Lastly, and maybe this is because I'm used to an old rich sounding violin, the sound the violin produces is mediocre at best

The stings make enough sound to hear, but if there's someone in the next room, they won't hear you playing

The sound is quiet enough to play without much of any noise escaping the room

You can hook this violin into your standard amplifier and it will produce a very nice sound

so I wanted something with a good sound but wouldnt wake the baby in the next room

Good sound when amped, only problems is that the tuning pegs don't hold very well, causing a string to go flat quickly after tuning it.

The sound is fair, but with some processing, it can sound fairly good.

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

The three working strings sound great, the g string arrived damaged

Sound was terrible

And the sound was pretty nice (but this same pro player gave me a set of strings they don't like, which was more expensive than this instrument, so I don't know how it sounds with stock strings).For the price, quality is very decent and this can make a very decent beginners instrument

Purchased for my daughter and this electric violin is great sounding and a great foundation for the price

It has a pitch that is to hard describe, but I feel it has a sound that is not just sharp and bitty like a fiddle, but it can be setup with a quiet, mellow or darker sound.

A decent bow will run you about $30-$40, which is well worth it when starting out as a good bow can mean the difference between a nice clean sound and the sound of two cats dying

great sound

Splurging on rosin has allowed me to avoid having the bow making weird noncommittal crunchy sounds when I am being super timid about playing loud (which is a problem that I should address as well, but I'll do so separately)

I took it to my local violin shop and for $137 I got some fairly decent pegs and now the tune is absolutely perfect sounding just as good as my faithful acoustic

I much prefer the sound with a mute as it takes the scratchy and tinny sounds away.
