Question 1

We have ours tuned correctly & the bow tightened, but it just doesn't seem to sound very loud when our daughter draws the bow across the strings. ?

Accepted Answer

Did you make sure to rosin the bow?  You have to break the rosin up first with a key or knife,  just until it cracks/ chips.  Then run the bow over the rosin for a good long time.  The rosin should be applied heavily enough so that it leaves a residue on the strings.  After she is finished playing,  take a cloth and run it over the strings to remove residue before putting away.  Hope this helps!

Question 2

Is this good for a 7-8yr old

Accepted Answer

We added a Size Selection Reference on the description, you could check the arm length of your child first and naturally, 4/4 will be suitable for child at age 11 and above, but it depends more on the arm length.
The length of the arm is a vital factor for choosing a violin. There are many size of violin for children, such as 3/4, 1/4, 1/2、1/8、1/10 and 1/16, and this model is 4/4.

The size of violin can make a huge influence to the playing posture and playing method of children.

How to select a violin in a suitable size for children?

Clamp the violin to your chin and extend your left arm to touch the scroll of violin. If your left hand can cup the scroll, it means the violin is suitable for you. If your fingers on the left hand can only touch the scroll, it means the violin is a bit large for you. If your left wrist can touch the scroll, it means the violin is a bit small for you.

Question 3

Is this violin one that a middle school student could use for orchestra? She’s never played

Accepted Answer

I bought this for my daughter and she is in 7th, first year violin student. So yes I think that she could since she is a beginner. Although I did not know how to tune it and I asked her instructor if she could assist. She did but had to take it to a instrument  store to have some addition added  or something fixed. It was only $25.00 though. All in all good for practice.

Question 4

Accepted Answer
