Your violin should come with four strings and a functional bow with a good set of hair.

Make sure to find a sturdy case with a handle to carry easily. Include a name tag to easily identify your case.

Rosin is rubbed on the hair of the bow in order to create sound when it is placed on the strings.

Using a shoulder rest will help in developing proper playing position.

Include a microfiber soft cloth to wipe off excess rosin on the violin or strings.

Always have an extra set of strings on hand to replace broken ones.
