For what it is, and by that I mean, for what I payed for it, I think this is a great deal

Does not have great sound, but great deal for the full set-up.

If you're looking for an electric violin that won't cost you and arm and a leg, even with the repair work, this is a pretty good deal

If I consider the value of just those three pieces, I think its still a pretty good deal.

In truth, for a beginner, this violin seems like a great deal, but only if it arrived in new and undamaged.

But good deal for the price

A great deal for the price.

Great deal for the money and surprisingly well built

This is an amazing deal

The A string and E string fine tuners were really loose and I had to reset them

The strings really are the core of an instrument; the rest is just amplification and reverb, and even these are sold separately on an electric instrument.(Incidentally, be sure to put the little parchment tone-filter from the nice new E string so that it sits on the bridge, or the wire will slice through it over time, like an ultra-slow-motion cheese-cutter

for the money this a good practice violin, everything works as it should.

My biggest complaint is that I've never been able to get as much volume as I'd like out of the electronics, whether connected to headphones or an amplifier.
