You should have said which country your are in (United States?) and what your price range is.

I would ask at your violin shop and see what they have. You should be able to get a beginner's outfit for about $300. Make sure you buy it from a proper violin shop so that it is set up correctly.

Do NOT buy it from ebay or from a general music shop.

You cannot just go on brands. If the violin has not been set up correctly then it will not sound very good.

Click on this link...violin purchasing is pretty involved.

antonius stradivarius

I'd look at the instruments from Howard Core:

These are beautifully set up and have a lovely sound.
