I bought this new violin on e.bay for less than $80. We upgraded Lance from his 1/2 to a full size because the boy just keeps growing. We just didn't have the extra cash to pay for a "new" used one for $900. We got it a few days ago and I broke a string for the kid before he even got to see it. Today was the big test, we took it to lessons with us and his teacher tuned it for us. It sounds okay, what do you expect for under a hundred dollars. It has a strange echo to it and the sound is a little off. We're going to work with it until Lance starts making money from playing, then he can upgrade on his own. Since I don't play violin, I can only judge it by how pretty it is and it sure is pretty and new.
Don't worry we will bring it with us this year on vacation to give all the grandparents concerts. Also, the old one is being handed down to Liam and he will start lessons next fall.
