I'd stay away from any violin that costs $100 or less! Getting it setup correctly would cost you more than the violin does in the first place! The pegs will definitely have to be set so they'll stay In place when you're tuning. Some will disagree with me, but a decent bow starts at around $150 and goes up quickly from there. I use a Marco Raposo silver bow and have a Klaus Becker as a backup. I was told when I first started playing and knew I was gonna stick with it, to go ahead and buy a really good bow and grow into it, versus buying a cheap one and then a little better one and then a little better one.
