What is a good beginners violin?
Im 27 and in the US Army stuck over in Iraq. When I get back I want to learn how to play the violin. I am willing to spend no more than $300
but I dont want a crap either.
Just my few cents for what it's worth:
Go and listen to a few different violins. Best to stick with a specialized string shop, they will have people there with the knowledge and training to "set you up" with the proper outfit. Try the violins yourself, put them under your chin and draw the bow across a few of the strings (Someone there can help you.) It should sound loud to you and clear, you may want to "jump" the first time you hear it, this is good, you will get used to it. If it sounds mellow and soft to listen to when you play it, it will probably not sound as pleasing to anyone else listening and as you progress you will just become frustrated not being ablt to project the sound you want. The look of the violin doesn't always mean good tone, high cost doesn't guarantee that either.
Assuming you are an averaged sized adult,
you will want a full size 4/4 (better sound quality)
Also, for the first three strings G,D,A, you will want to use a "wound synthetic core" string, avoid the steel strings here. It's all about the sound quality. Yes Dominant are very good, not cheap but I believe worth the money. For young beginners maybe not so much. However for an adult beginner you will probably enjoy the sound much better, therefore enjoy playing more.
For the last string E, dont' bother spending the money, you wont notice a differnce, the pitch is to high. Go ahead and use a steel string, like Piastro.
For a beginner, renting can be a good idea, especially if you decide not to continue. However, rentals are usually not the best quality and do not have the best sound. You will not enjoy playing a poor sounding instrument, even as a beginner. When your violin has good sound, you will enjoy playing it much more, even if it is only a one octave C scale. Good luck, I love playing my violin, hopefully you will learn to as well. Whoa, I wrote a novel, sorry.
