This is a beautifully made product, and it helps with my son's practicing the violin while my daughter practices as well. They can each hear their own music while practicing at the same time. Highly recommend this as a practice violin!I bought this violin on a lark. I had always wanted to play the violin, but I needed a soundproof solution due to the thin walls of my condo. I thought a cheap, knockabout electric violin would be just the ticket.The package arrived in good condition. When I pulled it out for the first time, the bow was ragged, with flyaway hairs pulling from the strand. I rosined it up, and the bow grew shaggier. I figured that it wouldn't make too much of a difference. Besides, I could replace the bow.
At first glance, the electric violin looks very nice. It produced sound easily, and I was able to touch each string singly. As I was trying to tune the strings, however, I noticed how loose the pegs were.
The peg for the G string would hardly turn. I pushed it in, and as it seemed to be holding, trying to pitch the string higher. Suddenly, the string snapped. I tried to tune another string, but again, the peg was loose, and while tuning, the same thing happened to the D string: snap!
Luckily I had some extra strings. As I twisted the peg to restring the violin, the peg fell completely out of its socket. I tried to push it back in, but it didn't seem to go to the proper place. The violin was falling apart, and I hadn't even managed a single song.
Once more, I valiantly tried to tune the violin, restringing and twisting the loose pegs. There was another snap, and the bridge flew off of the violin's body. I tried to replace it. All I wanted to do was try and play something from the songbook I'd borrowed from the library! But this was turning into a comedy of errors. I tried to patch things up one more time, and the fine tuner for the G string suddenly feel away, loose and misplaced.
I gave up and returned the violin, frustrated and fiddleness.Dislike: It isn't completely silent with the headphones plugged in. (Ya, I know, that really isn't possible, but still dissapointing)
Like: Good sound, daughter loves it.
