In order to judge whether a violin is a good beginner violin, we must make sure the violin passes our 8 point test. Here it is:
-Make sure that the fine tuners (located under the bridge) can easily turn both ways without resistance.
-Make sure the violin is made of solid wood. Please kindly note that many inexpensive violins sold online use inferior woods like plywood (laminated). Unfortunately, due to the tension created by the strings onto the bridge, plywood made violins usually break within 6 months.
-Make sure that the person using the violin can easily push down on the strings. If they cannot push down on the string comfortably, either the bridge needs to be recut or the fingerboard nut is too high.
-Make sure that the strings are evenly spaced out on the fingerboard nut (located at the top of the violin)
-Make sure that there are no plastic parts
-Make sure that the bridge is curved enough so your bow won't play on two strings at once
-Make sure that the strings are equally spaced out on the bridge so your bow won't play on two strings at once
-Make sure the violin is made with inlaid purfling, which is a strip of wood added to the edges of the front and back of the violin to protect the violin from cracks.
If the violin you are looking at does not pass one of these eight points, we would discourage you from buying it. They will end up costing you a lot of money to fix or replace. We highly discourage individuals to buy a violin less than $150 (off sites like eBay or Amazon) because those instruments tend to be made of inferior materials (such a plywood) and are not properly shop adjusted (meaning that you could spend up to $75 at your local shop just setting it up properly). A quality beginner violin outfit is our Mozart Violins Model 12 Classic Violin.
Another mistake we often find is that individuals don't know what size violin to purchase. The size of the violin is how long the violin is. There are four main sizes for violins: 1/4, 1/2, 3/4 and 4/4 size. To figure out what size violin you need, watch our sizing video by going to MozartViolins.com and clicking on Violin Tips.
