Hats off to Walmart for selling this, the only decent student violin I have been able to find for under six hundred dollars.  If you can possibly afford it, spring for this one instead of the fifty dollar specials that are often stamped out of plywood.  I've played and taught for forty years and this is the only decent, affordable student violin I've found after many years of searching.  This is the first Stentor 1500 (aka 
Stentor student II') instrument I've bought but the third I have tested out, and they are remarkably consistent and consistently good.  The tone is very sweet, it is responsive enough to get a student through the first five or six years of playing and after that, it is a great backup violin for backpacking or whatever.  You can probably sell it and recoup much of your original investment.   Made in China with oversight from a London company, they boast great spruce wood top with tight grain, pegs that work, a well fitted bridge (which is AMAZING since bridges take one to three hours of a luthier's time to fit right).  It arrives, if you are lucky, with the bridge kept softly in place by some slight string tension.  If the bridge is down when you get it, go to Youtube and see how to set it, it is not a tough job.  The case is so good that I moved my good violin into it.  There is also a nice rosin cake instead of the usual cheap stuff in a wood box.  The bow is made of good wood and is generously haired, though I find that my inexpensive carbon fiber bow brings a better sound out of the instrument and that the wood bow could be better balanced.   A luthier would probably complain that the varnish is not traditional but would likely be happy with the tailpiece with fine adjusters, the fit and finish of the pegs, the nut, bridge and overall setup which look to me to be up to standards.  The metal strings on the violin are fine; I tried replacing them with 'better' metal wound nylon ('perlon') strings and it diminished the nicer qualities of the violin's sound, though it did quiet the violin down quite a bit which was desirable for me (I cannot play a loud violin, hurts my ears.).  So I would leave the strings alone as they seem to have been carefully matched to the violin.   The upgrades I would recommend would be a good cheap carbon fiber bow (such as Vingo bow) and an adjustable shoulder rest (the cheap Chinese ones are usually fine.)  I will use this one that i purchased to play simpler folk music in risky situations, eg., this weekend on a boat on the ocean.  For more advanced material that takes you into higher positions -- Mazas, Kreutzer etc. you will want to think about a better instrument.  This instrument sounds great in higher positions but up there it sometimes takes work to produce clear notes in fast, high passages.   But I can think of no better way to get started than with this instrument and if a student advances beyond it, it is still a nice fiddle to keep in the back of your car, just in case.  Yeah Walmart!

PLEASE start with this violin!

My teacher loves my violin. Good violin for beginners..I would just change the strings tho.
