I bought this used Yamaha violin, but it looked like it was brand new. They polished it up real nice. And it came with a really nice hard Yamaha case. Very impressed.

This is a fantastic choice for aspiring violinists. The AV3 comes with everything you need to get started and is very good quality for a beginner instrument. It has an ebony fingerboard, chin rest and tuning pegs that keep the tune very well. It has a warm smooth sound and is sure to last with proper care. I'd definitely recommend this outfit for any beginner violin students.

If you are looking for a quality entry level violin then AV3 is a great choice. Spruce top and Maple back and sides lend itself to a nice bright tone. Comes in 1/2, 3/4, and full size this will work for any musician that is starting out. Comes with case and bow.

This is a great starting instrument for a young player. Comes in varying sizes with everything needed to get started. Case is well made and shaped for the instrument and violin itself has a strudy feel. With the pre-installed Prelude strings on the instrument, which are one the of the most popular sets of student strings out on the market, this instrument is a nicer option for a starting violinist.

This beautiful AV-3 violin from Yamaha is one of the most consistent violin models available. The quality of wood used is surprising for it's price point leading the instrument to very easily stay intonated. The ebony fingerboard, tailpiece, and tuning pegs are a welcomed necessity to extend the life of the instrument. The ebony is so durable, the odds of having issues with the fingerboard over time are slim to none. The outfit also includes a very nice molded plastic case for protection as well as a brazilwood bow which is light and comfortable in the hand.
