Product Overview
I recently purchased the Mendini by Cecilio Beginner Violin Kit for my 11 year old daughter and I am very pleased with it. The kit includes everything you need to start learning how to play the violin, from the bow, strings, rosin, and shoulder rest to a lightweight hard case and straps.
The design of the violin is elegant and attractive, with a solid wood hand carved spruce top maple back, neck and sides, an alloy tailpiece with four built in fine tuners, and a beautiful finish. It also comes in several sizes so you can choose the one that is best for you. To measure which size violin is best for you, simply measure from the neck to the middle of your left hand palm as if holding an invisible violin in straight outstretched arm.

The sound quality of this instrument is quite good for a beginner. Though not as good as more expensive instruments, it still produces a nice sound that is pleasant to listen to. The craftsmanship of this violin is also very nice for the price. The build quality is good and there are no major flaws or defects.
Overall, I would highly recommend this Mendini by Cecilio Beginner Violin Kit for anyone looking for an affordable instrument to learn on. It has all the necessary components needed to get started playing and produces a decent sound quality despite its inexpensive price tag. The design is attractive and the craftsmanship is quite good considering its cost. Additionally, it comes in several sizes so you can choose one that suits your needs. My daughter loves it and I am sure she will be playing it for many years to come!
