The Fiddlerman OB1 Violin Review
How does the Fiddlerman OB1 compare with the Fiddlerman Apprentice?
Description
The OB1 is possible because of the combination of great connections and strong buying power! The fact that we can offer a quality violin that will last for years with an advancing level outfit is truly AMAZING. It's not uncommon to find this level violin for $300-$600 at other violin shops, (and that is without a quality outfit). Each violin is tested and will arrive ready to play out of the box.

United Stateshttps://youtu.be/w-amVGv9fuw One month of pure joy!
United StatesI received my violin a few weeks back, and so far am happy with it.I am new to violins, so after much research I got the Fiddlerman OB1. It came pre -assembled in a travel case with some accessories. I look forward to graduating to a higher level violin in the future, and will probably purchase it from here. The only problem is that the pages come lose when you tune it; but I just push them back in tight.
Israela violin for a beginner, is not about the deep and rich sound ,but about the quality of the bow, and the great and perfect setup. that every thing works great and you have a nice case rosin and to play. and thats exactly what you get!! a very low price for a very good product!
United StatesThis was my first violin and I'm really happy with the OB1. It sounds great and feels like good quality. I'm really surprised with how much this violin resonates and projects. The violin finish looks rushed and is rough in places but I guess that's how they keep the cost down. The accessories are great - especially the case, which is great quality. I had to buy another mute as the included one cuts the sound a bit but was still too loud for late-night practice.
United StatesI find as I am progressing on my learning that everything I would need was well thought and placed in the package. The only thing I purchased was a tape/chart that I could stick to the finger board. The overall quality of the product is awesome. Happy with the purchase.
