Posting for traffic! Please help, has anyone for experience of buying a violin to start learning. This is for an adult, not wanting to spend too much but there are so many out there. Can anyone help?

It really depends on what you mean by not wanting to spend too much. It is much harder for a beginner to learn on a cheap violin. What's your budget? And is renting an option?

Renting is a good first option. You need to work out what suits you

Stentor student is the standard learner choice, the student 2 is the better version iirc.

I would look for second hand ones.

YouTube videos for tuning and changing the strings are a must as well!
