I ordered this violin (Havana MV1412F) last year (5/10/2018) and it was delivered to me on 29/10/2018. So after five months of usage, I feel I can review it better.First let me state the pros of the :1. Low cost: The violin is obviously cheap, I got it for about 4,4172. Loud: I found the violin has loud and sweet sound, the bass is not superb, but it's okay. 3. Not VSO: Thankfully it is not a Violin Shaped Object. Cons:1. Bow: The bow is a let down, it's heavy and cumbersome2. Strings: The factory made strings are worst, I had to upgrade the strings to D'Addario J810 4/4M 4/4 Scale Medium Tension Prelude Violin String Set.3. Bridge: In my opinion the bridge also needs to be upgraded, though I haven't done it yet.4. Rosin: Cheap quality5. Pegs: Not user friendly, cannot hold tune fore more than two days. Pegs makes it difficult to tune the violin.Final Judgement: So do I like the violin? The answer is both yes and no. It's a good beginner violin, but ultimately you'll have to upgrade to a better one. You can try to upgrade the violin itself, like I tried (albeit with limited success).My advice is if you are interested in learning to play violin, and want to try out if you would like to continue playing violin (like me), than this product is for you, but if you are an intermediate or advanced level violinist, then, better look for some other violin.
