What to Expect When Purchasing a Clearance Violin
The slight cosmetic flaws that may be present in clearance products from Kennedy Violins do not affect the quality of the tone woods or resonance of the violins. You are getting the same playability and sound as the regular-priced counterpart, for less.
The images shown are examples of possible flaws that would result in an instrument being marked down as clearance. Each instrument is unique, so your clearance instrument will be different than those shown. Reasons for markdown could be: scratches or small dents, tool marks, varnish flaws, or other cosmetic differences. If you have any questions about your purchase, we will be happy to help you. We want you to be happy with your purchase, so reach out with any question or concern.
Not in love? No problem! The Kennedy Violins team will be happy to help you find the best fit for you if you find it's not love at first sight.

Bought this violin to learn - hopefully without driving everyone in the house crazy. With headphone plugged in you can hear it in the next room when the house is quiet. If someone is watching TV at normal volume in the next room, the sound level is acceptable.Several reviews criticized the headphones; they're not high end, but are acceptable. The case is much nicer than expected. The bow is decent. The violin itself isn't professional grade, but is much better than most beginner's violins I looked at. The strings weren't fabulous, but for the price, they were not bad.I ordered this violin from Kennedy largely because the reviews said the supplier was good about having it arrive with strings in place and the bridge installed at the proper angle. They did not disappoint.This is an excellent buy for a beginner.When you order also order peg drops, an inexpensive digital tuner, and some medium grade strings.

I was expecting a good product because of all the positive reviews, but this electric violin outfit by far exceeded my expectations. First of all I was excited to find in the packing box, a sturdy violin case with a beautiful interior and ample room for accessories, including a large zippered outside compartment for music. (I own several cases and none have this much room for stuff). The best part of this outfit is that with only a little tuning, it really did come ready to play out of the case, as promised—unlike other low-priced electric violin outfits that reviewers complained about. The folks at Kennedy tune the instrument before it is sent out, which meant that I was able to retune 3 of the strings with the fine tuners alone without having to turn the pegs. (It comes with fine tuners on all 4 strings). It came with a horse hair bow, rosin, carrying straps for back packing and ,surprisingly, a mini-amplifier, as well—small enough to fit into my suitcase when I fly. I prefer an accoustic fiddle to play Old-time music, but this electric violin meets my need to practice quietly— I live in a mobile home park with too near neighbors. The soft sound of the strings unamplified can't be heard outside, but with the earphones on I can hear it as loud as I like. The almost best part of my experience with Kennedy Violins is the customer service. I didn't think the amplifier worked. I called them and quickly got a real person. The fellow who answered said he'd send me a new amplifier right away and a free postage sticker to send the original one back. In the meantime, I checked the 12V battery in the amplifier again and discovered it was shrink wrapped for transport. Nothing wrong with the amplifier. I quickly called to tell them and got a woman this time and told her what happened and not to send a new one. A few minutes later, the original guy called to make sure it was working, and followed this with an email. AND they are sending me a gift of pedals for the amplifier!

My son has been playing violin for years and he recently received this as a Christmas gift. The violin itself is great! We have had no problems at all. His instructor (a professional musician) is also impressed with the quality of the instrument considering the low cost. The amp leaves a little to be desired. I think he will save up and purchase a high quality one.At one point the violin stopped playing through the amp. The amp worked with other things so we called Kennedy Violins and got a return call within an hour. Zach walked me through several troubleshooting techniques and was patient and kind. The whole time he was reassuring that if nothing worked, they would be happy to send a replacement. Turns out the issue was user error- violin battery was drained (duh!) and no replacement was necessary. The fact that they are 3000 miles from us but still willing to do whatever it takes to right the situation will keep us as loyal customers! I've read the bad reviews and none of those apply to us. We've had only a positive experience with the instrument and the customer service.
