ARCTIC AR-PVK-01 Neo Violin Kit - Violin 4/4 with case, bow & Rosin

I purchased Arctic Neo . It's very worth and the product I received is in very good condition.Delivered on time. I faced problem with one peg and rosin got cracked after one use... The sound quality was supeb

I am a newbie and have never picked a violin before so happy with the overall product. There were a few challenges while setting it up. I recommend referring to any YouTube videos to set it up.1. Setting up the bridge was the hardest. It keeps on falling. Take your time and it should work after a couple of failures.2. Now that the bridge is set, comes the next step of tuning it. Using a Violin Tuner app helped me get the right tune. Having said that, the pegs were loose and it doesn't hold in place. You feel like you got cheated as it goes out of tune with each try. All you need to do is to push the pegs with your palm and then it works like a charm. As you adjust your tuning, the pegs become loose. So make sure to keep pushing if it doesn't hold in place. Use the fine tuner to get the desirable tuning on each string.3. The Violin is now tuned and you are excited to hear it bleed. You candidly take out your bow only to realise the horror that awaits you (if you're unlucky like me). The bow hair is not attached to the bow tip and it has come unglued. You become frantic and go online to look for a new bow. You feel scratching your eyes out while scrolling through different options and then you find yourself on YouTube looking for a DIY fix. After watching a couple of few videos, you convince yourself you are a fine craftsman yourself and then take matters into your hand. If you are lucky enough, you will find the rubber stopper that holds the hair. I looked into the packet containing the bow. With a screwdriver and determination, somehow you manage to fix the hair. You learnt a few things about your bow as well; how to tighten or losses the hair.4. You have had quite an achievement there. Fixed your bow, tuned your Violin, successfully kept the bridge in place without falling. What's next? You take out your Rosin to caress your bow hair. Little did you know that your Rosin was heartbroken. It is craked and some bits of were crushed to powder. But you are an optimist. You dust off the shards and whatever is remaining use it to fondle your bow hair.You pat yourself in your back and then let your girl sing. Oh! This one is feisty and you're amazed at how she screams.After going through all the troubles, I didn't mind getting things figured out by myself. I believe it is extremely important to know your fiddle. After all, it is going to translate your thoughts. The case it comes with is Tear-Drop shaped, the violin is neatly packed and has got backpack straps. I wouldn't be commenting on the build quality for you might have already guessed what one can expect in this price range. It has a smooth fingerboard. As always, Amazon delivery was prompt. I would recommend the seller to work on all the issues I have raised before sending it out.This fiddle will do the job if you're low on budget and just started to learn a new instrument.

This violin is actually made of ply wood. Horrible quality. The fingerboard is already bent low and with time, it will bend even lower making it impossible to reach octaves. The bow hair is made out of nylon and the rosin is completely useless. It is absolutely not recommended for beginners, as they will frustrate themselves by having a screeching sound all the time (mostly because of the bow hair by made of nylon). The soundpost is weak af, it will comeout in just 2-3 months of playing. The pegs are horrible, can't even hold tuning for half a day. Honestly,this violin isn't even worth 4000+rupees, rather I would say it's only worth 2000 to 2500 rupees.If you really want a good violin at 4000+ rupees then contact some local manufacturers, they use real wood and would satisfy your needs.

As i am new to violin and haven't even touched violin before. There is so many things i still dont know about violin. But it looks good and after setting up the bridge and everything it seems good to me. Overall a good product for beginner.

Well as I expected ,Rosen was broken , the pegs are kinda loose but hey we all can expect that at this price. Sound bleeding is there .Tight your bow as threads might be touching the bow. Overall it's a good buy at this range for a beginner. Get a shoulder rest and fret stickers too if you are a beginner . No need for tuner we have plenty of apps and believe me u will have to tune it so many times. Be Kind to the bridge else u are gonna shatter both, bridge and your heart into pieces.

Go for it, but buy different rosin and apply on bow - use dark rosin, the rosin which comes with this set is useless.

The bow is damaged and the violin itself is damaged
