Fiddlershop Reviews

I really wanted to like this violin, but the sound was just so thin and scratchy right out of the box. I thought maybe it was the strings, so I swapped them out, but nope, same problem. Then I had a friend play it just to make sure it wasn’t me, and it still sounded rough. Maybe I just got a bad one, who knows, but for what it costs, I expected way better tone. Kind of frustrating.

I ordered one thing and somehow got something else in the box. The receipt was correct, so I don’t know how that even happened. Now I’ve got to send pictures and wait for them to sort it all out. Just kind of annoying, because you expect this kind of thing to be checked before it ships.

I had mixed feelings about these strings. They weren’t terrible, but they felt stiff to play, and I noticed the notes buzzed a lot more than I expected. Maybe they’ll work better for someone else, but they didn’t really feel right for me.

Some of the Fiddlershop lesson videos are actually useful, especially for the basics and quick tips. A few of them are hard to describe, but they just feel a bit rushed or like they don’t explain things all the way, so I ended up looking elsewhere too. Overall, not bad, but I do think they could be clearer and a little more organized

I really wanted to like it, but the build quality just wasn't there. The seams were messy, the finish had little bumps, and overall it felt kind of cheap. It seemed like someone may have been in a hurry or skipped a few quality checks before sending it out.

I thought the selection was decent overall, and there were a few options I genuinely liked. That said, I wish they had more budget-friendly choices available. It felt like there was enough variety, but not much for someone trying to stick to a lower price range.

I’ll admit I’m picky when it comes to how expensive items are packaged, but this arrived in rough shape. The box was crushed on one side, the tape was halfway peeling off, and the violin case had scuffs on it. I could also hear loose pieces moving around inside, which didn’t make me feel great. Maybe it happened during shipping, but either way, it showed up looking like it hadn’t been handled carefully at all. For something that wasn’t cheap, I was really disappointed. Not the best first experience.

I bought this from Fiddlershop the tuning just would not hold. I was stopping every few minutes to adjust it, even after stretching the strings, which got old really fast. What made it more annoying was that the communication around what to expect or how to deal with it wasn’t very clear, so I felt like I was just guessing. It turned practice into a hassle instead of something I wanted to do.

My order showed up on time, so that was good, good. But the box was a little dented and there really wasn’t much padding inside. Luckily the instrument was fine, but I expected better protection, especially for something like this.

I felt like it was too pricey for what I ended up getting :/ I was expecting a bit more for the cost, so it left me kind of disappointed

I picked up a set of strings from Fiddlershop and they were okay, just not quite what I was hoping for. Compared to other strings I’ve used around the same price, these sounded a little dull after a few days, and one of them felt slightly uneven under my fingers. Shipping was totally fine, no complaints there. Overall, not a bad buy, but I probably expected a bit better quality.

It does the job and protects my stuff fine. No real complaints there. But the zipper feels cheap. Kind of flimsy, honestly.

I wanted to like it right away, but it was confusing as a new player. The game kind of throws a lot at you without explaining much, and I, well, I had to stop and figure things out on my own more than I expected. It might get better once you learn the basics, but the beginning could definitely be clearer

The setup process was definitely better than I expected, but it still took a lot longer than it should have. The instructions sounded kind of like typical polished company language, so I wasn’t always sure what was actually important and what was just filler. In the end, it worked, but I wish it had been more straightforward and faster.

I’m not totally sure if my message got missed or if there’s something going on behind the scenes, but I still haven’t received a reply. It’s a bit frustrating because I was expecting some kind of update by now...

I ordered a set of strings thinking they’d show up quickly, but the shipping ended up taking way longer than I was told. The tracking barely moved for days, and I was kind of left guessing with no real update. Maybe it’s fine for other people, but my gut says I wouldn’t count on fast delivery here. The strings were one thing, but the wait was frustrating

I was excited to get it and kind of rushed to play it right away, but the setup was rough. The strings were sitting way too high and it just didn’t feel right out of the box. I ended up having to take it to a shop before it was really comfortable to play

I went in expecting clear answers, but the staff seemed unsure and kept giving me confusing information. It felt a little like a bait and switch because what I thought I was getting didn’t really match the experience once I was there.

I was just trying to pick up some basic accessories, but about half of what I wanted was out of stock. It was annoying, and I ended up having to shop somewhere else.

I was disappointed with the warranty support. It felt like nobody really wanted to take ownership of the issue, and I kept getting passed around without a clear answer on who was actually responsible for helping me. I just wanted a straightforward resolution, but the whole process ended up being frustrating and unclear
