I purchased the full size version and the 1/2 size for my son, we are learning the violin together. I have played the guitar for years. I have played the violin for about 2 months, I have an electric violin, my son had a 1/4 size acoustic, my son grew out of his so I just got us both a new acoustic. The violin comes with d'addario strings - which sound very nice. The violin sounds nice and looks just like the picture - its obviously not hand stained - but its nice and shiny. It plays pretty well (I am obviously not the best player in the world, i don't hit the other strings too much - or at least much more than I do on other instruments). The bow feels a little heavier then ones I have used before so it takes a little getting used to that, but I don't think its a bad bow. It tunes pretty easy. I tuned both of the violins in about 5 minutes - granted I have played guitar for years so I am not new to the process of tuning string instruments but violins are MUCH harder to tune than guitars - and cheap violins often times are really hard - and then they don't stay in tune after for that long. The case is good, about what you would expect and everything they said that comes with it did. The tuner is also a metronome which is a good thing to have for a student. For the price, this is a very good violin. If I had spent 150 or 200 for this I wouldn't feel ripped off, I think the violin sounds good - and is very playable. I would recommend this to people looking to start violin, you're not spending a fortune and you're not getting a cheap violin that is very hard to tune, wont stay in tune and the bridge just makes you hit other strings all the time. The violin is a hard instrument to learn, so I wouldn't recommend spending much more that 200 dollars for a first violin in case you don't stick with it but having said that, I don't know if I would go too cheap either because if the violin is cheap and doesn't sound good and doesn't play well at all, the cheapness of the violin you're trying to learn with adds to the difficulty, this violin seems like a good medium and really they could probably charge a little more for it. Also for parents wondering how loud their kids violin will be: The violin is fairly loud, so you even with a practice mute will hear in the next room, violins are not quiet, no matter what you try - if you buy an electric silent violin which is the one I started with, its quieter but you can still hear it in the next room. Acoustic violins are a little better sounding, actually they're a lot better sounding - so just buy earplugs. Review: Awesome Value! - I was hesitant to buy a violin online for my child, but since I myself play the violin, I felt confident that I could fix it up and make it work if necessary. There were a few minor ajustments that needed to be made initially, such as placement of the bridge, but overall, I was very impressed with the violin. The main problem I had initially was that it came with a broken g-string fine tuner (which is not necessary, but super nice for beginners). I contacted the seller about that and they very quickly provided me with a replacement fine tuner. In the seven month that we have owned this violin, I have been very pleased. The sound quality is quite nice, and the value is unmatched. I am very glad that I saved myself so much money renting by buying this fine instrument instead. ## Features - Elegant Design: As beautiful as most stringed musical instruments, these violins for beginners have a solid spruce top and antique finish with inlaid purfling, it is a work of art - Pro-Grade Accessories: Equipped with an ebony fingerboard, nickel-plated fine tuners, and a chromatic tuner for precise adjustments - Easy-to-Use Design: The 1/2 size violin is tailored for novice players, providing comfortable handling and high-quality performance without complexity - Complete Learning Set: Includes all necessities to begin learning how to play the fiddle right away, ensuring a hassle-free experience - Perfect for Beginners: This violin for beginners is an ideal stringed musical instrument for students dreaming of playing music, offering a smooth start to their musical journey ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00EOYKHR4 | | Back Material Type | Maple | | Best Sellers Rank | #3,563 in Musical Instruments ( See Top 100 in Musical Instruments ) #12 in Acoustic Violins | | Body Material Type | Solid Spruce Wood, Maple Wood | | Brand | Cecilio | | Brand Name | Cecilio | | Color | Varnish | | Customer Reviews | 4.1 out of 5 stars 789 Reviews | | Finish Type | Varnish | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00847848001628 | | Hand Orientation | Right Handed | | Included Components | with case | | Instrument | Violin | | Instrument Size | Size 1/2 | | Item Dimensions | 27 x 10 x 5 inches | | Item Type Name | Violin | | Item Weight | 4 pounds | | Item dimensions L x W x H | 27 x 10 x 5 inches | | Manufacturer | Cecilio Musical Instruments | | Manufacturer Part Number | DA_1/2CVN-300+SR+92D+FB1 | | Model Name | CVN-300 | | Model Number | DA_1/2CVN-300+SR+92D+FB1 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Packs | 1 | | Number of Strings | 4 | | Operation Mode | Manual | | Set Name | Cecilio 1/2 Violin Beginner Outfit (7 Piece) | | Size | Size 1/2 | | String Material Type | Alloy Steel | | Top Material Type | Spruce | | UPC | 847848001628 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Warranty Description | 1 year warranty against manufacturer's defects. | ## Product Details - **Back Material Type:** Maple - **Brand:** Cecilio - **Color:** Varnish - **Finish Type:** Varnish - **Instrument:** Violin - **Item Weight:** 4 pounds - **Item dimensions L x W x H:** 27 x 10 x 5 inches - **Size:** Size 1/2 - **String Material Type:** Alloy Steel - **Top Material Type:** Spruce ## Images ![Cecilio 1/2 Violin Solidwood Violin with Hard Case, Bow, Rosin, Tuner, Shoulder Rest & Lesson Book – Ideal for Beginners - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81WWz6QV80L.jpg) ![Cecilio 1/2 Violin Solidwood Violin with Hard Case, Bow, Rosin, Tuner, Shoulder Rest & Lesson Book – Ideal for Beginners - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71Jfh1O+c4L.jpg) ![Cecilio 1/2 Violin Solidwood Violin with Hard Case, Bow, Rosin, Tuner, Shoulder Rest & Lesson Book – Ideal for Beginners - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81AuBwHEeXL.jpg) ![Cecilio 1/2 Violin Solidwood Violin with Hard Case, Bow, Rosin, Tuner, Shoulder Rest & Lesson Book – Ideal for Beginners - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/7145ZpQRw+L.jpg) ![Cecilio 1/2 Violin Solidwood Violin with Hard Case, Bow, Rosin, Tuner, Shoulder Rest & Lesson Book – Ideal for Beginners - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71kzK9O2voL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size, Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Is this violin suitable for a complete beginner with no prior music experience?** A: Absolutely, this violin for beginners is specifically designed for first-time players.

She had her first lesson and it was fantastic. One week later, the day before her lesson, the wire attaching the tailpiece to the body broke. It was like out of a cartoon. She was playing just fine, then it sounded a little off. Then ping ping ping pong all the wires popped loose. It looked as if it had been soddered on to the tailpiece, and one end of the wire came loose. There was no fixing it. So, my daughter couldn't practice at her next lesson. I contacted the company and they said they'd send me a replacement piece, which I was thrilled about. I didn't know if it would arrive before the next lesson so I bought another tailpiece (also off Amazon). It arrived and lo and behold it was the wrong size. By the time of my daughter's next lesson, still no replacement part from the company. Next week, still nothing. Then we went camping, and by the time we got back, still no replacement piece. I ended up returning the violin, getting a refund, and just ordering a new one. Day after the new violin arrived the replacement wire came in, FINALLY. So now I have a backup for if and when the wire on this new violin breaks. I'm figuring it will because after close inspection, it also has the wires soddered together. The replacement wire was a screw on though. Why they didn't just use that style to begin with is beyond me. After all is said and done, it's a good violin and I would recommend it. However don't depend on the company's customer service. My daughter lost 3 weeks of lesson over a really simple part. I blame myself for putting so much faith in the company to correct things. ## Frequently Bought Together - Cecilio CVN-300 Solidwood Ebony Fitted Violin with D'Addario Prelude Strings, Size 1/2 - Essential Elements for Strings - Violin Book 1 with EEi Book/Online Media --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.pa/products/8474409-cecilio-1-2-violin-solidwood-violin-with-hard-case-bow](https://www.desertcart.com.pa/products/8474409-cecilio-1-2-violin-solidwood-violin-with-hard-case-bow) --- *Product available on Desertcart Panama* *Store origin: PA* *Last updated: 2026-09-05*
