What Should I Look for When Buying My First Violin? ?

I really want to learn to play the violin, but i don’t know anything about it and i don’t know anyone personally that plays. It is kinda hard to buy one when you don’t know what to look for. I don’t want to get ripped off, so i need some help. What is a reasonable price range for a full size violin and what should i look for in one as a first time buyer?

Could You Point Me in the Right Direction for a Good Quality Violin Under or Around 100 Dollars?

dmgirl13 asked:

When I was younger, I played the violin for a year and eventually “gave up”, because I never practice and felt bad that my mom would pay so much for something I never spent much time on. However, as I’ve gotten older, I’ve regretted this action. So now, I want to buy a violin and self-teach what I learned before, but this time I’m going to not give up.

Anyways, I am by no means planning on being professional or anything, so I want a violin that isn’t incredibly “breach the bank” expensive. Still, I don’t want a crappy violin that goes out of tune every time you play a note, and you end up wanting to throw it against the wall because it’s just downright cheaply made.
