I ordered my instrument and books and they arrived safe and sound a few days later. My Viola is beautiful and she sounds great. I am very pleased with the care and ease of my order. Thank you Kennedy Violins, your service and products are excellent.

Just traded up to a full size violin for my daughter. She started with 1/4 size a few years ago so this is the fourth violin that we bought from Kennedy Violin. Every single time the transaction has been very smooth, with great support from real musicians. I was a little skeptical with the Clearance Sale this time, not sure how bad the cosmetic imperfection could be. After receiving I checked it very carefully, I could not find any defects, and the sound was beautiful. I think this shows their perfectionism.

Just got the new violin -- it was well set up, and even the tuning only needed minor adjustments. It sounds great, too! My son was very excited to try it out. Highly recommend!

Fast & easy. Violin looks and feels amazing. Pegs snug, bridge looks great. No loose parts. Impressed that strings came already tuned a bit sharp, allowing for expected stretching in the beginning. I am loading rosin on the bow now [possible to add upgrade of preloaded rosin in the future?]. Shoulder rest is easy to place and comfortable to use. Only negative comments:1)the rosin container is a small rectangular shape not allowing rotation of bow/rosin and will cause groove that will cut hairs[I will purchase round cake later]; 2) no instructions on how to interpret hygrometer in case, or what to do if not appropriate reading. The case is lightweight and appears well made (nothing loose or noticeably off). I am so glad I did the offered upgrade to the carbon fiber bow. Weight and balance are very good. Appears well made also. So far, very pleased at this price point.

I upgraded my Henner violin to a Zubak Soloist I am so very HAPPY with it.. I was helped by Owen but a misunderstanding happened I order it by phone and got my credit card charged and after that they said there’s NO available Zubak Soloist I had to wait a week to get it.. so I they returned my money after a week when I order again the price of the Codabow NX changed he said he made a mistake but then he told me before that he spoke to his manager and it’s approved.. anyways it’s not that much..but still anyways.. When it arrived the rosin was cracked and Zach was able to replace it THANK YOU SO MUCH OWEN, JAMES, and KENNEDY VIOLIN FAM. Blessings, Marc violinist lol

This guitar arrived promptly, and expertly set up.Playability and intonation stability are perfect.The only trouble is, after playing a perfect guitar, now I can hear my old guilds buzzing machine heads ☺

I originally purchased this guitar because a friend recommended it. For the price I feel I got an acoustic 2-3 times the price. Really nice solid cedar top and beautiful rosewood sides. Fully bound on the top and bottom. And the neck is bound.After using for a long time and taking it all over the world eventually the bridge came loose due to the humidity, altitude and temperatures. Even after 4 years of owning it they immediately told me to send it back and they would take care of everything. I didn’t have to pay shipping or anything. They had it back to me within 10 days which includes shipping both ways.So customer service is A+ and the products are A+How can you go wrong.- Richard

This is a fantastic shop with fantastic people. Their products are top-quality for amazing prices. Its obvious that they truly care for their customers. Personally, I would only trust Kennedy for my violin needs. They care just as much for their products as they do for their customers. Fantastic service and products all around. I wish I could give more than 5 stars to this wonderful business.

I would rated them a five star because of the service and the quality/price of the viola we received on time The only trouble we had was the case came locked and the key was inside the case. A bent paperclip was all we needed to get into it and the service call we made was positive. We upgraded the strings when we bought it. I think my daughter will love it!

I bought a dn-1 Antonio Giuliani mahogany guitar bundle. It came with an extra set of stings, picks, electronic tuner and a guitar case. It shipped very quickly and arrived in perfect condition. The instrument is absolutely beautiful and more importantly sounds amazing! For the price I paid of $269.99 I am absolutely blown away with the quality of the instrument! I would highly recommend Kennedy Violins products! AMAZING!!!! :)

As I am still just learning the violin, Im not sure I can give a very good review. However, I love my new violin! It has a very clear, rich sound. It came in perfect condition, the case did as well. The staff here are great and very helpful. I had no trouble placing my order and they made sure everything was as it should be. And I would like to say thank you for the wonderful service and quality products.

