D Z Strad Violin Model 100 with Solid Wood with Case, Bow, and Rosin (4/4 - Full Size)

When I first took it out and tested the sound I got nothing. My heart sank. Figured I was doing something wrong, but I didn't think I could fail bad enough to not even get a single note!Looked online and found out I had to apply the resin, which I didn't notice at first until I opened the little cubby. After several minutes of applying that I was finally able to get my first notes and connect with my new instrument. Couldn't be happier with this, it sounds beautiful and I can't really ask for more.Thanks guys!

Beautifully made

I rarely write reviews, but I felt compelled to do so this time. The violin I received only had one fine tuner, unlike the four shown in the pictures and mentioned in other customers’ reviews. Tuning it was a struggle. Additionally, it is incredibly heavy at 580g, while a full-size violin should typically be under 500g. I had heard good things about this brand, but I was thoroughly disappointed. The quality seems lower than that of a violin priced under $50. I will be returning it. Don’t waste your time and money.

The brdige that this thing came with was not set correctly. @ isses:1/ Feet are not in full contact with the body - you can still see light shining through it2/ The height was not correctly adjusted. There was a ~8mm gap between the G string and the board. Correct Distance should be ~ 5 mm. Same issue for the other strings. It sounds small, but that makes a huge difference in playing. It's not play-ready. Don't buy this if you don't know how to adjust the bridge yourself

This was probably one of the most disappointing purchases because it was a Christmas gift. I’ve played cello for many years and started with a beginner cello and worked my way to better quality instruments and now my niece and going through the same process with violin. We originally bought her a starter violin and now we wanted to get her something slightly better and the reviews stated it’s good for beginners but it’s good quality for the budget. I’ve reviewed other violins and went with this one and the moment my niece opens it, the string pops off. The rosin is cheap and brittle. Also looks like it’s been used. The violin itself looks okay but has a little wear on the back of the body. Overall, I’m sure if I had spent $50-$100 more, I would have gotten a better violin. But once we get better strings, I’m hoping it will be fine.

We just received our DZ Strad 100 violin that I purchased for my daughter who is not quite a beginner and not quite an intermediate as yet. We wanted a full size as the one she had previously was now too small for her. The instrument is beautiful. The shipment arrived three days sooner than the scheduled time. I am so happy with this instrument. She tuned it and began playing immediately. Had to re-initiate her violin lessons as she stopped taking lessons over a year now. Looking for only positive things from this instrument. Will provide an update later on. Very satisfied customer here. Will provide further updates as time progresses.
