How much is a beginner's violin?

I've talked to a gentleman who teaches violin lessons, and I'm trying to find a beginner's violin. I'm a soon-to-be college student, however, so money is obviously tight. Any good recommendations?How much is a beginner's violin?
You can get one for $300 to $500, if you're just starting. Any cheaper and you should be suspicious. You should get a fairly decent one so that you don't start off on the wrong foot...err, hand. :)





I would sell you my used violins, but I just realized that they're not full-size (4/4) and you probably need a 4/4.How much is a beginner's violin?
It depends on the quality of the Violin. If you are a collage studentand money in tight then i suggest 600- 1000. If it is any less, it will be very bad quality. Also consider the cost of the bow, if it is not included with the violin. You'll also need a music stand and some beginner books.
I purchased my student violin at southwest strings about 11 years ago. For a student instrument they have really good prices and are a good quality instruments. But if you want something that feels good to you go to a music store. I when I first started I didnt mind what kind of violin I had as long as it played and it was cheap. But everyone is defferent. Good Luck with your search. And it is never too late to start as long as you practice and you are determined.

Most beginners start off with a violin outfit worth about $300. That includes violin, bow, case and rosin...everything to get started.


It is not worth spending any more than that because it does not matter what you buy, you will sound like rubbish for the first six months anyway...everybody does.LOL





Make sure you buy it from a proper violin shop so that it is set up correctly. Do NOT buy it from a general music shop that sells guitars and amplifiers. They know nothing about violins. Violins must be set up correctly so that they are easy to play. A badly set up violin is a nightmare to tune and to play.





After you have been playing for about 12 years then you could look at getting something better but it is always good to have a spare (and cheap) violin on hand.Your original $300 violin will not go to waste.





PS buy yourself a chromatic tuner too. They cost about $20 and will make tuning your violin so much easier.





I have heard professionals play on very cheap violins and make them sound great. It is the player that makes the sound just as much as the violin. Do not think if you own a $20,000 violin that you will sound good without being a good violinist..
I would recomend you to go to sharmusic.com and look at their beginner's violins, I'm pretty sure you will need a full size violin (4/4). Beginner violins may go from anywhere to $100 to $500...it just depends on how serious you are about it. But of your just starting I wouldn't spend too much money on it...but anyway...good luck!...hope I helped :D
you might consider renting one for a while, before you decide if you would like to continue with the instrument .... that way you might find something a little better than one you would purchase... perhaps it would be with the option to buy it, in which case the cost of rental would be applied to the purchase price

Somewhere between free and $1000. A reasonable instrument can be had for about $300. Find a music store, don't get an instrument on line or in a big box store. You need to have an opportunity play the instrument to determine its suitability. Although there is plenty of mass production of student instruments, individual instruments can vary greatly in tone and response. This is all wood and glue you know.