JUST A BEAUTIFUL CLASSICAL GUITAR, with WONDERFUL SOUND!I have wanted to buy a decent classical guitar to learn how to play on, for the longest time. Im almost 80 years old, and thats a long, long time!Everything I have read about the Antonio Giuliani CL-6 Classical Guitar have been positive. Its also nice to know this guitar is hand made and not banged out in some factory as fast as they can make them!Last Friday I called Kennedy Violins and spoke to Owen in online sales, I had a few questions and requests I wanted answered before I bought a guitar without actually holding it in my hand. Owen answered all my questions and addressed my requests, I ordered the CL-6 Outfit.Today a week later I just received it, WOW! what a beautiful guitar, and what a wonderful sound it has too! Listening to a video on a laptop, and hearing it in person is like night and day! I am SO PLEASED I bought it. I had a question or two when receiving the guitar with a beautiful guitar bag that comes in this package too. I called today and spoke to Rachel at Kennedy Violins, Rachel also answered all my question too.The people I have spoken to at this music shop, seem to know their business and seem VERY happy to help, with any question I asked of them, thats VERY GOOD in my book.I DO RECOMMEND BUYING from KENNEDY VIOLINS online or in person, With all the music shops across this nation, this guy who lives in New York ended buying his classical guitar from a music shop in the state of Washington, clear across the country! Im so glad I found them, they had exactly what I want. And the people who work there are so nice and there for you. BRAVO!

This is the 4th violin I purchased from Kennedy. The quality of these instruments has been exceptional. I strongly recommend considering them when shopping for a new instrument.Additionally I want to note that instead to renting we opted to buy from Kennedy. Compared to the rentals the other students had the Kennedy violins held their own at each scale. Now that we bought my daughter her 1st full scale we chose to get a model that will be sufficient for her skill level for many years. Doing the math, purchasing from Kennedy was nearly the same cost as renting through her school/local store except my daughter gets to keep every violin she grew up with and God willing pass them on to her children to children. I cant stress enough how much better I think this choice was.

A quality experience. I guess #3 is the best number. After 2 fails at ordering a violin I decided that experience says it all. I ordered after much research on the Kennedy website. Everything was a hit. Quality all the way and my next order will be here. Very well made instrument. Next order Franke Henner one piece back. Zack answered my emails promptly and even found a rare one piece back violin for me. He sent pics of the front and back and I was sold. Nothing to hide here. Good quality great people and a VERY GOOD instrument and customer service. Everything has to be right. I called and found that he had set it aside for me. Two time buyer and I found folks who are really interested in your musical journey. Kudos.

I have to say, buying a violin is one of the hardest decisions we have had to make. Why so hard? Anyway had a Mendini $80 to start and really got our money out of it, but after 4 years our daughter (15) needed a replacement and the search was on for a reasonable replacement, but a better one. So many to look at some say this ones great, others say its bad. Ran across Kennedy Violins 🎻 while searching videos of top 10 cheaper violins on Amazon. So I went to their own website saw their, process, superb ratings and prices cheaper than Amazon. Watched the video from their store and was sold. We settled on a Brunell which came well packed with some extras and in about 5 days. My daughter says its a great violin that sounds fabulous. Finally I had to call Kennedy for something silly. My daughter called me said the violin arrived and the case was locked with no key. As I was not home, I made a quick call, advised the issue and was told it was a common mistake and she needed to push down on button and not in. Very friendly, and easily solved. Super happy 15 year old and job done.

Owen, Zach, and James were extremely helpful. They were very gracious on the phone, offered all of the help I needed, and placed me on the right path. My AG CL-6 guitar arrived in perfect condition. It was well packaged and certainly stands up against any brand in this price category.

Recently purchased the Antonio Giuliani CL-5 Classical Guitar along with accessories. I absolutely love this guitar! The sound quality, look, and feel is impeccable and you can’t beat the price for a handmade guitar of this quality. I had been playing a 20 year old Bruno Ventura guitar for years which was good to me but I didn’t know what I was missing. Also the Kennedy Violins team is responsive and friendly. I live on the east coast and my orders arrived timely and handled with care.

Really nice violin at a great price. The purchase process was intuitive and I received my violin promptly and undamaged. I bought violin 6 months ago, and have had no issues with it whatsoever. It reliably remains tuned and produces a nice sound. Finally, it came in a much nicer case than I had expected for the price.

Absolutely beautiful violin! I love the sound! Perfect for a re-beginner like me. I havent played a violin since I was 12. Everything that came with the violin, from the case to the bow, is well worth the price. Great quality. When Im ready for an upgrade, I will definitely get it from Kennedy Violins. Thank you!.

Review №30

What a complete setup for a beginner like me. Absolutely perfect. And, MOST IMPORTANTLY, an extra set of strings. Why, you ask? Well, I tried tuning the violin as if it were a guitar - by turning the pegs. DONT TURN THE PEGS - use the small tuners at the other end of the string. Now my next lesson will be learning how to restring my violin. Now that Ive messed up the tuning on all the strings, Im assuming that I should use the pegs to tune each string a bit flat and then bring them up to the proper tune with the tuning screws. By the time I get done restringing the violin, I could have become proficient enough to play in Carnegie Hall.

