I bought this little violin as a complete beginner so I could learn quietly in my apartment. It's great for that! It stays in tune relatively well, and it's actually pretty good quality.
It's louder than I expected, but that's just the way the acoustics work. All in all, I would highly suggest this violin to someone who is learning.
I can't attest to the sound quality, because I almost never plug it in, and I wouldn't know good sound quality anyway.
