    • Adult Beginner
Size: 4/4-size Color: Cut Out - Black
That's me, not the violin. Well, actually, it sorta is the violin, too. If you've priced a lot of musical instruments, you've noticed they fall into roughly three groups; professional models start in the low thousands and go up (up, up, up) from there. Student models can come in from a little over $1K to as low as a couple hundred bucks. And under a hundred bucks? That's a toy. The change is very abrupt. The differences between student and professional models need a professional (or a very good student) to really tell. A toy, on the other hand, is unplayable, and would be less than useless for a student (as it would at best teach them all the wrong things -- and more often than not, drive them away from the instrument with the misapprehension that the problem lies with THEM.) I'm saying all this because this is one of those rare birds that is priced like a toy but delivers a good solid student instrument. This isn't a thousand-dollar instrument. But it belongs among the $400-600 student instruments. And you are paying less. Now about that "adult beginner" thing. A child has more access to academic tutoring. To music rooms and private lessons in studios and all of that. They should get a standard acoustic violin with all the peccadillos attendant to that type. Where this ELECTRIC violin truly shines is with the adult beginner, the self-taught and the dilettante; in short, with people who want to be able to "give it a go" at a stringed instrument without losing the lease on their apartment due to the awful noises issuing from it. It isn't silent. It is, however, quiet. Quiet enough you can practice in a thin-walled apartment or an upstairs bedroom without anyone making a fuss. It is just loud enough on its own so you don't really need headphones. The other part of "adult beginner" is I am old and have messed around with a lot of music-related things over the years and I read a ton. So I knew better than to make a lot of first-timer buyer assumptions. For instance; it comes assembled (I hesitate to say "set up") but not tuned. Really, it should come with the bridge in a box and the strings in their packs, but never mind. As an experienced buyer of bargain instruments I didn't even bother tuning the strings it came with and dropped thirty bucks on a new set of Thomastik Alphayue's. I had no trouble with peg slippage (the reverse, actually), but then I'm a uke player and used to having to shove the pegs in to make them firm up. The electronics worked (sans headphones, which came out of the box with one dead channel already but who cares? I've got better headphones already). But that's not really fair to ask of me, because I'm an electronics tinkerer and as long as the pickup was okay I really didn't care if the electronics worked. The finish was nice and none of it came off on my hands, everything seemed straight and nothing has fallen off. In short, a fantastic instrument. A word of caution. I get the impression from other reviews that Cecilio's build quality is excellent but their quality control lacking. You might get a lemon. So box it back up and have them ship another. Because I got one with no issues I've been able to detect. Well, okay...the hairs on the bow are a wee bit ragged, but it is a starter bow anyhow, and a nice student-quality carbon fibre is only another thirty bucks or so. The two purchases I made within a few weeks of starting to play were a Snark tuner and a Resonance shoulder rest. The Snark works just fine clipped to the upper bout, which puts it at a comfortable viewing angle. So give it a good inspection, put some decent strings on it, and be prepared to add a few more bits and pieces to pimp the ride a little, and I think it will support the adult beginner for the first few years of learning to play a violin. ... show more

    • Totally worth the money
Size: 4/4-size Color: Cut Out - Black
I recently got back into violin playing after a 20 year hiatus. One of the biggest issues is that I often find myself wanting to practice, but not being able to for fear of disturbing the neighbors in my apartment complex. I think this violin is going to be a good solution to that problem. I intend to mostly just leave the batteries out and play it without any amplification. In the following video, that's what I'm doing, and I'm cranking down on it as loud as I can. It's audible, but still not very loud. With my other violin, I would definitely be waking up the neighbors, but I think this should be alright if I just sort of take it easy on the bow. I think if I play it with a heavy practice mute, it should be reasonable to practice at any hour. https://youtu.be/Xl56-oBnIKk Cons: The bow is pretty cheap. It's good enough for beginners, but if you are planning to play any rapid staccato, it's going to bounce out of control. A better bow would fix that. I tried the included bow once, and put it away. I can use it for a spare periodically when I send my normal bow in to get re-haired. The strings are pretty cheap. At some point, I'll probably replace them with Dominants. Amusingly, a set of Dominants costs about $50, so a substantial proportion of the cost of the instrument will then be in strings. The pegs are very slippery. You can fix that with either some rosin rubbed onto the parts of the peg that contact the peg box, or use some peg compound. (Which I think is just rosin in a liquid form so it's easier to apply.) Without the peg compound, the pegs will slip and the instrument will go out of tune while playing it. I had to replace one of the fine tuners because it was bent, and not turning easily. I had some spares, so this was easy. Replacement fine tuners are only a few dollars on Amazon. Also on the same note, when tuning up for the first time, make sure that the fine tuners are properly screwed in. There's a tuning screw, and a mounting screw below that. On mine, the mounting screws were loose, causing the instrument to go out of tune frequently. Pros: I get to practice my violin in my apartment at night. I think it sounds decent, but a bit more metallic than a real violin. Changing the strings will probably fix that. It more or less feels like a regular violin when you are playing it. The construction feels solid enough, so hopefully it will last. The price makes it a great place to start. A real student violin should cost $500-$1000, just to get one that isn't too hard to play and sounds semi-decent. I would definitely recommend that new players get an experienced violinist to help them set up the instrument for the first time, because although the instrument arrived in a mostly playable condition, I did have to do a lot of little things to make it play well. Nothing was difficult or expensive to correct, but if I hadn't already known how to do the repairs/modifications, it would have been frustrating. ... show more

    • Pretty happy novice
Size: 4/4-size Color: Cut Out - Black
Keep scrolling of you're looking for an impression from a seasoned player. I'm not one. I've played enough instruments to know if a sound is off though, and once I'd attended enough YouTube University to tune it (and hold it) I was pleasantly surprised to get a pretty clear note. I'm an apartment dweller, but really wanted to learn violin, so the "silent" grabbed by attention. It's not completely silent, it's clearly audible enough to tune by ear and practice with without headphones, BUT it's quiet enough that no one's complaining. Out of the whole kit, it looks like the production cost was all spent on the instrument. Barring the cheap but fully functional electrics, it looks good and has no defects marring playability. All of the tuning hardware does what it's supposed to do, with no issues. The bow is warped and doesn't have curve at all when it's slack, but it more or less functions. The headphones are a couple steps down from the bulk package headphones that public schools hand out with Chromebooks. The rosin more or less does what rosin does. The case is functional and looks decent, should hold up and protect the instrument from minor accidents. I have some Bose QC30 headphones that I love, good rosin is relatively cheap, and I'm enjoying the instrument enough that I'm already reading reviews on new bows. The verdict? As an older beginner who wanted to try it to see if he'd like it, but didn't want to resort to pawn shops and garage sales, I'm pretty stinking happy. It's good enough to get the point across, and cheap enough that it wouldn't have felt like a loss if I decided I don't like learning violin. ... show more
