Do the fine tuners on the MV 650 take loop-end or ball-end violin strings?

they are good with both. The zyex strings I got and they are the best for the money too.

I upgraded to Thomastik Dominant Violin String set Ball End strings. I'm a novice and it was easy to change strings, I had no issues with the fine tuners.

No not if You expected to work correctly out of the box. My daughters instructor tried to tune it and was afraid that she was going to crack the violin if she continued to tune it. Some of the other posts advise if you replace the strings that will fix the problem but I didn't attempt to that I just went out to get another replacement one that was a little bit better

Good capo does not change tone, or bend strings out of tune. Tip in using it, press strings down before squeezing down on capo.

Use the pegs at the neck to ball park, and the fine tuners by your bridge to specify your exact notes. The tuning pegs on the headstock are like any other violin. You have to gently push them into the wood to get a tight grip that won't slip. I urge you: be carful, but firm at the same time. Thanks!

All of these have the ball end. I was not really happy with these strings. I really like the D'Addario Helocore 4/4 Violin Strings I now use better and they are less expensive. I also ordered some Pirastro Chromcor strings that I am getting ready to try.

No. However, a string may break if the string had been improperly installed, or the tuning process was done incorrectly. Use a tuner. I have a Snark. They're inexpensive, and will give you good results. On the positive side, this will give you the opportunity to switch to a lighter string set!

The strings come attached. In fact, as soon as my violin came in, I took it to my local music store (who strung my acoustic violin) to have him check it out to see if the violin and strings are of good quality. He thought is was decent quality. I couldn't be happier with it, especially for the price. When you first get it, you will have to re-tune the strings every 10 minutes or so while you are playing, but after about a week of re-tuning (and it does need tuning less frequently with time) you are good to go. It doesn't hold a tune as well as my acoustic...I tune it before I begin playing usually, but it does hold well and the sound is fantastic. You can play it through an amp or into headphones and I think the sound quality is awesome. Hope this helps. :)

The strings are installed. Suggest you get a digital tuner so you can tune it though.

I have had an MV650 for about 3 years now and have often pondered the differences to the MV500. I have come to the conclusion, after looking at various photos of both, that the only difference is more flaming of the maple on the back of the MV650, and perhaps a better overall finished result. I believe it is common for violin manufacturers to take a group of completed violins that are made from the same specifications, and the ones that come out the best are labeled as a better model with a higher price.

The violin that we purchased came equipped with strings already installed. Most of them snapped upon first tuning. We are experience with violins, so this means the strings are of poor quality. Do your self a favor and order a set of better quality strings in addition to the violin. Would suggest Daddario prelude steel strings ($15?). They are USA made, and will work well on an electric violin.All the best!

No, it says it is a set, which means four (gdae) It says ball end e, which is instead of a loop, which would depend on your violin but ball end is probably what you need. I would suggest getting a set of D'addario Pro Arté strings instead. They are cheaper and sound much warmer with more complex overtones.

Yes, strings, tuner and case. You'll be ready to play right out of the box!

HI... I bought the MV650 and I like the sound, good strings, the shoulder rest I changed it for another, I have not problems with your parts (tuner, bows, rosin)... this violin is good for a level intermedium violinist... the cost is a little more expensive, but I am glad with my MV650... any question plase contact me...

I have the 60v. It must be for violin. G is for guitar. It works great and has terrific sound. For the money, you can't beat it.

Modern 12-strings generally handle the stock strings with which the ship (usually lights) tuned to concert pitch. I install heavies and tune them a full step down and the guitar is fine.

Ball end. You can use them on most, if not all, steel string acoustic guitars

I don't know anything about violins. But I can say I've used it to ream 10mm holes for guitar tuners with good success. The trick is to work from both sides, go really slow and check your progress often.
