For the violin search, maybe, set yourself the price range. If you have access to a reputable violin shop, I would start there and build a relationship with them. They would probably have better violins than you find online and would be able to help with the set up. You will need a good bow, chinrest and shoulder rest as well as the violin. Then, if you have not found one at a violin shop, or none is a available in your area, Google for some violins in your area, and if you want, you can post some photos on the forum in your topic thread. Your thoughts as to why you are considering that violin, If you played them, your thoughts as playing, etc. Maybe we can help out that way. 

After you have ruled out local shops, and before expanded Google searches, I would check for violin shops that are the most likely places you would or could drive to if you needed repairs, etc and see if they have a web site and start there. You can see what they have, call them and let them know what you want, and maybe they can send trial violins, or you can find one you want to buy and they can ship it. I think that would be the safest online purchase direction to start with. That way, you have started a relationship with the drivable violin shop and will have a go to place that is knowledgeable and trusting for your violin needs. If you do not see anything on their website, call anyway. They may have used violins that are not listed, or new ones not listed, 

I would highly suggest that you call Fiddlershop.Then you can tell them your price range, your expectations, plans, etc. They will sincerely give you the best options. But, given you do not live in the states, if I recall correctly, that may not be the best option, given the shipping, but that depends on your situation.

If Fiddlershop is not viable because of shipping, then start the expanded Google search. But, I would find out what Fiddlershop has to offer first. Maybe the shipping is not out if your means. What you find in a Google search may require overseas shipping and whatever other fees in entails, too. Fiddlershop is absolutely the best in customer service, price and quality.

Now, do NOT forget the bow. That is as important as the instrument. A bad bow will make a good instrument sound bad. In a cheaper violin outfit, the bows are usually bad, so if you decide on an inexpensive violin, I suggest you spend some money on an upgrade for your bow. 

Now, understand, I do have a few violins, but I spend more time on my cello. Others who are more experienced with violins can help more with the specifics or disagree with me completely, but I suggest you post your request in the Learning to Play section of the forum, rather than the Introduce Yourself.

None of us are connected to Fiddlershop. We do not get paid. As one of the administrator/moderators of the site, I am not connected to the shop, either. None of us are.

Also, with Suzuki books 1, I believe the songs are pretty much all A and E strings at the beginning.