I had several telephone conversations with staff before picking out a violin with an electric pickup for blue grass music. My customized Franke Henner violin arrived today, and it is everything I hoped for! The shop is sending me a new frog with fine tuners for each string to make it even better. I couldn’t ask for more.

Seriously happy with our purchase, Antonio Giuliani DN-2P Protégé. This guitar sings! The sound is amazing, we just fell inlove with this guitar. Its perfect size for my 8yo, the strings are soft and doesnt hurt his young fingers. If you are thinking about it, dont hesitate anymore and purchase. Its beautiful guitar, and my son loves it! Alot!

It was a very pleasant experience purchasing online. I had so many questions and they always answered my emails quickly. The delivery was very fast and packaging secure. The violin looks and sounds very nice. I got so excited playing it. The hard case looks great although I’m not expecting it to be scratch resistant. It’s just the right size for me and has a shoulder rest holder too. I hope to enjoy this gem for years to come and I hope Kennedy Violin will always be there for support.

Love the violin I hadnt played in many many years but I dont even remember my violin sound being so rich and smooth. I absolutely love my purchase so far so good. I purchased the Ricard Bunnel G1 Violin Outfit with 2 upgrades to the bow and strings. Amazing service, packaging was well and secured. I even love the fact that my case is able to be locked. I received a cute violin key chain that was a great touch. But overall the instrument is well made and Im glad I went to the actual site instead of Amazon. The customer service is excellent as well

Absolutely outstanding service. My aunt is a violin teacher and recommended the place to me, the quality of the instrument for the rental price is excellent, plus they included everything my daughter would need. They were able to size my daughter for her violin with only 1 simple measurement, so we were able to keep it a Christmas surprise. They were even able to find a case with her favorite color (blue) in the interior. It was well worth the 2 hour drive to pick it up.

I am a complete noob to the violin. I have played the trumpet for 4 years and took a guitar class in high school but that was so long ago. I have always had an interest in playing violin and decided to do some research. I was going to purchase a violin off of Amazon and then started looking at instrument reviews on YouTube. I wasn’t exactly thrilled with what I was finding. I stumbled across Kennedy Violins on Amazon advertising the Bunnell Premiere outfit and loved everything it came with and the price point for a good violin. I did further research on YouTube and found tons of videos by Joel Kennedy and remote lessons were offered as well as the outstanding customer service. I actually went to Kennedy Violins website to purchase and they were out of stock at the time but I decided this was the company I wanted to go with so I called them. The rep was extremely nice and got my number and called me back in a few days when they received a new shipment. Zach has been in contact with me through the whole order process and I have already called about a weird tuning issue I was having and the guy I think his name was Owen helped me figure that out as well. They are extremely friendly and helpful and I am very happy I purchased my violin through Kennedy Violins and I am excited to schedule my first lesson soon. Thank you guys so much!!

I chose to buy my violin strings from Kennedy Violins because they had some helpful videos online that helped me choose what strings to buy, and that showed me how to put the strings on. It was my first time changing my violin strings. I received the strings in the mail and I put them on my violin with no trouble. My violin sounds better now! I think Kennedy Violins has good customer support.

I recently ordered a Nicolas Gand violin online from Kennedy Violins. The help I received from Zach was really great! I got my violin before Christmas and it is beautiful! After a few days of playing the strings are breaking in and the violin is sounding better and better. I cant wait to have a couple of years playing to see how the violin opens up. It is already a resonant violin that sings! I think this violin was an excellent buy, a great value for money spent. Shipping time was excellent and I received the violin right on time before Christmas. I am a very happy customer with this purchase. Thank you Kennedy Violins!!!

I absolutely love this store! Im a private music teacher and I was looking for a high-quality instrument for an affordable price. One of my own students recommended Kennedy Violins and I am so thankful that she did because I was able to get a BEAUTIFUL violin through this store! I was able to get a free upgraded case, a free upgraded carbon fiber bow, and the violin for about $450! This is an INSANELY good deal because all of the products are of superb quality. When they shipped me my order (which was also FREE despite the fact that I live on the other side of the country) they even gave me a free keychain, cloth, pencil, and pen with my order. Whenever I had a question about their products, they responded to my emails within the hour and were willing to go above and beyond to help me. They say that they take pride in their customer service and it shows; this was such an amazing company to purchase their products! I could not recommend this store anymore because of their incredible products, prices, and customer service. If you need a new violin, go to Kennedy Violins!

