I purchased this model for the low cost and manufacturer. Overall a nice piece with the fine tuning a brand new model needs. This is a powerful and light Violin with a couple pieces added on. I think anyone looking to train up or have a decent instrument for the jam might be interested in this.It will need to be worked on at a local music shop if you don't have the means to fine tune your new instrument.
I had to file out the peg box to allow the pegs full depth. Small holes had to be drilled back on the peg so the string ends would not hit the peg box.You will want to purchase "Peg Drops" to hold the plastic pegs in the fiberglass peg box. I followed some advice on lowering my bridge height, and sanding the bridge feet to contact the pickup perfectly using a flashlight to check for gaps.
After a few hours the chin rest worked itself off the end. The string post applies upward pressure on the chin rest, and the only way I found to hold it still was to:
1.Drill a slanted hole in line with the right side of the chin rest clamp 2. Take a piece of wire and sheath it. 3. place sheathed part of wire against the Violin body and twist the ends together until it held the chin rest in place, and fold out of the way.
In addition to "Peg drops", you will want to buy a new "Rosin", and a "shoulder rest" keeping in mind the area you have to put a shoulder pad on is not very wide with the design. I received 2 rosin cakes completely dried out and worthless. You may want to upgrade your strings, and you will definitely want to make sure they are wound correctly straight to the notch and no overlap.

4/4 Violin
Strings, 1 set
Bridge
Bow
Rosin (dried out?)

The violin didnt work at all. The chip was sticking into the battarie compartment and when I tryed to take the battarie out the whole back of the violin almost came off. The collor of the violin is varry diffrent from the picture too. I DID get a full refund back though so I'm varry happy about that.Low rating because when plugging it in the electric part does not work. I have tried everything I can to fix it but still does not work the way it is described. Rosin dried out and popped the E barely tuning it.Want Barcelona Beginner Series Electric Violin with Carrying Case and Accessories - White Discount?
I don't know how the violin plays yet because i bought this for my girlfriend. It did not come with a hard case but a soft case, the bow is extremely cheaply made. Also like others I got the rosin as hard as a rock. The headphones are junk. They hardly work at all due to a short in the plug. The smallest string snapped as when I tried to put the bridge on even though it had not yet been tensioned but was still very loose. Now as for the quality of the violin itself I can't say yet due to the fact I don't play the violin. I can say that the violin itself is not made very well. Just pay the extra money and get a good one.
