Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I have been playing violin for three years now and I felt it was time to take the plunge into the electric violin world. I was also looking for something relatively inexpensive since my main violin is on the higher end. This was the perfect choice.
Sound - Try as it might, it just can't replicate the sound of an acoustic violin (which I wasn't looking for anyway). It can get pretty close though and all in all the sound is nice. The pickup is good, not the best quality but it does its job pretty well. As for being silent, it is quieter than an acoustic with a mute, but not completely silent.
Construction/Look - The body is nice and solid unlike some of the cheap online instruments you can get. The finish is well done and the ebony pieces with mother of pearl inlays look rather nice. The inlays fall flush too, nothing sticking out at all. The pegs don't slip at all. The only thing I could find wrong with the construction was the bridge. It was a bit too high but that is a very easy fix. A little bit o sanding and its good to go.
Extras - It came with a bow, aux cable, headphones, case and light rosin.
- The rosin I put aside because I prefer dark rosin.
- The headphones are fairly cheap but they work well enough that I'll use them until they break. Don't expect an amazing sound quality.
- The aux cable is pretty standard and I had no issue with it.
- The case is actually pretty decent. It lacks the durability and quality of higher end cases, but it does what it is supposed to and protects your violin. The zippers on mine get stuck once and a while.
- The bow is not half bad either. The wood work and inlay are well done. I think the rest of the bow is brazilwood. The bow doesn't stick when tightening or losing it like cheaper bows.
I definitely recommend this if you are considering an electric violin and aren't looking to spend $800. You'll get more than you paid for and be very happy with it.
