Yamaha SV-130 Concert Select Silent Electric Candy Apple Red 4/4 Violin Outfit including a Johnson String Young Artist Carbon Composite Bow & Yamaha Gray Gig Bag Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Since there were no comments posted up i'll be the first.
The SV-130 violin can be played with earphones or even with an amp.
It has a very rich sound and i personally recomend it for intermediate violin players.
It came perfectly packaged nicely, however my country had tax for musical instrument of 10% so to any of you who are thinking of purchasing this instrument please check your country's taxes.
The strings arent that bad but the G string broke when I was tuning it. I would recomend a full set restring, and the pegs wouldnt hold too well.
The bow seems pretty descent too. The only problematic part about this violin is the Gig Bag provided. PLEASE DO NOT GO FOR THE GIG BAG. Just buy the violin. The bag does not fit the violin properly and the violin has to be inverted in order to be inserted into the bag.
The reason i rated it 4 stars and not 5 is mainly because of the bag and strings. Other than that, it is an awesome buy. Furthermore it's price is also reasonable. For sound quality as such, 700 dollars is a very low sum to pay.

Barcus-Berry Full Size 4/4 European Made Acoustic Electric Violin Outfit - Natural Color Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Sounds good for a cheaply made violin. More bright though I would prefer a darker sound. I like how there is a volume knob on top of the violin. There's a Yamaha electric violin where the knob is on the bottom and is unreachable if you're in playing position. The mechanics work very well. It doesn't feed back. Not bad for the price. The case it comes with broke right away. It's absolutely a piece of junk as is the bow. I immediately changed the strings to Dominant strings which made it sound better.
If you need an electric violin and don't have the money to get a good one, this violin gets the job done. Not the best, but what do you expect for the price?

"The Band" - Violin Pickup by Headway Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I'm in a band and use this for gigs. It's perfect for the person who doesn't want to commit to scratching up their violin or committing to the more permanant pickup solution. I like it because it highlights the quality sound of my violin with no feedback. It is small and compact and folds away nicely in my violin case. What I like is that it's portable and I can use it with any of my violins. It's definately worth every penny :-)

The Band Piezo Contact Violin Pickup offers far greater volume levels before feedback, compared to mikes. Headway's "The Band" further cuts feedback, bowing noise, body noise and excessive treble by acoustic filter. The unique "Band" speeds sound checks and minimises cluttersome and unreliable equipment needed to set up and transport but most importantly, it offers increased headroom (volume) before feedback, enabling problem free monitoring at modest to high volumes. Headway pickups are currently in use by many professional musicians including Peter Knight (Steeleye Span), Tom Leary (Feast of Fiddles) and Crystal (Canadian Nashville Session Musician).

LR Baggs Violin Pickup Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This thing is fantastic. It is way better than your run-of-the-mill pickup; for one thing it can't fall out of the bridge like most do occasionally, it doesn't mute the sound, and I never get any feedback. I originally intended to put this bridge on my nice violin (for classical) and have it be an all-purpose instrument; however, my luthier advised against this, saying the thicker bridge slightly changes the tone of your violin. I therefore opted to get a cheaper "show" violin to install it on to use with my band. Once electrified, you can't really tell the difference anyway. I use it with the L.R. Baggs Acoustic DI, and couldn't be happier!

Click Here to see more reviews about: LR Baggs Violin Pickup

The LR Baggs Violin Pickup features a miniature vibration transducer cast right into the bridge. The transducer is designed to accept the tone-rich left/right movement of the bridge, reject feedback, eliminate scratchy nasal sounds, and trace the natural sound of the instrument. The LR Baggs Violin Pickup has set the standard since its inception over a decade ago, and it is the top choice of more top pros including Alison Krauss, Michael Doucet, Darol Anger, and Jean-Luc Ponty, than any other pickup. The pickup is a miniature vibration transducer cast directly into an Aubert no.7 Mirecourt maple bridge for maximum sensitivity and signal transfer. As an integral part of the bridge, it effortlessly captures the instrument's inherent dynamics. Furthermore, it's selective admittance pattern is aligned so that the signal is generated as the bridge moves in a left-right motion (in response to the string vibrations). The transducer also rejects any impulse directed to the plane of the bridge, minimizing annoying finger squeaks, body noise and feedback. The L.R. Baggs Violin Pickup also features unprecedentedly consistent performance, and will not affect the tone of your favorite violin. Each pickup is quality tested and carries a one year warranty.

