    Thank you so much! Now I can trust my violin quality 100% and unsatisfy with my skill. Being skeptical about learning instrument's quality is not good to keep the motivation.

      I actually lost motivation a few weeks after this comment because of the difficulty of making "sound" with violin and my Chinese violin has been sitting on my wall for 4 years.... I'm still a beginner. But at least I didn't waste any money lol. I'm still practicing piano every week though.

    oh and what you got out of the MV during the playability test was downright breathtaking. goes to show how a great player can get a good sound out of (almost) anything.

    They are still really great for what they cost. The skill is in the musician and usually not the instrument!

      @proksenospapias9327 3 роки тому +7

      Yeah the skill is obviously on the musician since the musician is a person and the violin is mostly just wood. But the thing is, there's a reason good players want good equipment.

    • @BabyBugBug
      @BabyBugBug 2 роки тому +1

      They are fine for a student, but to me they sound muted, with a lack of sound quality seen in $3000+ violins. Of course price is not indicative of a good violin, but mass produced ones cannot compare with handmade ones that you will undoubtedly spend much more on.

    What a great review! Seems we got much more than that.
    I might just get a Mendini to get a feel for a violin, see if I want to try to learn it a bit or a lot. Hear the sound in my own house.
    No risk of breaking someone else's precious instrument.

    Your playing was phenomenal!
    I liked the wood grain, varnish and appearance of the "Bailando" best of the 3 instruments.
    Aren't they all likely to have been made at the same chinese factory?
    For the price they all represent tremendous value for money, I don't know how they do it!
    Best wishes.

    Would you recommend changing the strings and getting a better bow? Asking for a friend interested in learning and buying an affordable violin. I myself am interested in the cello, and I saw a UA-camr review for a cello on Amazon and that’s what they recommended for that instrument. Thank you for the help!

    • @BabyBugBug
      @BabyBugBug 2 роки тому +1

      Absolutely invest in a better now. Hands down the best choice you can make. The one they include in student violin outfits like this is cheap, heavy, and lacks stiffness that you need to play well.

    Great review! Even cheap violin sounds great in hands of skilled violinist. I have even cheaper violin, Glarry GV101 which is a plywood violin and it's awesome. Actually far better than a much more expensive "real violin" bought from a professional violin shop years ago and which I played with for many years. So cheap does not necessarily mean bad with violins as long as you are comfortable with the violin and enjoy the music it produces.

    Wow.. honestly I bought me used mendini on OfferUp from a highschool student. The reason I did it is because back home my indigenous people play the violin and 2 other guitars so I got me a "cheap" one to start... I did played but people in my family were telling me I was really good. Eventually I stopped because I never had the time to go to classes or so

  • @davidbostock6933
    @davidbostock6933 2 роки тому

    I liked the video but haven't watched it, maybe later. My Cheap Beginner strategy is to get an electric and upgrade the tailpiece, the bridge, and the strings, and bow for NOT a great deal more and buy some peg dope and probably Book & DVD Picture Yourself Playing Violin
    by Bridgette Seidel to go along with all the videos I've watched and will be watching. Best preparation is probably phone apps for; sight reading, ear training, rhythm training, and detail knowledge if music theory. Traditional violins have issues that are murder to an unkowing student. Electric gets rid of sound post & much of humidity issue. You'll still be tuning tuning tuning & that ear training will help keep you on top of that in addition to locating your fingers.
