I bought this for my daughter who plays violin as a second more fun instrument to play with. Instrument quality is quite decent, well painted and surely a looker and eye catcher. Unplugged sound is quite strong and even daughter's teacher said she is surprised over the sound. Plugged in sound is not really perfect, but for sure more than enough for upgrade some gigs you are dealing with. With a use of an EQ and while playing with some effects, you can get some really interesting sounds at the end. Considering what you get for 129€, is a real bargain for anyone, who wants to try the electric violin.
