So I would like to learn to play a violin but do not have a

A quality violin should be constructed out of quality wood with a beautiful grain and color, so not the plasticy yellow kind. That's about all i know op.

Do you know anyone who plays violin? If so bring them with you.

For what it's worth, I learned on a super sketchy cheap violin, it doesn't matter if it's your first one. You're going to sound like absolute garbage on any violin you can buy, if you've never played before.

Buy a cheap one. Although most teachers recommend buying a decent one to start... you don't need to.
Also, you'll probably need to pay for a teacher if you don't have a good ear, etc.

I started on a piece of shit with a plastic neck

Also if you're old enough to post on 4chan, violin is going to be a bitch to learn. You will suck terribly. After one year you will still suck terribly. After two years you might still suck terribly depending on your talent. It takes like 5 or 6 years for you to git gud, minimum, if you practice every day. Think about whether you're willing to put in that effort before you put down the money.

Rolim violins from Brazil. Dirty cheap for all solid wood instruments.
