Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)For the price, I wasn't expecting much. But this violin is of worse quality than others I've bought for half the price.
The materials are obviously extremely cheap; glitter paint and plastic. There are even blotches of bare surface where the paint wasn't fully applied! The peg holes are too small, and the pegs either stick tight or slip horribly. By the time you finish tuning your fourth string, the first you tuned will already be flat!
The bow is also of low quality. The wood I can not identify, but it's roughly carved, too flimsy, and the hairs are too loose. The accessories are also bare-bones, including dried out and cracked rosin, and the cheapest disposable ear buds imaginable.
I bought this to be a "silent" practice violin. I realized it wouldn't be completely silent, but I'm disappointed to find it's nearly as loud unplugged as my acoustic violins are with a heavy mute. I won't be using this to practice late at night as I had hoped.
There are a few positives. For the price, the sound quality of the electronics are fair. The bridge is an appropriate size for the instrument (although I did have to put in my own notches). It's nice to have a normal violin shape to attach a shoulder rest, my own chin rest, etc. The case is cheap but protects very well.
Overall, this violin isn't worth half of what I paid for it. I'm going to work a bit with the pegs, use some peg oil, and try to get the feel of this new instrument (using my own bow, though). But I have a feeling that I'm going to get fed up with it pretty fast and will be returning it shortly. Very disappointed.