Review №48

Much research was done before purchasing a violin. Kennedy Violins stood out for me due to their user-friendly website, helpful videos, and the fact that violinists are behind every violin made. What more could I have asked for? Well, theres more. The customer service is the best. Friendly staff answer the phone every time. I am a beginner and have started to take their online lessons. Despite me being nervous and somewhat self conscious about being an adult beginner, instructional staff have been patient, friendly, and provided useful strategies. Today, I activated the warranty and so Im looking forward to being part of the Kennedy Violins family. Thank you!

We purchased a Carpini violin from Kennedy’s a 1/10 size. He was picky about tone and the average rental wouldn’t do. We’ve moved our way up to a 3/4 and he still lives the tone and playability of his Carpini. We have always had wonderful help from the staff. They truly go above and beyond (even allowing a young man to pick between 3 violins one year, as he tested each one out in a practice room - have to get the right one😉).

Review №53

I was drawn to Kennedy Instruments by seeing Joel Kennedy on You Tube. I was not disappointed. All three times that I have called there, I have been fortunate to get Rachel, the same player-teacher-sales person and she was and has been delightful. I am, perhaps, a problem customer in that I am 73 years old and, although a lifelong musician, brand new to the violin. Rachel steered me to the best Instrument for me and when it arrived it was perfectly packed and arrived in the shape it left Vancouver. This instrument will probably keep me happy for a year or two and then I will return to Kennedy for an upgrade.Thank you Rachel and Kennedy Violins.

Fantastic customer service! When I ordered a Kennedy Violin’s violin through Amazon, the threads on the screw that is used to tighten/loosen the bow were stripped.

I will definitely be shopping at Kennedy Violins again!

Although not primarily a musician, I am much more of a woodworker and as such I must say that the guitar is a thing of beauty. The build and finish seems flawless and most attractive. Sound wise, though not an expert there, my guitar teacher spoke highly of the sound, tone and playability of the instrument. The instrument is certainly pleasing to me as I make progress in my learning. Kennedy Violins Inc is a most pleasant company to deal with placing the needs and desires of the customer at the highest level. I have already passed on high ratings to numerous other people. Thoroughly satisfied is my response.

We just received our second violin from Kennedy Violins, and our experiences have been excellent both times. Our first purchase was over a year ago, and that violin held up to our then-5-year-old’s daily usage perfectly (which is saying quite a lot!). It was a small (1/8 size) instrument and needed to be tuned often but was an excellent value for the price. The new, larger violin we received more recently was on clearance, and we’re blown away by how pretty it is! We’re looking forward to hearing him play it and recommend Kennedy Violins so highly. We have only good things to say about this company.

Review №64

My purchase of a violin at Kennedy Violins has been an efficient professional experience! I first ordered a violin about a year ago from a different company and received a giant box with only a bow! So when I determined to do this again, I ordered the violin and found the box on my front porch with a giant gash in the side! Bummer---I immediately called Kennedy to see what to do and they advised to go ahead and open the box as the cases are built well and can withstand rough handling. There is a puncture in the case, but it did not touch the violin. The violin is a delicate, beautiful, take my breath away instrument! This a bucket list project and I am working my way into learning to play. My great grandfather was a luthier and both my grandfather and a great-uncle played violin so I look forward to the journey! Kennedy Violins attention to quality and understanding of the value of music is reflected in the instruments they offer. I did much research and their name popped up over and over again on the recommended lists. I would recommend them to anyone serious about purchasing a stringed instrument even sight-unseen!

Zach Sears is a bass player that works at Kennedy Violins. We both own Samuel Shen Rogeri model upright basses. Zach took my bass in for repairs and setup. He conducted a comprehensive diagnosis and treatment plan for my bass, that covered my known concerns and revealed some additional problems. The shop reduced the height of my bridge, so now it plays better than ever. I am very pleased with repairs and most notably their integrity. Five stars for every category!

