The fingerboard is not real ebony. It's painted black. My daughter's fingers turned black after playing the violin for a few minutes. Even the neck of the violin started turning black from paint smearing over it. Sound quality is poor either due to low string quality of the violin itself.

My first violin and its great! I wasnt shipped the lesson book or tuner by accident, but they have offered to ship them to me in a quick manner! Their response time is great and when there was a problem they personally called me to fix everything.

At first, the 4/4 size Cecilio CVN-300 looked good to me. I am a beginner on violin, but I have
played guitar for years. I was trying to learn from a DVD course. I tuned up with the included
Digital tuner each time, but each note I played on the fingerboard was always about 1/2 step
sharp. Though the violin looked nice, I could not use it! Good communication with retailer
through Amazon.ca for return. Relatively easy to return the item. I bought a much higher quality
violin from an independent Music store. So far, I am very happy with my newer purchase!
Thank You!

Valió la pena la espera. Llegó 2 días después de la fecha, al parecer por retraso en la paquetería.
Cumple con lo que el vendedor publica.
Incluye funda y demás accesorios. Llegó en buen estado en su caja y una caja extra por parte de Amazon para mayor protección.
Recomiendo.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent violin (add ons, not so much)
Reviewed in the United States on February 7, 2017
Size: 4/4-size (full-size)Colour Name: VarnishVerified Purchase
I'm an adult beginner who always wished I learned to play violin. I'm not getting any younger, so I decided to just go for it. Having no experience purchasing a violin before, I did a TON of research and watched video reviews by several professionals. I'll save you some time. Buy this violin. Not only a beginner instrument, it should also take you into your intermediate years, which was a big plus in making my decision. The sound quality is great, at least to me, but obviously it's not going to sound like a professional instrument. The violin itself is beautiful and glossy. I did have some issues in the beginning with the pegs slipping but that seems to be normal for a brand new instrument (they don't slip anymore). It stays in tune quite nicely with just minor adjustments with the fine tuners. The fingerboard did make my fingertips black for a while, but that wore off fairly quickly. I really love this instrument!

I am giving it 5 stars because the instrument itself is great, however the add ons... not so much:

- Bows: It comes with 2, which is nice and they seem decent, but I had a nicer bow given to me and it's definitely better.

- Shoulder rest: Do yourself a favor and just add a better one to your cart right now, you'll be happy you did. This thing is absolute junk, extremely uncomfortable, and didn't hold the violin in the right place no matter what I did to adjust it. When I got a better one it was a world of difference!

- Rosin: Seems decent and I used it for a while (it did need to be scored first) but I bought some jade rosin a month or so ago and I could immediately hear the sound was better (and I'll take anything that makes me sound even slightly better at this point!).

- Strings: It's been three months am still using the ones that came with the instrument. They seem great to me! I wish it came with a second set!

- Tuner/metronome: I never even put batteries in it. It doesn't seem like something that's well made. I just use an app on my phone.

- Lesson book: This book is awesome! It's pretty much the only book I am using, and my tutor also agrees it's a great beginner book. Obviously it starts with the basics and builds you up. It indicates there are songs on a disc that match up, but my book did not come with a disc. There is a link on the very first page where you can download the songs though, which is VERY helpful!

- Case: Decent. It has a zipper pocket on the outer top of the case, perfect for a small notebook. The lesson book is a little too big to fit in it all the way though. The case closes with a zipper and velcro flap. There's a space inside to store your rosin and extra bridge. The case lid doesn't stay open though, which is annoying. The hinge should allow it to go back just an inch more so it doesn't slam shut on you. Otherwise, it's a case and it does its job.

All in all, I am super happy with my purchase and learning to play has been such a joy (and not as hard as I thought it would be)!

Reviewed in the United States on January 18, 2017
Size: 1/2-sizeColour Name: VarnishVerified Purchase
For starters I am not an expert violin player. I purchased the full size version and the 1/2 size for my son, we are learning the violin together. I have played the guitar for years. I have played the violin for about 2 months, I have an electric violin, my son had a 1/4 size acoustic, my son grew out of his so I just got us both a new acoustic.

The violin comes with d'addario strings - which sound very nice. The violin sounds nice and looks just like the picture - its obviously not hand stained - but its nice and shiny. It plays pretty well (I am obviously not the best player in the world, i don't hit the other strings too much - or at least much more than I do on other instruments). The bow feels a little heavier then ones I have used before so it takes a little getting used to that, but I don't think its a bad bow.

It tunes pretty easy. I tuned both of the violins in about 5 minutes - granted I have played guitar for years so I am not new to the process of tuning string instruments but violins are MUCH harder to tune than guitars - and cheap violins often times are really hard - and then they don't stay in tune after for that long.

The case is good, about what you would expect and everything they said that comes with it did. The tuner is also a metronome which is a good thing to have for a student. For the price, this is a very good violin. If I had spent 150 or 200 for this I wouldn't feel ripped off, I think the violin sounds good - and is very playable. I would recommend this to people looking to start violin, you're not spending a fortune and you're not getting a cheap violin that is very hard to tune, wont stay in tune and the bridge just makes you hit other strings all the time. The violin is a hard instrument to learn, so I wouldn't recommend spending much more that 200 dollars for a first violin in case you don't stick with it but having said that, I don't know if I would go too cheap either because if the violin is cheap and doesn't sound good and doesn't play well at all, the cheapness of the violin you're trying to learn with adds to the difficulty, this violin seems like a good medium and really they could probably charge a little more for it.

Also for parents wondering how loud their kids violin will be:
The violin is fairly loud, so you even with a practice mute will hear in the next room, violins are not quiet, no matter what you try - if you buy an electric silent violin which is the one I started with, its quieter but you can still hear it in the next room. Acoustic violins are a little better sounding, actually they're a lot better sounding - so just buy earplugs.
