Vangoa Electric Violin Full Size 4/4, Black Silent Electric Violin, Solid Wood Metallic Electric Fiddle with Ebony Fittings, Beginner Kit for Adults Teens

I just received this today and set it up. It was easy to tune and play. A notice a lot of the negative reviews seem to come from people who have never tuned a violin before. If you have ever put strings on and tuned a violin, this one will be straightforward. If you haven't watch some videos on YouTube about how to put on strings, bridges and tune a violin.For the 100 dollars you really get a complete package of cheap stuff. I bought this to take to a fiddle jam session and play more quietly than with my real violin as I am still learning the skill. I can also just leave this out in my living room to pick up and play more readily. My dog thanks me for getting this more quiet version of my chosen instrument. So do my ears.Couple of points. While everything does work, I would say the bow is pretty awful. It can work but my cheap carbon fiber bow works waaaay better. Get you a nicer bow. Same with the strings. They work but spend the dollars for a better set. The rosin works just fine if you use some sandpaper to scrape it up first and the headsets are way better than in the pictures I see on here. They also play loudly enough. The tuner works great and so does the shoulder rest. The case will also work just fine for most of us.The violin comes set up with pretty high action so if this is going to be your only instrument you will probably wanna upgrade the bridge too and get the action set a bit lower. I may end up doing this some day but the action is playable as it is so maybe not.Overall I am very impressed (and stoked) with this purchase given how cheap it was. It far exceeded my expectations.

This violin is great for its price! The bridge came uninstalled but it was easy to install after watching a couple of video tutorials. I’ve played violin for 10 years and took a 5 year break, decided to pick it up again so I bought this one. It comes with everything you need— a battery, shoulder pad, extra set of strings, a bow, rosin, cable for amp (or mic?), and cheap headphones, all in a violin case. The sound is decent. Definitely not silent, even when the power is off. The sound volume is equivalent to playing a regular wooden violin with a mute on it. When you plug in the headphones, the sound still comes out from the strings itself, but it will also play into the headphones at the volume you set it at. The sound quality from the headphones is sub-par, but it might just be because the headphones are cheap (similar to airplane earphones, you’ll get that flat/monotone sound quality). Haven’t tried it with better headphones to compare.My biggest complaint is that the bridge did not come with pre-marked divets for you to evenly space your strings. It was definitely marked with pencil or something, but it was totally off/uneven. Like, 2 close lines on the left and then 2 super-spaced-out faintly-marked lines on the far right.Overall, this is a great instrument. I would recommend for anyone who isn’t SUPER serious about becoming a professional violinist, and is just looking for a decent electric violin to practice with.Also, bonus points for the subtle shimmery black glitter detail of the body. Really makes the violin special (other than the fact that it’s an electric-freakin-violin!)

The pickup/pre amp does not work. It lights up, you can hear the finals pop when powering it on, turning either knob crackles massively..... No sound from violin out of the line out, or the headphone jack.I am not sure what the point of an electric violin with a non functional pickup and preamp is.They obviously don't have a system in place to make sure it actually works, other people have mentioned the same issue. There is no way anyone in "quality control" could miss that the preamp doesn't have any sound output and the knobs crackle terribly....The build quality of the Violin body really isn't that bad for what you pay for it.The bow isn't that bad.The bridge was marked completely wrong for string locations but is fitted about right, height and curve wise.I plugged the headphones that came with this into my mixer. The sound quality is horrible.The rosin has a lot of cracks in it, but is still usable.The strings that come with it are still stretching, so it needs tuned a lot.The tuning pegs seem to be staying in place, but they needed set in/rosined.Yes, it is a 99 dollar violin....One would think that a company out to sell inexpensive musical instruments would check to see if they actually worked... I guess not thou.... I doubt they care either....The is my first, and last, Vangoa product.