I am an adult beginner. I have always dreamed of learning the violin. Seeing many for sale on Marketplace for very little money, I thought that I could do this.Fortunately I began researching them before I bought one. After reading many reviews and notes from adult beginners, there was definitely a consensus to purchase a violin that had the potential of making quality sound. I looked on eBay. I looked on Amazon. I saw a Kennedy violin on Amazon that interested me, but fortunately I went directly to their website. Oh my... so glad I did! I found a wealth of information and video’s that allowed me to hear them being played. They also had a note about Black Friday Sales.I ended up purchasing a Louis Carpini G2 package. It’s beautiful! The best part is I had my first private lesson yesterday and my violin teacher looked over my instrument and said it was very nice. It’s definitely not what would be considered a beginner instrument and would keep me happy for a long time. Then he played it. It sang for him.I am so happy with my purchase.Just a note, Kennedy Violins was wonderful to work with. They answered questions. Shipping was perfect. I received exactly what I was expecting if not better!

Ordered my first violin online. Being a beginner and not knowing what is quality, I took it to a local violin shop and had them check it out for me, also had them play it so I could hear what it really was capable of.They were impressed with the quality and the sound, said I couldnt ask for a better sounding violin even if I would have purchased a more expensive one.Very happy with the purchase overall.

Just received my new violin. I am blown away by the instrument. It more beautiful than I imagined. It has been tuned so well I could play it right out of the box. I will most definitely buy from Kennedy again. They did an outstanding job on my violin. Thank you so much.I bought the Brunnel Pupil Violin Outfit and it is absolutely heavenly. I practiced for a half an hour and barely needed to tune, as opposed to spending half my practice time tuning before. Only had the instrument one day and feel invigorated.

Excellent company. My daughter loves her violin that we bought last year. It is very high quality and super durable you can tell that it was hand crafted with passion. I strongly believe they should be in all schools across the US that offer orchestra. If you are thinking to go elsewhere to save a few bucks and sacrifice quality, you are doing your child and or yourself a disservice. Not to mention their prices are already fair. The Louis Carpini violin was the best choice for my 12 year old. Worth every penny.

The violin came the day it was promised. It was beautiful right out of the box.. It was perfectly tuned, all accessories(case, bow, rosin, extra strings, book, tuner and shoulder rest) were enclosed and it sounds amazing- a very rich sound . I havent picked up a violin in 30 years, so obviously I am very rusty, but it still sounded so great. I love it and am so happy that I bought it from you guys. I had been shopping for a month before I decided, and I am glad that I waited. I highly recommend Kennedy Violins and I plan on making many more purchases with you in the future.

The violin showed up fast, was in great shape and sounds amazing. Im new to playing music but my teacher who is in the local orchestra and the other students I come across all love my Kennedy Violin. The craftsmanship and quality along with the price make it an excellent choice.

I have only had a couple of minutes to add rosin and play a few notes. But...it was absolutely wonderful. The tone is clear and it handles well. Thank you.

We just received the Antonio Giuliani etude 1/2 violin and my daughter is thrilled. It really is beautiful and she’s never played before, starts her first lesson Monday but it sounds good right out of the wonderful case. I appreciate the details, it comes with everything she needs for the violin. I’m shocked to see the price is $30 less today (we just got the violin in the mail minutes ago) than it was the day we ordered it.

I am very pleased with my purchase, I bought and electric violin and I am loving it. I love the quality of the violin at a very affordable price. Will definitely be purchasing my next acoustic violin with Kenedy Violins. Also I wanted mention that my case came defective but they were quick to help me send me a replacement. Quick shipping and amazing customer service....

I bought a violin from them online. It arrived very quickly and I was extremely happy with my Purchase. Everything was accounted for and arrived as described. Plus they offer lots of free goodie bags with purchases when you activate a Warranty or Register your Violin. two of their violins made it to Top 10 of 2020 so I give them a glowing 5 stars

Fast shipping, rare and highly desirable products. I ordered first a violin intermediate lesson book not easily found in the big stores, and ordered a student guitar next, and the shipping was by the next day, and although the guitar has not arrived i will come back later to rate it.

These folks are the real deal. They deliver on what they say, provide good service, and communicate extremely well. This is unusual these days. I bought an Antonio Juliani classical guitar from them. In arrived in immaculate condition and setup was perfect. It was obvious they took the time to do it right. I highly recommend them.

This is only the second review I have ever taken the time to write, Kennedy Violins deserve the feedback! This company was one of the best shopping experience I have ever had! I was looking to purchase one of the violin bundle options for my 6 year old daughter, the instrument and size were back ordered. I called KV and the young lady who answered was so sweet, knowledgeable and helpful! She double checked the inventory and offered to substitute a higher quality instrument into the bundle for the same price point! Along with their trade in program I felt confident to purchase. The shipment came quickly, packaged nicely and the quality of everything included was top notch! the violin sounds far better than the one we were renting through a local music store. AND I thought the rubber squeak chicken was a humorous and fun add in!!
