Cecelio cvn-500 3/4 violin
 
Review Date: October 12, 2007
Reviewer: G. Brooks,
I purchased this violin for my daughter to start orchestra.My local music store showed me what to look for in a quality violin,like having the name inside the violin itself and a serial number which this one did. The satin finish is perfect for hiding finger prints. This violin is every bit just as nice as the $400.00 to $500.00 dollar violins I was looking at in the music store. It came with everything to get started including a chin rest and an extra bow. My daughter has played it in orchestra for about a month and no problems.
Great Violin for the Price

Reviewer: MitsyPuppy,
I just received this outfit today. Here are my first impressions:

Looks: The violin has a nice antique finish. The sides and back are nicely flamed. It looks like it is a much more expensive unit. It seems to be built well - I don't have to worry about the back splitting in half at some point.

Sound: The strings that come with are satisfactory, but I would recommend replacing them with some Dominants. The original strings sound good once you rosin the bow for about five minutes (see below), but they are still not very responsive. The violin holds its tune well.

Accessories: This unit comes with two bows. The product description says they are real wood, but they sure do feel a lot like plastic. You really have to rosin them up forever before they will produce any sound. I would suggest buying a half decent bow for thirty bucks at the local music shop. I would also replace the rosin that comes with, as it seems to be a bit "dried out". The extra bridge and pitch pipes are a bonus. The case is surprisingly nice and protects the instrument well.

Overall, I don't think you can beat the price for this unit. If you are willing to replace the strings and bow for an extra sixty dollars, this outfit will still be much cheaper than others on the market. It is a great value for the price.

This is a great violin for both beginners and advanced players

Reviewer: B. Hu,
I took a chance on this violin, and I am really glad I did. The sound quality of this violin is truly excellent. The finishing job is good, but not super. The strength of this violin is its beatiful sound quality. My opinion is that the finishing quality is pretty much worth what you are paying for, but the sound quality is at least worth 3 to 4 times the price of this unit.
Takes a Little Work, Good for Beginners
 
Review Date: October 21, 2008
Reviewer: j-rob-82, Virginia
I have had this violin for about 7 or 8 months and I have had to put new pegs, strings, bridge, fine tuners, shoulder rest, chin rest, and bow just to get a somewhat desirable sound, comfort out of it. My fine tuners stopped working and the strings, bow, bridge that come with it are kinda cheap. I guess you kinda get what you pay for but this is a good violin for a beginner which I am. Anyone who is a beginner should not get a expensive violin considering since I got it my time playing has declined due to children and other life situations so it was probably better not too spend too much money on it. I still practice but not as much as I like.
Good Violin for the Price

Reviewer: ,
My first problem and I'm not sure if this is just only me but I broke a bridge the third time I tried to tune it and it wasn't that much pressure. Good thing it came with a extra one. I have had it for about 4 days and the G and D strings come out of tune when I tune A and E and I used peg drops.So I figured I would just buy a better bridge since they do look kinda cheap.When adjusting the G string it snapped so I put on the extra and it snapped.With not much pressure.Maybe I just have bad strings.I decided with the price of the violin maybe I should just check into better strings.This could be just a problem with the violin I have.From other reviews it sounds like it might be.

If you are new to the violin I recommended getting the korg chromatic tuner and peg drops plus they are pretty cheap to find.Might not hurt to buy extra strings and a better bridge for when the two it comes with go out.

It sounds great though for the price.I am just a starter to the violin but in my mind its a pretty good starting point until I advance.Comes with mostly everything you need to get started.Even though I had problems I still highly recommend it.
