Hello.
My name is aKari. I am really interested in playing the violin. But to learn to play violin, I must get a violin... and I have to buy it myself. So, if anyone would be so kind to help me, I would like to know some good beginner violins that cost anywhere from $1-$300. Thanks.
May the Force be with yuns!

THANKS!
I have one more problem.
The local music store only sells electric violins.
Should a beginner use an electric violin?
Are there any good music stores on the internet?
Maybe someone can help me!

My friend bought a cello from: gotofmi.com
He is very satisfied with it. I'm pretty sure I'm going to by a violin from them myself. Just make sure it's solid wood (it should say so).

Stentor are a pretty good brand. Their nothing special, but some of their fiddles are resonable quality.
I'm investing in a Stentor Conservatoire. It's nothing fancy, but it's got a supposedly good tone, and is of reasonable quality. This includes and fiddle, bow and case. In shop, the price is about £150 but i found it for £110 on www.musical-instrumentsuk.co.uk
Are you looking for just a violin, or and outift?
