Review: Great way to explore the world of electric violins! - Very good and practical for money! Out of the box, the violin was already strung. I do recommend buying the peg drops as some other people have recommended before; Upon tuning the violin, the pegs did initially have some slippage, however, after applying peg drops, they stabilized and the violin was playable with no further repair. The violin without any amplification sounds like a normal violin with a steel mute applied (which means more muffled if you've never heard one) which, in my condo, make's it good for practicing 24/7 without worrying about neighbors noticing. I did find, if you put headphones into the violin directly, the sound it initially makes is a rather plain sound; to fix this I put it through my tube amplifier, and PUT REVERB on both the violin (since it has a reverb setting) and the amp; this made the violin sound much more natural and better. With proper amp settings, in my opinion; this violin under $200 sounded better then what looked like way more expensive electric violins that I saw at a high school electric violin concert, that in my opinion, wern't using ideal settings. You can make this violin sound however you want with a good amp; it can sound like a regular violin that is simply amplified, or you can go for the distorted guitar sound which sounds good too with the right settings! This violin overall looks very nice too, it has a fine paint job. The bow; overall good; the horsehairs seem of decent quality, and the wood bow came without being warpped or having significant problem's, the only thing I don't like about it, is in the middle of it, if you try to bounce it (spicatto) on the string (which you usually want closer to the frog for this) it the wood part of the bow will sometimes make contact with the horsehair/string of the violin, and I've tightened it so much I'm afraid I will break it if I tighten it more. This is not a major problem, the bow is still good for practice and I've even used it in some preformances before. The case is awesome; very light but still has a semi-solid- body to protect the instrument, and also has back straps which makes carrying it more convienent. It also came with rosin which is a plus. the only not so good components were A; the headphones; they remind me of disposable airline headphones. B. the cable if I remember right broke after some use; which is no big deal just buy a new one for like 8 bucks online. I DO reccomend getting the shoulder rest with this violin, because it is not as thick as a normal violin; it still has the normal edges/shape of a violin, so the shoulder rest I bought fit great with it! OVERALL: great instrument with great value; this is good for A. practicing at home silently/with headphones, B. amplified preformances C. an affordable way to learn violin (though electrics you don't learn tone as well, I might suggust trying another cecilio normal violin for a beginner)
Review: Great value for a beginner. - I will start this off by saying I have recently started learning to play the violin, so this review is from a less experienced player, though I do have other musical knowledge. I have a housemate, so I chose the electric as to try not to be disturbing while practicing. I was initially impressed with what this provided for the price. I know there are packages that can be had even cheaper, though not something I would want to consider playing. As several other reviews have stated, the headphones that come in the package are bad. I mean worse than early 90's Sony Walkman headphones. Those got trashed immediately, as I had also ordered a pair of Sennheiser HD 419 headphones. The very next thing I did was take the violin to a quality local shop to have the strings replaced, which cost me another ~$35. At this point I'm at about $215 total investment, not including tax. At some point I will likely get a better bow as well, delegating the one that came with it as a spare. The instrument itself. It feels solid, not exactly excellent quality, but it doesn't feel like it's going fall to pieces if I set it down or play it wrong. My instructor commented that it seems to be of a better quality than the Cecilio acoustic violins. I do not believe I have had issues with the pegs slipping as I heard in some other reviews. I say I do not believe so as at this point it could still be the new strings stretching. You do have to push in on the pegs when tuning for them to stick. I have peg drops in case, though. Sound: It is a little louder than I was first expecting, though not extremely so. If you're looking for a comparison it is definitely louder than an electric guitar without an amp, but about half as loud as an acoustic violin, sorry I don't have a sound meter handy. I could avoid disturbing others in the house if I have a movie or music going. It has a cheap built-in amplifier with a 3.5mm jack so you can connect headphones directly into it without the need for an external amp. I don't notice static/white noise with the headphones. Although the overall sound quality could be better, it is much better than I was expecting. The case seems solidly built for a soft case. The violin fits well along with a shoulder rest (my instructor is one that does promote the use of a shoulder rest), and can hold 2 bows. The compartment at the top of the case fits the rosin and my tuner well. What can I say, it seems like your typical irigid soft case, not as roomy as some but good for the price. Overall I will give it 4 stars; Although it is not a superb product, it is well worth it for the money. I have spent an additional $75 for decent headphones and new strings, the rest can be upgraded here and there; bow, case, and eventually a new violin once I'm sure I will stick with it. I don't count the tuner in the cost as you can download a tuner app for your smartphone/tablet, having a stand-alone tuner is personal preference.
