Yes. Even though it's made in China, it's of good quality.
great quality
Palatino violins are strictly 'entry-level' low cost and suitable for beginner's.
I just priced one here in MOntreal at around $500
Yes, unfourtnantly they are out of production. The style was a little different from fender's electric violin's models but it still had the same quality sound for a cheaper price.
Good luck finding an honest appraiser! Violin resellers need their cut so they cannot answer exactly. As a student, I ask my experienced teacher about these things. A good quality violin that old is likely to be worth a lot, so get many quotes to form your opinion.

Anything coming from the Suzuki co will be garbage basically. If you want a quality violin from China go to eBay and look for Yita Music, or Melody with Violin stores. For a few hundred dollars you can get a great quality violin

The violin I am using now was $2,000 when I bought it five years ago and was bought to get me through high school. The cheapest violin I've ever bought was $100. It was my first violin so its tone was not good and it was very hard to tune. To get a good quality violin, it usually cost $1000-$5000. It just kind of depends on whether you're looking for a violin for a beginner, intermediate, or advanced person.
southwest strings by cheap i mean around $200 which is relatively cheap for a violin and they are good quality at southwest strings. Anything less than that at any other place will probably be bad quality. I bought my vioin for around $100 and Vivace Music Store and the quality is quite good. I used it for 3 years now, and it's still in very good shape.
depends on the quality
violin because it describes more pain
Generally, student violins are not bought based upon the brand, but by the maker of the violin. Any violin that one buys that is less than roughly 250 USD is not going to be of very good quality. If you buy a violin online, you might have to get the bridge completely readjusted (just for your information). It would be much better to go to a music store or a violin shop and see if you can get a nice violin for a reasonable price instead of buying a violin online.
The German violins are considered to be the best in the world.
