A Rothenburg violin is a factory made violin out of a German violin building school. It is usually reasonably priced and is good for beginning students. If buying a used Rothenburg, you may want to replace the bridge and strings right away as they are the part that needs replacing most often.

This violin is the premier violin for intermediate or advanced players. This violin is made from the best hand selected tone woods available. The backs are good aged maple and the top is aged spruce. All the fittings are ebony. Wooden horse hair brazilwood make up the bow. These are very expensive violins.

He read that off their advertisement which of course they would say. It's a decent beginners violin and should do you justice untill you play better and want a more quality instrument in the 400-800 range.  add a comment

They ARE great violins, but not that expensive- there's generally 3 or 4 models on ebay for under $100. Like most new violins, you should work the pegs in a bit with the strings loose when it goes out of tune at first- in a week or so it'll hold!  add a comment

i have come to the conclusion that the Rothenburg is just another Chinese factory-made beginner quality violin, regardless of how it's advertised.

I've had a Rothenberg Flame Back fiddle for about a month- I think it may be one of the best violins under $100. If it were a guitar, it would sell in the $120- $250 range I'm sure. It's very well made, tuners on each string- I recommend! laminisotheostreffered

I have one. I got it during my freshman year of high school. After 4 years I'm now looking into replacing it. It's honestly complete junk. It doesn't hold a tune for longer than a couple hours. The finish chips frequently. It has a weird rattling noise. It's just bad.
