What makes a good beginner violin?

Xiaoyu Violins has been providing quality beginner violins since 1997. When no one else offers violins online, Xiaoyu Violins makes a handcrafted and professionally set-up instrument available to anyone.  

With the endless selection of violins now available online and in more local music stores, choosing a good violin requires more knowledge and foresight. It's exciting that more people can explore their musical passion, but trying to compare beginner violins on the web can quickly become overwhelming as many violins may look the same to the customer, but they are not in this way. Quality and price vary widely, and it's difficult to compare some of the better student violins and distinguish them from "VSO" (violin shaped objects) musical landmines.

How much does a violin for beginners cost? 

The violin is one of the most popular string instruments because it is common in all musical genres, often gets the melody, and is the smallest/cheapest. The two biggest barriers we hear from players are cost and technical difficulty.  

A good student violin doesn’t have to be expensive! As with anything, you get what you pay for, and this is especially true when it comes to handmade string instruments. That said, a good beginner's violin is nothing more than distracting "junk" that looks too good to be true. Rather than buying a $150 or $200 violin that will stunt your musical growth and likely break, rent something you actually want to keep, something that encourages good technique rather than fights it. Most of the payment goes toward the purchase, so it's like saving up for a violin while you're using it. A good beginner's violin only costs $400-$500, so it's relatively affordable (compared to everyone's dream Stradivarius!) and you'd spend almost 1/2 of the money on an inferior violin. Most people say they don't want to spend too much money because they're not sure if the players will stick with it, but if they do, then you still have to spend $500, and then you only have $200 to spend. violin. No one is going to pay more than $50 for it because they can get it brand new for not much more. Likewise, if they don't insist, you won't be able to sell it and will be hit with expensive reminders. By investing in a good beginner violin, you give yourself the best chance of learning, and a good violin will actually retain its value or appreciate in value on the aftermarket.  

What should beginners pay attention to when playing violin?

Learning to play the violin requires a good beginner's violin - it's that simple. Imagine trying to ride a bike with pedals that are out of alignment, handlebars that are tilted, or wheels that are wobbly. You will never develop the balance and coordination needed to feel comfortable. Imagine if the sentence actually read "It's like playing the violin!" instead of riding a bike! :) A good student violin will be easy to use, forgiving, and provide a pleasant, rewarding sound. A good violin has trouble squeaking on the E string, a common complaint among parents of young violinists! The pegs will maintain their position and tuning will be easy. The fingers feel comfortable when pressed, and the bow naturally hits all the correct strings at once. These may sound like simple requirements, but a cheap violin will have maple pegs painted black that won't turn; the strings will be too high or have so much tension that you can't reach the fretboard and your hands will hurt; The bridge/string cut is so poor that it's impossible to avoid hitting two strings, the strings cross unnaturally, and the feet can slide around or cause the bridge to collapse. You won't get a good sound with cheap "cheese knife" steel strings. We regret that we are able to offer such a "violin" because countless violinists never even get the chance to explore their musicality or quit because it is so frustrating or embarrassing.  

"Good enough" is more than just a list: "Solid carved maple, spruce, ebony, inlaid binding." A good beginner violin must be an instrument that will help you improve both technically and musically. Our Crescendo is an amazing violin for any beginner, with a professional-level setup, quality strings, and a trade-in program that lets you upgrade if you wish!
