Quality instrument for the price

For the price this is a great student violin. The package comes well equipped with a case bow shoulder rest rosin extra strings and an extra bridge.

This violin will get a kid playing.

I have a six year old daughter so getting her to practice is very hard. She loves this violin so shell practice without arguing.

Love it

I purchased this violin for my 5 year old daughter because I wanted to sign her up for private instruction to get her out of her comfort zone im a pianist myself. Before that I did quite a bit of research online and decided to invest in this one. I was enticed by the pricing and the equipment it comes with. But before purchasing I went down to my childhood music store where I first learnt piano and asked my former teacher and owner of the shop what size I should get her. She advices to go for a 14 size. I looked at the cheapest violin she had and it was 200. So being my frugal self I opted for the melodic.It arrived while I was at work so my husband was the lucky one of opening the packaging. He had an issue with the violin not playing and it wasnt producing sound so I googledyoutubed and the issue was that we needed to add some Rosin to the bow. Because this rosin is hard like candy you need to scratch the surface with a coin until you get this white powder. This white powder is what helps play the sound on the violin. Just run the rosin on the bow a few times enough to cover the bow with some white powder and you should be able to play.Other issues 1 if your violin isnt producing sound it needs rosin 2 it your violin sounds scratchy its because it doesnt have enough rosin 3 the pegs move because you need to twist and push in slightly while your tuning so it wont go out of tune 4 if you keep pulling the strings to much or too fast you will snap a string 5 one youve reached the note ie E on the tuner but it sounds flat use the little dials on the bottom to turn clockwise or counter clockwise and adjust as needed. Avoid touching the pegs or removing the strings at all costs Melodic is a good brand to start with as a student especially for a child whose just starting out and will outgrow it within a couple years. Dont listen to the reviews a lot of ignorance going around that could have been easily solved with common sense and Google. Dont let them detur you from purchasing it. The violin is beautiful and I cant wait to see my daughter play me a piece in the near future.

Outstanding

It is seriously good value. when i was a kid I had a beginner model that sold for 1100 . Now u can get this and its basically as good. You can tell its not the finest of craftsmanship but you have to look close. It produces a pleasant tone id call bright the stock action is fine by me.

Love it

Absolutely love the look of this little piano The sound is pretty good.Overall so far I love it.

Decent Quality. Great Price. Works Well.

One of my best purchase ever. As an adult I enjoyed playing on it as an alternative sound to the regular piano. Sometimes it sounds cute. Sometimes it sounds creepy. Great instrument overall. DISCLAIMER I am not a professional musician. That being said the keys do NOT sound out of tune.

A little girls must have piano

I cannot say enough about this piano The color is bright and beautiful The finish is shiny and looks like a mirror. The sound is not as good as a regular piano but great for a child piano. I can play a song and the listener will know the song. Construction is heavy. The hardware even impressed my husband Wow My grand daughter will be able to hand this down to her children I absolutely was pleasantly shocked at how wonderful this piano is Shipping was fast and packed with great care Love it

Its perfect

If you are sitting on the fence trying to decide which kids piano is the best you wont go wrong with this little wonder. It is really nicely made and will likely stand up to generations of little musicians belting out tunes. It does not have strings and sounds more bell-like than piano like. That said it is in tune and one can play songs on it. We just got it and set it up beside our Baby Grand piano. We cant wait for our grandson to arrive and play it. The MELODIC is just right in every category for an 18month to five year old child. Its well worth the money and impressively made.

Adorable Purchase

Has a fun little tinker toy sound. My 4 year old loved it and plays on it quite a bit.

This. Is. Beautiful.

I cannot even say how much I love this little piano. I had seen these a few years ago but my kids were already grown. I had a baby early this year and thought this would make the perfect gift for her since her daddy and I are both musically inclined and love music. I think the best way to get a child interested in music and explore their talents is to get them started at a young age. I looked at quite a few different brands and types of pianos and really just liked this particular look and style. I wanted something that worked without electric and something that look authentic. Sooooooo I ordered this for my 8 month old daughter to be a Christmas gift. The day this came in last week my husband and I couldnt even wait to open it. We tore the box open put this together without a few minutes and my daughter went to town on this adorable piano. The piano and bench is made of real wood and the top opens just like a real piano. I have noticed that when the top is open the sound is a lot louder. The piano is a bell sound but its so freaking cute We have posted so many pictures and videos on Facebook of our daughter playing this piano and so many people have complemented how awesome it is. This is definitely one of my favorite buys for her so far.
