I actually have a cheap violin that was a $100 new back several years ago. It plays much better than what I can. My buddy has one too and can make his sound pretty dang good. That common part between the two is that they both are very loud but don’t have a great tone. The bows are so so but I started using some better rosin and if helped. If the one your looking at is the same qaulity I’d say go for it. See if your gonna want to stick with it or not and you can always upgrade later. Bow wise you can upgrade then just keep the nice bow when u get a better violin
Two things I’ll throw out. If your practicing and don’t want the full volume you can put a couple pieces of tape over the sound holes and that’ll dampen it. If you want frets you can get online and get what is basically a fretted liner. It just stick onto the finger board.
Also in my neck of the woods we call them “ fiddles”.
