" ... What I received is plastic, and the tuning pegs don’t tighten. ... It’s completely plastic and cheap!!! ... "
" ... My daughter loved it at first but for some reason the strings keep getting loosening up due to pegs . ... "
" ... The tuning pegs were all stripped and would not hold strings. ... "
" ... Parts are flimsy cheap plastic. ... "
" ... The silver piece holding the strings on the bow broke after playing only a few times. ... Pegs would not hold the strings and would take 10 minutes each time to tune. ... "
" ... My 4yo was not able to play it and during his first lesson the G string fell off and the bridge fell as well. ... "
" ... Unfortunately, I now have to wait for a replacement because it came in with a split in the wood. ... "
" ... Broke within the 1st hour. ... "

" ... If you are going for a cheap violin . ... "
" ... The pegs certainly required a lot of peg dope to keep them from slipping but even then it is hard to keep this in tune for even one practice session. ... "
" ... I bought this violin for my daughter, it is a piece of junk & will fall apart in just a handful it uses. ... "
" ... The bow was so tight that it would not play and was difficult to loosen up. ... The string pegs did not hold and it had to he constantly re tuned. ... "
" ... My son just used the violin several times before the string on it totally fall down. ... "
" ... My bow is falling apart ... "

Cut

" ... The bow is of very low quality and I suspect the hair is not horse hair but some kind of man made fiber, which will still slide across the strings making an unpleasant sound no matter how much rosin you load up on it. ... "
" ... 1 complaint is the bow hair is not very good. ... Out of the package a few hairs were loose which we cut off and now probably every few weeks we've had to cut off a few more hairs that have snapped. ... thankfully she will outgrow the violin before we run out of bow hair. ... The bow hair also doesn't seem to have the correct tension, we had to tighten the bow more than expected to get a clean sound. ... "
" ... The bow had about half the hairs it should have had, and they were yellowed and broke easily. ... "
" ... The bow of the violin has loosed a lot of hair! ... "
" ... When opened the box, the Rosin is all broken into pieces & the hair on bow was popping out. ... "

" ... My pegs slipped, they slipped bad, I tried to use some rosin dust to get it tight and that worked somewhat, but I broke down and got some peg drops, Two drops on each peg right before tuning, and then use inward pressure on the peg as you tune and they have worked perfectly, no slipping. ... "
" ... Terrible paint job which doesn’t cover the entire back. ... "
