My 11-year-old daughter has been playing the violin for 5 years now. She says she wants to continue through high school, so I am considering purchasing a used violin for her. I don't want to spend more than $400. I also don't want to get her anything that is one level better than what I'd get from Toys R Us. She is not a "serious" player, but does enjoy it. What do you suggest? Thanks!

Hello. I would suggest checking out stringworks.com or to do a search to find a beginner violin. I would try to stay away from buying a violin from eBay. Another thing to consider is you may want to get a good violin for her instead of "toys R us" quality lol, because if she has a good violin and she sounds good, then she'll want to continue playing. Hope I helped!

I would ask the music teacher what he would recommend at her level as I think he/she would know what is best suited to her level oof playing.

Hello, a standard 11 year old should have a violin that is around 3/4 size, I have one on my site for sale which was used by me when I was younger, It is German made and it comes with a free navy blue case and European made bow(might need rehairing).

Be very very very careful if you are thinking about buying an instrument of off a place like ebay or amazon. You have no idea what you might be getting. I have heard many horror stories from people who bought instruments from the internet.

Locally is always best as you can check out the instrument and if she has been playing for that lentgh of time she will know by the sound of the instrument. The kids today learn quickly and retain well, their hearing and eyes are sharp. Don't know where you are located, however i am in Las Vegas, NV and I have a couple of student violins that are of good quality and are recommended by most schools. bmyrc17@cox.net
