No soy experto ni nada parecido, estoy empezando a aprender. Habiendo dicho eso, considero que la calidad por el costo es excelente. Suena bien a mi parecer, se siente de buena calidad y ad hoc para comenzar a estudiar

I received the violin in the wrong case. The case was not blue, it was green and had only two bow holders instead of four. The violin was not damaged when shipped and its appearance was very nice. However, when I got it tuned, the violin felt and sounded like a toy. It went easily out of tune and did not project well. After comparing it to another Cremona Premier Artist violin, it did not meet my expectations.

I was looking for a step up above a beginners violin.I feel that this accomplished just that. It arrived safely, with the bridge installed. I was playing within an hour opening the box and the tone is great. I played for 10 years, but then had a 10 year hiatus and was excited to get back into it. I feel that everything came back to me very naturally and I still have a good enough ear to be able to distinguish decent quality.
The violin came with D’Addario Prelude strings. I may upgrade to Dominant strings, but these actually sound pretty good. I tuned it multiple times, very slowly over the course of an hour to stretch out the new strings so I didn’t snap any. They were all fine after a few tunings, except the E string was having trouble staying put. I rubbed a bit of birthday candle wax on the peg and tried again and it stuck great. I didn’t expect it to stay in tune throughout its first practice, but it did!
I was happy to receive a wooden bow This is my first experience with an octagonal shaped bow and I like it. It came with an Anton Breton rosin block, which isn’t as bad as the typical stock rosin. Nevertheless, I upgraded to Kaplan Premium cake rosin because I feel that a good quality rosin is key to good sound.
The violin itself is beautiful. It had good, flattened points. The scroll is carved deep enough into the box that I cannot see the end. I do not think it goes all the way around which denotes the best quality, but considering I can’t really tell I say it passes! The wood and all the fittings appear to be good quality. There were just a couple things left to be desired. The purfling appears to be painted on rather than inlaid as it should be. I think it is completely functional regardless, as even some of the best violin makers (Testore) painted their purfling. ~EDIT: After further examination I believe the purfling is actually inlaid, as the grain of the wood is different and lighter in color.~ There is also one blemish on the center of the chin rest, which is a bit disappointing, but nothing to deter me from keeping it.
The case is great. It is a rectangle shape and a brownish color with blue velvet on the inside. It had a zipper, lock&key, 2 carrying straps and 4 buttons, it is very secure! It has 4 spaces for bows, a blanket to cover the violin, and the cubby inside was big enough to fit my rosin and shoulder rest (an Everest which is great, highly recommended and 1/3 the price of a Kun).
Overall, I feel that for the price, it is an excellent violin. It is not a professional grade instrument, but definitely a step up from the cheaper student violin.

I am a retired 71-year old, Certified Teacher and Professional Educator exploring the opportune possibility of learning to play violin for both personal pleasure and recreational relaxation purposes that can be obtained from the learning experience as a worthwhile constructive activity. This CREMONA 4/4 VIOLIN is an excellent purchase for both the superb quality and the reasonable price. I had seen a review of its performance details and components assembly specifications on the Web, and I decided to buy it. I do not regret this purchase. I am a brand-new beginner, and I knew nothing about playing violin. The manual that accompanied this instrument, issued by CREMONA for tuning, detailing of components, the structural arrangment of parts, and the care this instrument necessitates, were awesome information for practical applications that provided me with a good starting point. I then went on the WEB to watch videos on Violin playing techniques and on general information and more specific instructions about how to play the instrument, and discovered that CREMONA’s informative provisions were correctly stated, without any conflicting deviations from practical standards for performing with strings instruments belonging to the Violin category. All in all, I am very satisfied with the price, the quality, the actual performance, the practical information provided, and the fidelity of sounded notes, for resonance of authentic tuning tones, as applicable for each specific string, sums of which, corresponding exactly to the tuning accuracy obtained from, and confirmed by, both chromatic electronic tuners and mouth-operated manual pitch-pipes. In sum, I would recommend this SV-500 CREMONA 4/4 Violin, without any dissimulation or pretense, as to its genuine excellent quality and true fidelity to authentic violin sounds, as well as, for its reflection of true tonality of musical notes when it’s properly tuned for actual performance. If I may, I would like to suggest some needed improvements on ROSIN constitution and consistency, for achieving a greater degree of “clinging granulation” that would increase the degree of adhesion to the bow’s hairs when the ROSIN is being applied. I found the ROSIN a little too dry and too hard, which makes it difficult, not only for residual fine-powdery granulation, but also, harder to gauge how much pressure is to be applied to the bow, when its hair is making contact with the ROSIN, so as to climax into optimum ROSIN grain retention by the bow’s hair. Perhaps, a moderate modification of the ROSIN’s constitutional chemistry, intending a minimum degree of “mollification” of the ROSIN’s substance, yet, without bringing it to a “humid consistency” or to a “pasty constitution” akin to the softness of clay, might increase both the amount of ROSIN that clings to the bow’s hair after lengthy application, and the facilitation of faster adhesion of the ROSIN’s finely granulated excipients, as the bow is being rubbed against its surface, in order to, in the end, minimize the time needed for achieving the optimum level of ROSIN retention by the bow’s hair. I certainly thank CREMONA for its excellent quality of workmanship, reasonable pricing, and authentic string instrument tonality and genuine fidelity in resonance, during actual performance. Sincerely, Leo *

I am a returning player only been about 16 years… but I love this violin for the price. the packaging was a massive box that was not padded at all and partially opened when it got here, the bridge was out of place and the sound post needed to be adjusted. the case is nice nothing special but functional, the violin is awesome, and the bow is garbage I’ve seen better $25 bows, so make sure you have a bow to use.

El precio estรก genial, pero el artรญculo venรญa sin su manta de protecciรณn y el arco estaba suelto y habรญa marcado un poco el violรญn. He solicitado reemplazo y estoy esperando que me manden el violรญn nuevo. El sonido de este violรญn es bueno. Calidad-precio inmejorable.
