One of the great things about violin is you can rent them. Go to a music store and try a few out. Take one home for a while. Then try another. Repeat as desired. Many music stores will let you apply the rent toward a purchase.
Eastman guitars and mandolins get a lot of praise here, with good reason. Eastman Strings has been making orchestral stringed instruments longer than they've been making guitars and mandos. Not a bad place to start.
