hi, came back to add detail.
$175 is too cheap for a violin in most cases, and most of the options on amazon are a bad idea.
however, kennedy violins is a reputable real life violin shop that just happens to have an amazon storefront, and they occasionally have clearance items that get close to your $175 mark, so if your only chance to get a violin is amazon and you cant afford more, browsing their deals is probably your best option.
