    a bit disappointed
    We ordered this 1/4 violin for our daughter. Since we know she will not use it for years, we didn't buy the top quality violin in $500+. We still expected this violin to be good enough for a beginner. When I opened its case, I was immediately surprised, not a good one though. All other violins I've ever ordered (even the ones below $100) have a velvet-like cloth in the case to protect the violin top surface. This violin only has a foam sheet in the case. That was impressive... Then when I took out the violin, I was shocked the second time. The back of finger board looks like not fully painted. Our other violins all have a nice transition of painting colors on the back of finger board. Plus this violin doesn’t come with a shoulder rest either. Those might be minor things for an instrument, because they don't affect the function. But I couldn't help wondering how badly the company wants to cut the cost.Tuning. I used an tuning app to tune the violin. I tried it four days. On the first two days the strings would get loose again right after I tuned them. That was frustrating. I was even thinking to return the violin. Luckily on the third and fourth days, the strings stayed on the right tune for much longer time. Maybe some new violins need longer time to stretch out.
