Mendini by Cecilio Violin 4/4 Full Size Kit For Beginners - Hand Carved Acoustic Violins Set - Fiddle Solid Wood Kit with Hard Case, Bow, Rosin, Shoulder Rest, Bridge and Extra Strings

It is great, I had a problem with the Mi String its sound was cold, I reduced 1.5mm from the bridge of the side of that string, and now it perfectly 100% match the sound that I hear from 1000$ professional Violin's.

Great Sound for a small price but the sound post was fallen and it was very tricky to put it back.

The strings werenot durable in just one week when my tutor was adjusting to get a good sound the string torn into pieces

殆ど経験もないに等しいので個人的な感想になりますが、そりゃお高いものと比べれば違いは歴然です。しかしちょっと触ってみたいな。別に他人に聴かせる訳じゃないし…という人にはお手頃でいいと思います。 問題点は調弦のときにDストリングがすぐに切れてしまいました。付属のストリングに替えましたが今のところそちらは大丈夫です。たまたま不良品だったのか分かりませんが。 弓の毛が何本か切れてぶら下がっていました、が、そこだけ切り取れば特に問題なし。 付属の松脂は割れてるし固すぎるし到底粉が着くような代物ではありませんがそのくらいは想定内。一応弾ける程度にはつきましたけどすぐ取れるので別のところでちゃんとしたものを買いました。 あとブリッジに溝がありませんでした。 ペグは少し緩めかなという印象。楽器屋での調弦後でも一日経つと音が少し狂います。(これは楽器屋での調弦がダメだったのかも知れませんが…)そのあと自分で直したのですがそのあとはまだどうなのか確認しないと分かりません。 でも思い出してずっとまた触りたいという衝動を解消できたので全体的にはいい買い物でした。

[Scroll to the bottom for Feb2020 Update] March 2019 - First time Review Overall, amazing. This violin sounds amazing. Clear, crisp, and does not sound like a toy; which is what I thought it would sound like. Lets get into the details. What's good: Body and Bridge, Tailpiece, the Case. What's bad: Pegs, Chinrest, End Pin, The bow. The Body is solid, the paint coating seems to give the violin a slightly mellower sound which is good if thats the type of sound you are looking for (like me). The paint job is not the best, but its not like anyone is really going to see it. The bridge is actually very well done. Although, I wasnt a huge fan of how high the feet were. I cut a new bridge with an old Aubert bridge I had from 2008. It certainly enhanced the sound more than the original bridge, but if I had no option, I'd be perfectly happy with the two supplied bridges it came with. The bow was unfortunately useless, dont use it unless you want to get turned off from starting the violin. Not straight, barely any arching, but at least the hair is nice. you can probably use it for parts. The chinrest and endpin were no good either. Rough, and will probably give you a rash on your chin because its like putting your chin on sand paper. I replaced it. The tailpiece is good! The tailpiece is not alloy. It is plastic. Although I truly prefer plastic over metal for a tailpiece. I was never a huge fan of 4x fine tuners though, so I replaced it as well. But you can bet that I'll be keeping the tailpiece to use on another violin. The pegs are usable, not much to say, but I'll replace that eventually. I still have to test them to see how they will work for me. The rosin, despite what everyone says, is actually usable. Mine came as one piece. The shoulder rest seems to work. not as comfortable as a wolf secondo, but if you dont have a shoulder rest, it is usable. The case is the best I've seen for a budget violin outfit. it seems snug and i feel confident it will keep my violin safe. The strings also get a bad rep. They are great starter strings, don't throw them away, they are playable. I'm not the biggest fan of steel strings and they are too thin for my liking, but if you set up your violin properly (specifically the bridge) then they will sounds crist and clear and bright. A bit too bright for my taste though. Mods: I spent and additional 17 dollars to replace the chinrest, end pin, Tailpiece, and bridge (bridge was free, i had a spare uncut bridge lying around. That i ended up cutting myself to fit into this gorgeous violin) With only a few mods and maybe 30 min of cutting a bridge + setting up the violin, I ended up with an amazing violin i'm super happy about. February 2020 Update: The sound didnt open up as much as I hoped it would. I guess the paint makes the sound restricted. At this rate I would not recommend purchasing this if you are hoping it will sound better later. I made some major mods on it. I replaced the fingerboard because it isnt real ebony. Upgraded the tailpiece, chin rest, and pegs to planetary tuners. It is more enjoyable to play but again, the sound is taking forever to open up.

The violin arrived broken. So why am I giving it 5 stars? I've been interested in learning the violin but always thought it would be too expensive. I was surprised to find a complete violin kit as inexpensive as the Mendini, and even though I'm on the wrong end of the 50+ age group, at this price I thought I might as well give it a try. The violin was delivered Friday and I was surprised at the quality. Yes, I'm a complete noob but the violin looked well made and the case looked just as good as the $100 cases my kids got from school. With my sons help, we set about tuning the violin only to discover that the neck was no longer connected to the body. The glue had failed and no doubt the string tension pulled it apart during shipping. I was disappointed that I couldn't start learning that day, but in a few minutes on the Amazon site I had the return/replace order put in .... and, can you believe Amazon had a new violin on my doorstep that Sunday! I love Amazon! This violin was unbroken, and I set about tuning the strings using an iPhone app, applying rosin and searching youtube for an online violin tutor. I can tell you I am surprised at how much is involved in playing the violin. You will want to order some liquid rosin for the tuning knobs so they stay tuned, but after a few weeks everything seems pretty tight. The violin looks surprisingly good - it even has the fine tuners on the tailpiece. Honestly, I don't know how they can sell it at such a low price. I'm really enjoying the challenge of learning to play. In a few weeks I've actually progressed to makings sounds that only resemble one or two cats caught in a desk fan. I'm following an online violin/piano tutor and she stresses that it takes a lot of practice, so don't be discouraged. I started practicing last night, and was very surprised that I could bow all the notes without looking at the strings ... I'm making slow progress, but it's still progress. It's surprising how much you can enjoy learning an instrument when you don't have to worry about grades or disappointing a music teacher! This is an ideal violin for the beginner. Darned if I can tell a difference between the sound of this inexpensive violin and the high dollar violin the online tutor uses. In fact, she reviewed the Mendini and gave it her own thumbs up. I don't know how far I will get with the violin, but at this price just being introduced to the violin these past two weeks has been well worth the money I spent.

My Rosin came broken and cracked

Buena relacion calidad/precio Perfeto e tiene todo de bueno para iniciar en la musica. La opinion es de un musico , no es mia
