Review: Great For What You Receive - Having never played violin before, I wanted to purchase a combo kit that wouldn't break the budget if I ended up regretting undertaking the endeavor. This Mendini package fit the bill perfectly. As someone who is teaching himself the art of violin, these are my observations and recommendations to anyone looking to try this instrument for the first time and are considering buying this set. Most importantly: -Purchase new rosin! Having never used rosin before, let alone knew what it was, I had to assume that what was included would be average quality to allow me to start playing. But after watching videos, learning how to rosin a bow and how to "break in" new rosin, I spent days attempting to get my bow to make anything resembling a sustained note across the strings. After much frustration I purchased a new stick of beginner level rosin from a different vendor, and the difference in quality and performance is TREMENDOUS. I cannot stress this enough. Three swipes with the new rosin after proper preparation and the violin sounded beautiful. Had I known the quality difference before hand, I could have saved myself a week of frustration. This in my opinion, is this combo set's biggest flaw, and is easily remedied by an approximately 3 dollar stick of quality rosin. -The violin itself is visually beautiful (nothing to compare it to) and tuning would have been much easier with a tuner. For the first week the violin would not stay in tune, I assume because it was being pressure held and the strings were new. This issue has resolved itself after the first few weeks. The fine tuners are greatly appreciated and allow you to get close with the tuning pegs, then slowly refine. A nice addition if you're a perfectionist. -The case itself is beautiful. It has a red interior and matching cloth cover to protect the violin. According to other reviews the case alone is worth the price. If this is true I'm unsure, but it is of sound quality and protects the violin nicely. I can safely say that the case is of higher quality than the violin, and you will likely replace the later long before needing to replace the case. The accessories I'm going to lump into a single category, as I don't know enough, even after observing to comment on their quality. The bows work as intended, I noticed no defects but again I have nothing to compare to. The strings make sound, which is a bonus, and the bridge that came on the violin hasn't snapped on me yet. Having a backup is a benefit if it should ever fail. The shoulder rest, I do not use, but it seems like an entry level piece and I simply don't use it out of preference. So to sum things up: This is an entry level violin, perfect for learning. Buy new rosin, accept that you will be tuning frequently for the first week, and you'll enjoy your purchase.
Review: Perfect for the beginner! Love the sound and quality! - We have had this violin for about 8 months now and it still plays beautifully. This Violin is just right for my 7 yr. old son to start learning the basics. It looks and sounds nice-everything came in one piece (and assembled) and nothing is broken, crooked or misaligned. The only complaint that I have is the packaging -it came in a basic cardboard box (not very sturdy) that did not have any padding whatsoever. I am very fortunate nothing was broken in shipment. I used to play the Viola when I was younger-so I'm familiar with the strings. Before going with this company, I did a lot of research on what kind of inexpensive violin is good. Almost everybody said "do not buy a cheap violin-spend 300 or 400 dollars." Right! That is easier said than done. Not many people have that kind of money to spend on their children for something that may be very temporary (if they end up not wanting to play for example). So I decided on this as a trial, if he continues to play, then I can look at a better quality violin (for Carnegie Hall). I loved the quality and price of this particular violin so much that I bought another more inexpensive Mendini MV200 violin for me to help my son practice (review to come on that as soon as I get it). I also looked at the various color versions of the violins (one of the pretty blue colors). Just something fun for home, but was swayed by many people not to buy a painted violin because the tone and sound quality would be slightly off. A violin needs to vibrate freely throughout the wood, painting it hinders the sound (just a bit). Also, keep in mind-if you are looking for an inexpensive violin for your child, many schools will not allow a colorful violin because it is a distraction from the rest of the orchestra-not to mention the sound quality. I am very happy with this purchase and trust Mendini as well as KK Music Store with their exceptional 1 year warranty (where I bought both violins through desertcart) for future purchases.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Where is the Mendini 4/4 MV400 made?**
A: It does not say in the Violin-it only says Cecilio Mendini. I would call Cecilio directly and ask them: 877-232-4546

**Q: I am looking at buying this for my Son who would like to learn to play the violin. Does it matter that he is left handed?**
A: You could have it set up to be played left handed. A good luthier can do this. basically the nut and bridge are going to be set up where the G-D-A-E will be E-A-D-G. like a mirror image. YES there have been a few bluegrass players that play left handed fiddle. Bob Wills even had a left handed fiddle player. Katrina Pearcec is a left handed fiddle player and she plays bluegrass music. So the answer to your question is. It does not matter if he is left handed. Just have the instrument set up to be played left handed.