Music Basics Violin Complete Kit with Free Tuner - Pink 1/2 Size (VLN-12-Pink 1/2) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this violin for my daughter. I don't know anything about violins but wanted to make it more interesting more my daughter to learn the instrument so decided to go with the color she picked. And she loved it !! Our teacher said this violin plays exactly the same as a regular violin and wished color violin was available when he was learning it. He has also recommended his other students to get them in black, blue, etc. I would recommend the violin to any child who is starting to learn the instrument. Once my daughter get better and by the time she gets to the full 4/4 size, I will upgrade to a regular natural color violin for her. Once thing, the violin bow that comes with this violin is still regular natural color. It is not available with different colors.

Cecilio CEVN-1BL 4/4 Full Size Electric Silent Violin w/ Solidwood Ebony Fitted in Blue Metallic Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this violin so I could practice quietly in my new apartment, since I have neighbors on both sides. It does the trick! I would never use it for performance, simply because the sound quality isn't awesome, but it is perfect or practicing. The headphones are absolute junk, so I don't use those, but I use my bose headphones. The strings understandably stretched quite a bit at first, so it was hard to keep it in tune, but after about 3 days, we were good to go with just minor adjustments. I like the fact that I can use my regular shoulder rest with it. My fingers did turn a little black from the fingerboard or strings at first, but that is minor and didn't last. Overall, I feel that I got quite a bargain, but again, it is perfect for practice but not at all a performance instrument.

Cecilio CEVN-2BK 4/4 Full Size Electric Silent Violin w/ Solidwood Ebony Fitted in Black Metallic Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)i was looking for an electric violin to practice with and chose this one. i bought it off of a different site but it was the same outfit. i played violin for about 4 years when i was in elementary school, and have only been playing for a month now after deciding to play again.
the first thing i noticed was that the paint has a subtle glitter added to it, which i loved. you can't really tell in the pics.
i compared the level of loudness with the acoustic violin i have. when i put a brass mute on that one, the sound is slightly louder than this electric one. so if you wanted to make the sound even quieter, you could put a mute on this one as well and it's very silent.
the headphones are super cheap-feeling and i wouldn't even use it for a backup b/c it's so flimsy and doesn't fit on the ears correctly. the sound through the headphones (i used my own) was loud and clear.
the bow is a bit heavier at the frog than my other bow for the acoustic.
i don't know anything about rosins or the bridge, so these seem fine to me.
the pegs turned ok for me, and if it slips, i chalk up the pegs with graphite.
the shoulder area gets uncomfortable so i do use a shoulder rest w/this violin (i don't use one with my acoustic).
the case is light, which i like, and it has the 2 straps in the back to carry it like a backpack. it also has a handle loop on the back (as well as on the side, as you can see in the pic). you can barely fit 8.5"x11" sheets of paper in the pocket but i still have to fold my violin books in half for it to fit inside.
the weight of the violin is different from an acoustic in that it's a bit unbalanced and feels heavy towards the chinrest but i've gotten used to it. i just wanted something that was quiet and this one fits the bill and it looks nice w/o being too crazy-looking... it still keeps the classic shape and would look almost like a work of art when i hang it on my wall.

Cecilio CVN-Black 4/4 (Full Size) Ebony Fitted Orchestra Black Violin with Hard Case Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I personally was looking for a cheap violin that I could fiddle (no pun intended) around with - basically learning how to hold the thing, basic notes, how to tune/restring it, etc. I got my wish with this violin. It's obviously not too well-made, and the material feels cheap, but it should come as no surprise for the price.
It likes to go out of tune too easily, and the strings seem to break without much pressure applied, so be wary if you're buying this for someone who doesn't know the first thing about a violin and its care. Honestly, I see similar violins (if not the exact same one) elsewhere for half the price here, so take that into consideration as well.

Music Basics Electric Violin Complete Kit with Free Tuner - Black 4/4 Full Size (VLN-E10-Black 4/4) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this because it was the cheapest I could find. I've never played violin before so I wasn't sure if it was going to be something that I would stay interested in. That way it wouldn't be a big waste of money if I decided I didn't want it anymore.
If you are a biginner or a young kid I would recommend this as a starter. It's cheap so you get what you pay for but it works. I've had no problems with it. If you are somewhat decent at playing I'd go with a better, higher quality violin though.
