Cecilio 4/4CEVN-1Y Solid Wood Yellow Maple Metallic Electric/Silent Violin with Ebony Fittings in Style 1 (Full Size)

The media could not be loaded. I love this violin! I have had this now for 2 days and I have played the heck out of it already. First, the build quality is superb. The woodwork is beautiful. The staining looks like a real violin. The bow is quite good as well. The case is nice for storing around the house.Now for the sound. I played it right out of the box with the factory strings, and it sounded incredible. It sounded pretty close to my more expensive violin. I have read reviews that said the tuning pegs didn’t hold well. Anyone who has played violin knows this can be an issue with any violin and there are products to help the pegs stick better. I personally have used wax in the past, but I didn’t even have to do that with this violin. And the fine tuners on all 4 strings make it even simpler to get accurate tuning. Mine was still in perfect tune when I took it out the second day. The electronics seem to be very good, sound quality for all 4 strings is good and consistent. There is a slight hum on mine when turned up loud, but not sure if this is from the violin or my cable or electronics, but in any case it is fairly soft. The sound is actually pretty good when not amplified too. But when running through an amp or recorder, add a little chorus and reverb and it sounds amazing.I just do not have anything bad to say about this violin. For less than $100 it is a great deal.

I bought this as a practice instrument so I would not to disturb the neighbors. It came ready to play right out of the box. The setup was fine, except for the strings. They had to be replaced. I put on some red labels, really cheap but made this violin come alive. I also had my music store owner professionally reshape and lower the bridge. But I had to have a quarter inch Jack to accept my wireless transmitter. So I ordered a black mono 1/4-in barrel Jack and 1/8 in mono patch cable from Amazon. I think I spent under $10 total. And as you can see I simply drilled a hole and mounted the barrel Jack, then cut the patch cable in half and soldered it to the barrel Jack. And presto, I have a great fiddle that I can take and play outside and keep as a backup. I play several instruments on stage, and I have to have my fiddle wireless. So the 1/4 inch Jack was the only option. Now I just reach over, grab it off the stand and kick off another song.I can't express enough on how great this violin plays. I've had so many of my fiddle playing friends pick up this instrument and fall in love with it. All you have to do is change the strings and have the bridge shaped and lowered. The electronics are good. I turn the volume control down when I put it back on it's stand. I love the fact that it has a tone control. I need to keep it toned down to about two or three because of the red label strings are very bright. It would be great with perlon core strings. The fine turners are larger and easier for me to dial it in quickly. I really like these fine turners. The bow is okay, it's good enough for practice. It takes rosin well. It came with some good rosin and a cleaning cloth. The case is well built, sturdy and light. This is a great violin package. I believe every player needs one of these for practice. In the motel room, nobody even can hear you next door. Please understand that violin shops are trying to sell violins. They will be the first to tell you that these packages are not worth the money. They are wrong, they are definitely worth the money. You will have one of the best practice instruments and backup instruments. As for tone, it will not replace my acoustic electric. But I will not take my acoustic electric out in harsh weather conditions. If this gets trashed or stolen, it can be easily replaced. I hope my experience with this violin helps.

For the price it is a very good instrument. Considering what a basic acoustic violin costs it is really a bargain. The playability is nice according to my daughter. The finish is not the best job but acceptable for the price point. I have it running through a guitar amp and it gives a solid sound. The headphones are dollar store quality but don't affect the violin.
