How much does a good violin cost?
The answer to this question depends on how you plan on using the violin. If your 5 year old wants to play the violin a good violin will cost very little for her compared to you son going off to music school to be a violinist. You can get adequate violins for learning at realatively good prices and it is unwise to invest in a very expensive instrument just because it is better if you don’t know if you are going to continue playing it. (Also violins need to be played often to stay in good playing condition so its a waste if you just let a good violin sit if you decide not to play, besides the waste of money.