**Q: Does this violin come assembled**
A: I am a luthier and my wife is a violin teacher. One of her students brought me this exact violin (MV400) to have set up work done.  Here is a list of what needed to be done: Refit the bridge feet, thin bridge blank, carve out excess wood from bridge, lower bridge arch for proper string heights, fit pegs and re-drill peg holes, lower and reprofile nut and re-slot string grooves, new tailpiece (cheap tailpiece only lasted 2 weeks before fine tuners seized up), new strings (cheap strings sounded truly awful, and started fraying after 2 weeks), remove excess varnish from neck/ fingerboard joint and smooth, and finally a new soundpost. The fingerboard was adequate, and I left it alone.
The instrument itself is not terrible, and the pegs and fingerboard were of reasonable quality, but the tailpiece and string quality and very inadequate setup will have you spending an additional $200-$300 and I haven't even mentioned the awful bow, crummy shoulder rest, and crummy rosin. The instrument sounds reasonably good now after all the work, though at the end of the day, you still have a $100 violin. You really get what you pay for.

**Q: Where is this violin made?**
A: I looked on the Cecilio site and they only inform you that they are hand made and tested in "overseas factories and then re-inspect them at... Los Angeles distribution center." So It could be China, but for all we know it could be Italy.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent!
*by W***M on September 7, 2012*

Hey guys, I'm William - 14 years old and I bought this violin for my freshman year and just received it a day ago. So this is my initial review of the instrument and how I thought of it. *Arrived exactly on time - 2 day shipping as promised. *Came with all accessories advertised - set of violin strings, bridge, rosin, 2 bows, case (and backpack straps), and shoulder rest. *Package that it was shipped in was well protected, I think - basically there's an outer case to hold the inner case to hold the actual case of the violin. Between the outer and inner case, it was insulated with tons of paper for protection. *First impression - WOW! The finish looked much nicer than my previous instrument I bought in store which was like $428 (I was size 3/4 at the time, had to upgrade to 4/4 hence buying this) *Instrument 'looks' detail - The instrument looked amazing to me, but I noticed like the black line that 'outlines' the violin was faded on some parts, but no big deal; you wouldn't even notice it unless your actually STARING at it close up. The picture of this violin on Amazon at first to me, looked...horrible, it looked to 'bright'. But trust me, looks so much better when you see it with your own eyes. *Tuning - My G peg, at first I thought it was loose because it kept winding backwards every time I tried to tune it; turns out I just had to push it in slowly as I tune. I had luck tuning the other strings without breaking it, but then I popped my G-string attempting to tune it *sigh* so I used the new spare one in the packet. Oh yeah, new instruments/strings will constantly become out of tune even after you just tuned it because the string is still adapting/stretching, so you will probably tune it 8+ times a day for 1 or more week. *Shoulder Rest - The shoulder rest that came with this was...uncomfortable, so I just used my shoulder rest from my 3/4 violin since the pad is bigger and more 'cushiony'. *Bows - Bows, eh...their O.K. *Soundpost came intact - This is my first time ordering a violin online, so I was extremely worried about the soundpost not being attactched since it's getting banged around in a truck, but it came intact - YAY! *Bridge - My bridge came set up with my violin already, I didn't have to install it. 3-5-2013 Edit: It's been a bit more than half a year since I've owned this violin. I noticed some quirks in this violin compared to my old store rental violin. First, this violin is obviously of lower quality wood and the strings it comes with has a very...steel sound. My old violin had a warm, beautiful tone. This violin also doesn't stay in tune very well, since I have to tune it almost every day; compared to my old violin which was rare (once a week or once every 2 weeks). Also, the bow has very little hair compared to my old violin's bow and my classmates, which was full and thick; this one is noticeably thinner and of lower quality hair. I use the same rosin on this bow as my old bow, but the hair just doesn't seem to 'hold' onto the rosin very well. Nonetheless, I still recommend this product for BEGINNERS! If you're advancing up to something good, eh, don't get this.
