Our Point of View on Bunnel Pupil Violins
WTI | We Tried It!
Product Description
As the perfect beginner violin, the Bunnel Pupil Violin Outfit includes everything you need to begin your musical journey. We understand that the quality of your first instrument greatly affects your initial playing and learning experience, especially for younger students. To help you or your child have the most positive and enjoyable experience, we ensure comfortable playability and precise string height for new players. As a result, we ensure that the sound quality and ease of playing of the Bunnel Pupil Violin will be far superior to any other beginner violin at this incredible value.
Affordability
At Kennedy Violins, we are adamant about providing EVERYONE, young and old, access and the opportunity to learn an instrument by constructing beautiful, high-quality violins that are both easy to play and affordable. There are many inexpensive instruments that are poorly made, and you get what you pay for — often something hardly playable that merely looks like a violin. We offer the Bunnel Pupil Violin as an affordable alternative for customers who want to spend the least amount on the highest quality instrument available. We are confident that you will be satisfied with the attention to detail and durability of this violin.
All final assembly and FREE setup is performed locally in the USA by our professional luthier staff. NO assembly or setup is required with a violin that is ready to tune and play from the moment you open the case.
Professional set up includes:
- Accurately planed and smoothed fingerboard.
- Custom-fit bridge is hand-carved, arched, shaped, and notched.
- Bridge feet are fit to the curvature of the violin.
- The nut is carved to professional standard measurements.
- Pegs are fitted and treated for smooth operation.

VIOLIN SIZE CHART
Use the sizing chart to choose the correct size from the arm measurement.
Follow these instructions for the most accurate size: First, with arm outstretched to the side, measure the player's arm from the base of neck to mid-palm. Check the size chart below for the right size of violin according to arm length measurement. Always choose the smaller size if the student is in-between sizes. A larger instrument will hinder the student’s ability to play properly. The deciding factor is if the student is able to, or very close to, playing the 4th finger. If they can reach this fingering the violin will be usable.
- Extend arm fully to the side and perpendicular to the body.
- Measure from the base of the neck to the middle of the palm.
- If you are between sizes, size down.
Please use the sizing chart below to assist you.
1/16 | 14"–15" arm length, usually 3–5 years age |
1/10 | 15"–16" arm length, usually 3–5 years age |
1/8 | 16"–18" arm length, usually 3–5 years age |
1/4 | 18"–20" arm length, usually 4–7 years age |
1/2 | 20"–22" arm length, usually 6–10 years age |
3/4 | 22"–23" arm length, usually 9–11 years age |
4/4 | 23" and up arm length, usually 12 years and up in age |

This Bunnell Pupil violin kit from Kennedy Violins is absolutely everything I could have wanted, at an amazing price. I have a music store just right down the street, and even their used violins, which don't seem to be particularly excellent quality, are more expensive than this entire outfit. I immediately registered on the Kennedy website and also got a full bridge rubber mute for practicing in my apartment, some string cloths, and a book. I called Kennedy to get help registering the violin after it arrived and Rachel was very helpful!
I got a black case with grey lining, and a matching cloth to cover the violin. I took only one picture but all the other pictures by other reviewers triodastra and Just me are good representatives of what everything looks like. I would have been happy with any of the three random colors. The hygrometer in the case does seem to work. There is a zipper pocket on the top of the case where I keep a lesson book and some cloths. Inside is as described; it's a sturdy, padded case with cutouts for the violin, shoulder rest, and a lidded compartment for rosin, strings, and whatever, which are actually all in there, in addition to two straps that can be used to carry the case backpack style or the long way. Pay attention; there is a padding piece at the end of the cutout that corresponds to the tail of the violin; I brushed my fingers under it and found a small key under there for the main compartment's zipper lock, which is just over the button that unsnaps the flap! That way you can lock it and it can't be unsnapped and opened, at least not quickly.
The top lid of the case, which houses the hygrometer, has slots to hold two bows, with a pivoting plastic piece that holds them in. The kit comes with one bow, already rosined and ready to go. There's an extra set of strings in addition to the D'Addario strings already installed and tuned. All guitarists know D'Addario makes good quality player-priced strings. Haven't tried the other Portland brand yet.
The violin itself looks very nice, and is of obvious good quality. There don't appear to be any defects. The back is a solid piece, the varnish is nice, and everything seems to be well built. As I said I don't have a lot of experience other than with a cello back in the day, but I cannot find any fault with the construction. The pegs fit well and do not slip, the bridge is sturdy, the fine tuners work well and are easier to turn than I expected, thebow is light and sturdy and the hairs stay put so far (about two weeks). The sound seems quite nice, especially after I got the Trala app and played with the tuner and learned to hold the bow properly again and use the right pressure. Tuning the thing actually seems to be the best way for me to learn the right pressure and bowing technique, as the note will not sound pure unless you bow correctly. When I bow correctly, the sound, even with the mute on (I haven't actually played with it off yet!) sounds just as good as the instructors on the Trala app, and I assume they are using much more expensive violins!
Bottom line: if you want a violin, get this outfit. Period. I remember my mom having to scrimp to rent the instruments I played in school, and they are much more expensive than this nowadays. This price for such a nice instrument and all the various extras, is to me, now that I understand things better, an absolutely amazing value. Even if at my age I manage to become good enough to want to invest in a more pricey instrument, I would still use this to practice on I'm sure. I'm blown away. Don't look anywhere else; I looked all over Amazon and this Bunnel Pupil violin from Kennedy Violins is what you want, I guarantee. And Kennedy has already proven themselves to me to be a great company. This is your new violin!

===============
I am editing my review after 8 months of purchase. My kid broke the end button of her violin while she was tuning. It was quite scary because 1) I was worried about the repairing cost and 2) my child cannot play the violin until it is fixed.
Anyhow, I contacted Kennedy violin with pictures. They sent me the shipping label immediately and I shipped the violin without any cost. After sending the violin, I received back the all fixed, like-new violin in two weeks. Considering that I am in Connecticut and Kennedy Violins is in Washington, it is impressively quick delivery. They didn't charge me anything for repair or shipping because I had warranty.
Thank you ever again, Kennedy Violins! It is so pleasant to use your products!
I like everything of it!!
It brings everything it says.
The only thing is that the frog has like an a scratch on it, and behind the peg box there is like a mark of “glue” leaking, and one of the F wholes is like missing some black paint but I mean for the price that’s nothing, I might just change the bow later on, but!
if you’re a beginner this violin is perfect for you or if you just don’t want to spend a lot of money this violin is perfect!!!!!
So I can just said that I love it!!!
