  I Think It's Great! August 30, 2007 15 out of 17 found this review helpful
My CVN-200 arrived in a reasonable time. I took it home to check it out and was simply amazed by the high quality of finish, workmanship, and overall construction. I don't play the violin; with this I will try to learn.
It came with 2 bows, an extra set of strings, rosin, a tuning device, some sort of pad that I don't understand yet, and all in a really attractive case. For this price, that is astounding!
I would have given it five stars, except I have no idea as to how good it is at playing and being played. But, at this price, even if I never play it, it will be an attractive monument to impulse buying, in a place of honor in my parlor.

I had some knowledge of musical instruments, as I used to play a mandolin & guitar earlier. I wanted to learn violin and bought this violin after reading the reviews. This is a good student violin. If you are a beginner, you should know few things like, how to fix the bridge? how to tune the strings? how to apply rosin to the bow etc. The extra strings saved me when I broke the A string while tuning it. Pegs drops are a must to have, otherwise we cant go ahead of tuning. The fit and finish is good, I can term it a 'student violin' only because its less expensive. I have been using it for a week, and its really fun to play.
  Cecilio CVN-200 Violin is great for the money March 4, 2007 27 out of 27 found this review helpful
I recently purchased this violin and love it! Both my local music store, and my new teacher looked it over and thought I got a great deal. Being a beginner, I really have no idea if it truly sounds good or not. But, my teacher (who has been playing violin half his life) said it really does have nice sound! So, I would recommend it as a good beginner's violin.

The violin I ordered arrived in a prompt manner as promised. I bought the violin as a gift, and the recipient was delighted. It was nicely finished and arrived without damage.
  For the price, it's great! December 16, 2006 46 out of 49 found this review helpful
I bought this violin and a CVN-100 1/10 size for my four year old son. He loves the CVN-100, and I love the CVN-200. Please remember that most instruments need a "breaking in" period. Get some peg drops and that will help with the tuning pegs.
The thing that I like about this violin is it's tone. A nice beautiful sound. I'm sure that upgrading the strings would also boost it's tone, but for right now, I'm happy. The thing that is nice about this violin, aside from the great price, and tone, is the fact that I don't have to worry about my four year old son breaking a $500+ violin. Because I've been able to be so relaxed, my son has taken full responsibility for his violin. He treats it carefully, wipes it down, and really takes pride in what he has learned in his lessons. It's been a wonderful, low stress way of introducing music, and instilling self-confidence in my little boy. Thanks Cecilio.
Know that if you get this violin, you need to learn how to install the bridge, you may want to order some peg drops, and you need to let it "break in". You'll love it, I do.
