1. This violin is perfect for a 10 year old just starting to take lessons. The bridge needed to be shaved so that was not convenient. The carrying case is the best. It is light weight also perfect for a 10 year old.



2. This violin was very nice for the price. However, it came missing a fine tuning screw and it took a couple of weeks of emailing the maufacturer to get resolution. WIthout it, I would have had to either send it back or have it repaired locally at a cost of about $25 - a lot when the item only cost $69.00!

1. Ok so this is what you do:
   1. get some planetary geared pegs, they exist
   2. get a real tailpiece not plastic, you will
   not need fine tuners with the geared pegs,
   (by the way these geared pegs are for
   violins and they drop the weight of adding
   fine tuners, plus slipping pegs suck)
   3. you get a nice bridge and sand it down to a
   medium height
   4. this is optional, you either sport for a
   luthier to add frets to a real fretboard or
   you add a "fiddle fretter"
   
   Then you will have a fairly awesome/cheap electric fiddle. I play the bass and crossed over not too long ago with this setup, you want to get into those screaming octaves with some serious hoorah this is the way to start. Of course for me the bass is still my first love, but even an electric guitar I've passed over numerous times..... this thing fits the bill.



2. I bought this inexpensive electric violin as a practice instrument and to keep my kids away from my good violin. Here's the verdict:
   
   PROs -- It is reasonably well made (sturdy) with pretty good electronics. The bow is surprisingly well made and nicely balanced. I use it with my good acoustic violin.
   
   CONs -- The set-up is awful. The bridge was not even notched to accept the strings, nor was it well shaped. I took care of that pretty quickly. It comes pre-strung with really poor quality strings. The E string could not even be brought up to pitch before the ball-end popped off the windings. The tailpiece is cheap and not well placed. The tuners are cheap, but usable with fine tuners. Worst of all, the nut (molded into the fingerboard) is notched unevenly, such that the strings are unevenly spaced and too close together for double notes with one string open (especially between the G and D strings). Plus, the string height at the nut is unacceptable.
   
   So, if you purchase this instrument and want to actually play it, you need to include the cost of new tuners, new tailpiece, new strings, and a new nut. Plan on at least another $60 if you are doing the work yourself. Replacing the nut requires sawing off the old molded nut and replacing it with a real ebony nut which is properly notched and finished. If you are not used to working on violins, this may not be your wisest buy. If you are a tinkerer like me, it is a really inexpensive way to get a knockaround violin that has electronic punch.



3. What a waste of money. It was so cheaply constructed. A string snapped as soon as I went to tighten it. There was no sound after all things were plugged in. It came with no directions so we weren't even sure we were doing it right. We ended up sending it back and it took weeks to get our money refunded.



4. I'm a brand new violin player with a whole three days experience, and I have to say it is amazing! I didn't really expect all that much because of the price, but this thing sounds really good. I really like that the bow is real wood and not plastic or anything. Now this is a plastic violin with plastic pegs, but this doesn't affect the sound at all. The pegs slip a little bit making it hard to keep the strings in tune, but I like the practice as a new player. Also the fact that this is electric helps me keep from bothering my roommates. If you are just starting out, this is the violin for you. It will allow you to make a decent sound and you won't have to worry about it getting damaged and broken like a comparably priced wooden violin would. I can't say enough good things about this and I recommend you go with the lowest priced vendor because they also set up the bridge and stuff for free. Hope that helps!



5. Setup requires a little paitence, but after a new tailpiece (wood, with fine tuners), a better set of strings, and some non-slip peg "glue" this instrument ROCKS. This is a great instrumet for a beginner to the violin (though perhaps not music). I spent about 50 extra dollars, and now I've got a great violin that I can practice on withought bothering my roomantes.
   
   The fingerboard is a little off center, but it's off center the right direction, and shouldn't affect playing too much. I had the bridge fly at me a few times (the back of the bridge should be at a 45 degree angle) the first time I tried to tune the new strings, but they relax after a while, and if you get the no-slip peg drops you adjust everything to a lesser extent.
   
   The pegs will slip, the strings it comes with are terrible, and the tailpiece is cheap but all of that is worth fixing for such a cool, relatively cheap, instrument.

1. blue violin is the best green cello ive ever played. the purple bass has a beutiful sound and plays like meeko!
   of course how would i know seeing as how ive never bouht or played it or seeeeeeeen it!



2. I liked it a lot. The violin was just the way I thought it would be. After installing my bridge, I realized that a very novice Violin player wouldnt know how to put the bridge on. I would think they would put some kind of directions in there. All in all though the bow took very little Rosin to play, it has a pretty amazing sound quality for such a low priced violin. I like it and I think it will be great to continue my ventures to further my violin playing.



3. The violin really looks good. Only if it sounded as good as it looks. When hooked to an amp and turned up it has some static type noise. Works OK on headset.



4. Item was shipped as promised very quickly! This is a place I would order from again!



5. The first time my son tried to use it, it came apart and will be too expensive to fix. I had bought it early as a gift and so the defect was noticed too late for returning. Also, it was the wrong size.

1. Perfect for my 11 year old. No complaint. A friend of mine lent us his $2000 violin and after tuning this one, it sounds almost just as good as my friend's violin side by side.

1. Good product considering the price. One of the tuning pegs would not stay, the string would never tighten completely. Within a week the peg broke while we were trying to get it to stay. However, we (the parents) are not experienced with violins and accept the possibility that we may not have been interpreting the directions correctly. Also, we did not attempt to contact the seller for a replacement, so I cannot comment on how they might respond to such a request. The remainder of the pegs work fine. The one major complaint I have is that the violin took a very long time to arrive; they did announce that there may be a delay, hopefully this was just a temporary problem.

1. Great value! My grand daughter loves it. Nobody can believe the cost of this violin.



2. Interested in violin but don't want to invest a lot just yet? Try out this full-size inexpensive instrument. I'm not an expert on violins but I do know you can get it in tune, keep it in tune, and play it as you would expect of any violin. I suspect for solo or professional use you are going to want something else.
   
   I recommend this instrument to persons who think they might be interested in the violin, but are not ready to invest in a professional quality piece just yet.



3. While the product itself will do for a beginner, I was really disappointed that upon arrival, I discovered that the bridge for all the springs needed to be assembled by sandpaper and/or tightening of the strings into grooves before tightening the strings. To me this violin will do for the basics, but that bridge assembly required to me needed to be in the product description, esp. when shipping costs if more than 25% the cost of the product. While this product is great at this cost, I don't know if I would have purchased it with alternatives if I had known beforehand about the bridge.
