Description

The Bellafina Prelude series violin outfit features an instrument you can be proud of, a bow to make sweet music with and a case to protect it between the moments you're playing. The violin itself features a solid spruce top, solid maple back and sides, and a solid maple neck with a beautiful oiled finish. The fingerboard and fittings are ebonized hard wood. There is a composite tailpiece with four fine-tuners, and a Stradivarius-style chin rest. The aged maple bridge gives it a beautiful extra touch.

The Bellafina Prelude series violin has a traditional red finish and ships with D'Addario Prelude strings. The bow is a Brazilwood round bow with a rosewood frog, half-lined with silver wire grip. The case is a deluxe shaped foam case. Choose sizes: 1/4 - 4/4.

Great violin!

Daughter was begging for a violin for Christmas. Bought this one online and have been amazed how quickly she has taught herself to play. Pleasantly surprised by the quality of sound she is getting having never had lessons. Love the case it came in that makes it safe to take places without fear of getting damaged.

Not a quality product out of the box.

The tuning pegs this violin comes with do not work. They are slippery plastic. Haven't been able to get a single high string to hold tuning. Haven't been able to keep a single string from snapping. The tuning pegs the violin shop recommended to fix this will cost $80. I should note that GC did a good job each step of the way. They replaced it twice for me with my pro coverage before I could figure out what ruined this violin. TL;DR -- Don't buy this unless you want to pay twice the price for it to even be possible to tune.

    I bought this violin a few weeks ago because I was trying to get back into a routine where I could consistently practice. When I got the violin, the first thing I noticed is the quality of the bow is not as great as even other entry-level violins. The other thing I noticed is that the tuning for the strings does not maintain for a long period of time even outside the case. Not saying it's a bad violin so if you need to just get something on the cheap side but I did have to return it.

  • Absolutely would NOT buy again.

    My product is currently being sent back as I just got it today and I got it out of the box and the one tuner turned but didn't stay and when I tried to turn it the string popped out of the bottom. I have seen better toys.

    I got this for my daughter as a starter. This violin requires constant tuning and is disappointing. It also took us much longer than anticipated to actually get this. I don't recommend it.

    will the violin come fully assembled? meaning, the bridge, the pegs, the fine tuners, etc. will already be on the violin

    They do stay in tune, but will require tuning from time to time.

    Is the quality of this instrument good? I was asking because I'm a person they if you're going to buy something, but something that's worth it. So I was wondering if the material that the violin is made out of, good or "perfect". I'm just starting to learn violin so I was going to but this one. Is the violin made out of wood or plastic? (I hope it's not a dumb question). I hope you understand, I'm kind of picky with this stuff. Thank you

    Howcome the bow is so plasticy you cant even play any notes at all

    Open Reply - Charles
    Are you using Rosin? It is important to use rosin to create friction between the bow and the violin string(s).
