I saw that Target is carrying violins, clarinets, trumpets, etc. now! Wonder how their prices compare...

My dd was just asking tonight if she could start taking lessons and I told her no because we can't afford the out of pocket on a new violin right now.

 

I guess she is going to be a happy camper!

 

Thanks Becca!

so glad to hear it! I loved learning the violin when I was little :)

According to the description these are full sized. I didn't click to see if other sizes are available. You may want to have your daughter evaluated to see which size would fit her best. Also, check into renting them if she's serious. We rent one for our youngest and will until she is ready for a full sized.

Has anyone bought these violins for an adult? I would like to know if they are any good before I spend on them?

 

Thanks.
