I won a free Q033 4/4 Violin Beginner Outfit for one of my students and the whole experience was unbelievably magical.
Their customer service team was very friendly and available for all of my needs and questions. They kept in touch, back and forth, with me via email.
They shipped the violin quickly and it arrived in perfect condition.
It's GORGEOUS—truly made with love and skill! I think I said the word "beautiful" at least 1000 times the day I opened it up for the first time!
The bridge and strings are already expertly placed so that you don't need to worry about doing it yourself or taking it to a luthier.
The pegs and fine tuners work smoothly and are a perfect fit. Like with all violins, remember to allow your strings some time to stretch. It will hold it's tune perfectly after a couple of tunings.
My favorite thing about this violin is that it produces a booming sound!! Most beginner instruments sound cheap, but this instrument sounds professional. Each string produces clear, beautiful pitches!
Also, the case is nicer than any case I've ever owned as a professional musician and the fact that it latches as well as locks is extra impressive!
It comes with everything you need as a beginner: a high quality mute, a tuner, a case strap, extra strings, rosin, a cleaning towel, and a high quality/adjustable shoulder rest!
Plus, the bow isn't just an after-thought, like it is with so many other beginner outfits. It is as beautiful as the violin with pearl details on the frog, real horse hair, and a perfectly crafted wooden stick and tip!
As a violin instructor, who has been teaching for 20 years, I can honestly say that this is the best beginner outfit on the market.
My unboxing video is apparently too long to post here, but you can view it on YouTube. The video is titled "I won a free violin!! 🎻🎶 (Q033 beginner violin outfit from @fiddlover unboxing)".
