Bought this for my son for his 5th birthday. He loves it. It’s been going on 2 months and so far it’s held up to the 2 yr old, 5 yr old, and 12 yr old. And they have really beat on this thing.

I am very satisfied with what I received. The amplifier works great with no hum. The guitar strings needed to be tuned, but I expected that. The build of the guitar itself is very impressive considering the price of the package. I went over every part of the guitar and found no signs of poor workmanship. The finish looks really good, the frets have no sharp spots, and the neck was straight right out of the box. Everything seemed to be put together very well. No loose parts. Initially I thought the tuner keys might be slipping due to the guitar going out of tune fairly quickly, but after a few days of playing it, that stopped being a problem. Probably, the strings had to settle in. I am very satisfied with this purchase, especially for the price. I would definitely recommend this for a beginner.

Great kalimba! Well engineered and built, no complains. Perfectly tuned right from the box - checked by tuner, no adjustments needed. Sounds like a magic. Also, this kit has everything you need.

To be honest, I wasn’t too confident when I first purchased this item. I didn’t think it was going to be well made and It was gonna feel cheap. Now, I’m no guitar expert and this is my first electric guitar but once I got it I was shocked on how nice it feels and how well made it was. And very easy to set up. I just tuned it plugged it in and started playing. Once again I have no idea how this compares to a more expensive guitar but I do have to say it exceeded my expectations. The amp seems pretty good too and it’s loud enough for me and sounds decent. Also the bag it comes with is surprisingly decently made and not made out of a really cheep material but it’s definitely not something to keep the guitar in for protection.

I purchased this violin for my 5 year old daughter, because I wanted to sign her up for private instruction to get her out of her comfort zone (im a pianist myself). Before that I did quite a bit of research online, and decided to invest in this one. I was enticed by the pricing and the equipment it comes with. But before purchasing I went down to my childhood music store, where I first learnt piano, and asked my former teacher and owner of the shop what size I should get her. She advices to go for a 1/4 size. I looked at the cheapest violin she had and it was $200. So being my frugal self, I opted for the melodic. It arrived while I was at work so my husband was the lucky one of opening the packaging. He had an issue with the violin not playing and it wasnt producing sound (so I googled/youtubed) and the issue was that we needed to add some Rosin to the bow. Because this rosin is hard (like candy) you need to scratch the surface with a coin until you get this white powder. This white powder is what helps play the sound on the violin. Just run the rosin on the bow a few times enough to cover the bow with some white powder and you should be able to play. Other issues : #1 if your violin isnt producing sound, it needs rosin #2 it your violin sounds scratchy its because it doesnt have enough rosin #3 the pegs move because you need to twist and push in slightly while your tuning so it wont go out of tune #4 if you keep pulling the strings to much or too fast you will snap a string #5 one youve reached the note (ie E) on the tuner but it sounds flat use the little dials on the bottom to turn clockwise or counter clockwise and adjust as needed. Avoid touching the pegs or removing the strings at all costs Melodic is a good brand to start with as a student, especially for a child whose just starting out and will outgrow it within a couple years. Dont listen to the reviews, a lot of ignorance going around that could have been easily solved with common sense and Google. Dont let them detur you from purchasing it. The violin is beautiful, and I cant wait to see my daughter play me a piece in the near future.

It is seriously good value. when i was a kid I had a beginner model that sold for $1100 . Now u can get this and its basically as good. You can tell its not the finest of craftsmanship but you have to look close. It produces a pleasant tone i'd call bright, the stock action is fine by me.

This is an excellent beginner (and even intermediate) guitar, but I would recommend setting it up with the help of someone musically inclined.

Never played a guitar before and wanted to try learning. I got this since it was cheap and included everything. It has worked perfectly. Came with everything I need and sounds good. I am using it with my PS4 with Rocksmith and it works percent with that I love the tuning via the PS4 and have really enjoyed learning that way. The guitar seems like good quality and sounds good through the PS4 and the included amp. The guitar looks nice and sounds great. I have really enjoyed using it with Rocksmith and it has been a fun way to learn.
