Hello folks!

I'm going to attend violin lessons in couple of weeks. My instructor advised me to get a violin first. Today I went to several stores to do some survey. Since, I'm just a beginner I decided to get a second hand violin. Coz, new violins can cost up to rm 500!! Then I came across one store. They sold second hand violins. Both 3/4 and 4/4. Both priced at rm 200. I decided to get the 3/4 coz, I'm a petite girl. My arms and fingers are short. And I feel much comfortable holding the 3/4. The 3/4 violin sounded much warmer. The full violin tone was a bit 'nasal '.

Price wise, both were rm 200. Then, the shop owner reduced the price of the 3/4 violin to rm 150 coz the casing zip was spoilt . Do you think its a reasonable price? Rm 150 for a second hand 3/4 violin with spoilt casing zip? Just want to know if it was worth it or did I just got ripped off?

Btw, it's a China brand.
