Hi

Someone told me before: Suzuki violin considered the last choice for a factory violin and not recommended at all.

Question here :-\

1- is this true?

2- if yes, does that mean it is terrible violin i shouldn't think of? Or no, not that bad.. it will work

And thank you so much

They are not known for being good.

I think you can get a better instrument for the same amount of money.

A lot depends on context here.   Please tell us more about your circumstances.  I will note that there is such a wide selection of student violins currently being offered that one should shop around a lot, and try a number of them in person.

There are various grades. That said, mine is junk. I have tried many changes to make it at least playable as a back-up instrument for outside performances to no avail. I keep it only as a keepsake that my grandfather gave me on a visit to Tokyo. He was one of the first Suzuki teachers. I was a brass major beginning a degree in composition.

I think that one should consider something like a used Chinese Andreas Eastman, Snow, or maybe Samuel Eastman, Shen or Yamaha as a more basic starter..
