Stentor1400 1/2 Violin

I read other reviews that said that the violin bridge wasn't set, however, the bridge was set and only needed mild adjusting from the shipment. There were instructions in the case. The case it came with was very nice - it was sturdy and aesthetically appealing. The bow is also decent bow and the violin came with rosin, which I actually didn't expect but was pleasantly surprised to see. It is a great starter violin set and the company shipped it as promised and we ended up receiving it before we expected it. This may have been luck of the shipment but we were pleasantly surprised once again. It also came with a note of who packed and shipped the violin and that was nice and also reassuring that the company took care in individually sending it to us. One thing I would suggest is that if you have an absolute beginner, that you do go ahead and get yourself fret stickers and a tuner. We tuned by pitch, however, I would suggest having a tuner if you are not sure.

The violin itself plays nicely and is made well. Great for a beginner. My only complaint would be that when you get a new violin you need to set the bridge and there was not an instruction sheet to do this. Figured it out using the worldwide web but it would have been nice to have a simple instruction sheet in with the purchase.
