Be sure to know exactly what size will work for your student (or yourself, if you’re the beginner). Don’t forget to account for age, body size, hand shape, and physical strength. If in doubt, going with a smaller size is better than playing on a violin that is too big.

Hi sapna, You need to check the tonal quality of the violin, if there is any manufacturer defects. It is better you go to a music store and purchase. You can take a guidance of your violin teacher as well to select a good violin.

Hi, I want to learn to play the violin, and I am not sure which violin to go for as a beginner. I don't have any local shop nearby, so I probably would have to order online. Can someone help with which violin I should buy?
You should always go to the store and check out yourself by playing on different acoustic instruments. Even if they look the same, the sound won't! Play by yourself and pick the one you like.

Will the wood used to make Violin influence the output of sound coming from Violin?
Absolutely! There lies the difference in sounds for a Stradivari and a locally made one! And even worse are factory-made violins!
