for tuning. Case: It is a nice and hard case so the violin will not get smashed or ruined. There is one compartment to put rosin and other things inside, a spot for the violin which also includes a velcro hold in place latch. It also includes a bow holder on the top which is nice because it gently holds the bow. The case also has a built in moisture gauge which is nice to look at and see if you need to lessen the moisture inside. It also includes straps so that you can turn the case into a backpack. All in all, I would recommend this to anyone starting out on the violin! Review: A very nice violin for students - I am very happy I purchased this violin. When I started playing, I bought a Stentor II, and I was horribly disappointed. I had a horrible time just trying to push the strings down to the fingerboard. They were so stiff. I took some good advice and bought a slightly more expensive violin--my Bunnel--and even my teacher said my playing was as different as night and day with this violin. I could push the strings down a lot more easily, the sound is rich and projects well, the E string is a bit squeaky, but I haven't upgraded the strings, which I want to do. I am going to put Dominant strings on so that I can get the sound quality I want from the E string. I had a fairly easy time getting the pegs to stay put when I tuned it. I rarely need the pegs now. I use the fine tuners more often, since the violin holds its tune for several days, usually. I upgraded the shoulder rest and bought a Kun. I'd highly recommend Kun shoulder rests. It makes playing so much more comfortable. The violin is very pretty, if you are concerned about aesthetics. The scroll looks nice, the varnish is smooth. The ebony finger board looks great. This violin apparently won the second place spot in 2018 for best violins--the only one that was better was almost double the cost of this one, and it's clearly for professionals, which I am not. If you are or know a student of violin, you can't really beat this. I would discourage you from buying any violin under 200 dollars. I grant you: spending thousands of dollars on a violin that you may or may not play long-term is not advisable, but if you can afford this violin, this violin will stick with you through beginning and intermediate stages of playing. If you make it beyond intermediate, then it might be time to upgrade if you want to. But I would not recommend buying cheap violins online. Spend some extra money and get the very best one you can afford. This one is worth every dime I spent on it. There isn't a day that goes by that I'm not thankful that I dropped the extra money on this instrument. it has transformed my playing. ## Features - [HIGH-QUALITY] Our customer service team is on hand to answer ANY question and to help with your stringed instrument!

Everything about the packaging and little extras says this company cares and is top notch. The violin itself is a beautiful instrument with a wonderful tone and worth every penny. The included case is first rate. Good companies try to deliver a bit of "wow" and these folks certainly succeeded -- and then some! Everything about this purchase has been absolutely first rate. I bought a cheaper violin years ago and learned how to play it, but was never happy with the quality of the instrument. I decided to upgrade (a little bit!) and settled on this Bunnel G2 after doing a lot of research. It's an excellent choice for beginners to intermediate students. The company put their phone number in several spots in case anything was not quite right; I'm quite sure they would have handled any problem in a satisfactory way. The box itself was taped shut with a warning not to accept delivery if it was opened or damaged in any way, which means you can purchase a delicate instrument like this and be assured it will arrive safely and in good shape. ## Frequently Bought Together - Ricard Bunnel G2 Violin Outfit 1/8 Size - Carrying Case and Accessories Included - Solid Maple Wood and Ebony Fittings By Kennedy Violins - Essential Elements for Strings - Violin Book 1 with EEi Book/Online Media - 3 Mini Color Violin Fingering Tape for Fretboard Note Positions --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/124783779-ricard-bunnel-g2-violin-outfit-1-8-size-carrying-case](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/124783779-ricard-bunnel-g2-violin-outfit-1-8-size-carrying-case) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-08-15*
