It was shipped fast and arrived fast, good condition and works great. Great bargain for a good instrument.


4 out of 5 stars A good practice violin   February 12, 2010
J. Hendricks (Kalamazoo, MI United States)
I read the previous reviews and made all the suggested modification. The violin works well as a practice violin since it is quieter than my non-electric violin. The sound isn't as good. I am considering buying some effect pedals to change the sound a little and have a little more fun. I think it is definitely worth the little money it costs.


5 out of 5 stars What Fun   January 2, 2010
Sheryll Laurence (Clayton, CA United States)
This is great fun. Love practicing with the headphones on. It's a different experience from regular violin and is quieter for those around you who don't love your music as much as you do.

I received this for my birthday last year and was very excited to try it out. I am a percussionist by training, but thought to give a new instrument a try --- followed the instructions exactly, and no matter what I did, we could not hear the actual electronic violin. We even plugged it into an amp, thinking the headphones were glitchy, and nothing.

Had to send it back, and did not bother to send for a replacement. So disappointed.

I concur with a lot of the reviewers here who recommend upgrades. I've upgraded everything I could, and it's a decent practice violin, no doubt. The only problem is the headphone jack on mine distorts on the G string. Given the total cost with the upgrades, and the crappy headphone jack, I wonder if I wouldn't have been better off looking for something second hand for the same amount of money or a little bit more.

Edit, 2009-03-10
Something not many have mentioned, but which is proving more annoying even than the dicky headphone jack is that this thing has a weird shape. This makes attaching a shoulder rest difficult or impossible depending on the rest. Chin rests may also be difficult to adapt. I've modified a centered chin rest by grinding a channel off at an angle in order to mount it flush with the edge, and yet have it clear the tail. I have a Wolf shoulder rest secured with elastic bands, as well as a small bean bag similarly secured.

It is an interesting violin *for the price* but if you can afford something better, even second hand, go for it.

Final Edit 2009-03-20
There are a lot of cheap Chinese electric violins for sale now. My final take on this is if you're not going to get something better 2nd hand, then get one of the models that has a more normal violin shape, at least for the bottom half. This will make it easier to change the chin rest if you want, and make possible a greater variety of shoulder rests. If I were to re-rate this, given the variety of better shaped cheap electrics available now, I would give it only two stars.
