bkepler above is right on. The beauty of learning orchestral strings is decent ones are available to rent! Go to a music store that has a good selection. Many people start violin and end up not staying with it - why sink a few hundred $ into it that you'll likely not get back. Also, before you learn, its not easy to try out a few to see what you like - they all sound terrible in a beginner's hands!
Work with a local violin teacher to find a suitable rental and to get started right.
