Full Size 4/4
I have to admit, I did not expect much based on the price but this particular violin has turned out to be one of my favorites in my collection of electric instruments. I was really surprised at the way it hold its tune and it also came with a pretty nice brazilian hardwood bow. The neck makes it a little easier to reach the higher positions but the sound really impressed me when it came time to plug into an amp. This is a fun violin. I would recommend it for anyone who loves to play violin and is looking for an electric starter to experiment with some new sounds. Can’t beat the price and the sound will convince even the most diehard skeptics, like me.

Ok to start with
I do not know violins very well, but I do play bagpipes at the more advanced level of skill so I know that when you go to buy an instrument, you can’t buy one from just anywhere and expect it to last your entire musical career. I want to learn to play so I bought this violin knowing that I would get what I paid for it. The headphone jack seems to have broken (by the second day) so now I can only get sound out of one side of my headphones (if any sound at all because sometimes there’s not). I understand that this probably isn’t the best quality violin out there, but it was cheap and I know that as I get better, I’ll have to upgrade my instrument. So to make a long story short (providing that you’ll still be able to hear yourself play) this is a good buy for beginners, but don’t get too attached to it.

OK only for ’silent’ practice
I have been playing various classic violins for 7+ years as my hobby and my sisters are indeed professional violinist and cellists. As a result, I know what sounds good violins can produce and what to expect when I pay $90 for a violin. This electric violin meets my expectation meaning that it barely produces a violin-like sound without anything related to beauty in it. So, don’t expect any thing about sound.

However, considering its low price tag, this product is OK as a ’silent’ practice violin. It means you can play this violin for silent practices as unplugged. You don’t want to play this violin for a real performance even in front of your family.

Other misc things:
1) A decent bow comes together. This is nice.
2) Bridge is quite high. But OK because fingerboard is also high.
3) New pegs might not be necessary. My pegs were OK.
4) Get three fine tuners (one comes by default) and put each on every string. You need them.
5) Get a new rosin. The one which comes with the violin is just horrible.
6) Get a new shoulder rest. This is a must.

In a summary, this is a good investment for silent practices. If you are looking for a decent electric violin that you can also play in front of audience, try SV-XXX from Yamaha.
