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

Surpris de la qualité sonore avec de bonnes cordes ( que j'ai changées ) . En mode non amplifié avec seulement les écouteurs c'est parfait pour la pratique , très satisfait je recommande...

Surprenante qualité pour un violon électrique de base pour la pratique.

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.

I recently purchased this electric violin despite the mixed reviews, swayed by reports of exceptional customer service from the seller. However, my experience with customer service was quite the opposite; Amazon made several attempts to resolve issues, but the seller was unresponsive. Upon receiving the violin, several manufacturing defects were immediately apparent. While tuning was manageable, the action – the distance between the fingerboard and the strings – was excessively high. Despite having developed callouses from playing both the acoustic guitar and violin, playing this instrument was painfully uncomfortable due to this high action. The sound quality was equally disappointing. Given that it's described as an economical option, I expected at least an average level of sound quality. Unfortunately, even when using high-quality Sony headphones, there was a constant flapping noise, which was incredibly distracting and diminished the playing experience. If you're considering this violin for quiet practice, be aware that it might actually deter you from regular practice due to its poor sound quality. Moreover, if you're looking for a 'silent' practice option, this violin is only as quiet as an acoustic violin fitted with a mute. In retrospect, it would be wiser to save up for a better quality electric violin or continue renting until you can afford a satisfactory instrument. The level of disappointment from both the product and the customer service has been substantial. Overall: This purchase did not meet my expectations for an instrument that should inspire, not discourage, practice.

I read most of the reviews, positive and negative, before deciding to buy this item. So my decision to purchase it was an informed one. First impressions on unpacking it were that it was well-packed and made excellent use of space for all the accessories, including rosin and tuner. The instrument came with the strings under tension so that you only needed to put the bridge in place and raise it up. That worked fairly well. I play violin/fiddle, and am used to tuning instruments. The tuner is adequate, but the back wouldn't stay on so I had to wrap it in clear tape. Some reviews mentioned that the bridge was not properly notched for string placement, if it was notched at all. The bridge coming with the instrument was properly notched for string placement, and nicely arched so I had no problems adjusting to it in my playing. The bridge comes with flat feet which fit nicely into a little box on the body. In taking strings off and putting them on and tuning them, I had the bridge fall forward with a loud and surprising thud because I didn't keep adjusting it to be vertical. Now that I'm aware of this little quirk it shouldn't happen again. The bow also came under tension, so that it looked good when you first took it out of the case. (The case is quite nice, BTW.). Being under tension, however light, was not a good idea as the tip was slightly warped. I've played worse bows, so this bow will be used as a last resort. If you are a beginning violinist, as soon as you can afford it buy an inexpensive name-brand carbon-fiber bow - you'll be much better off and will make better progress. Throw the accompanying rosin out and again, buy an inexpensive one, but not the cheapest. An extra set of strings was included. This was good because I broke one while tuning it the first time. The pegs do not go all the way through the peg-box, and they should. The manufacturer should ream the holes slightly larger. Some reviewers talked about having to really jam the pegs in to get them to stick. This is not good because you could crack the peg-box, in which case the instrument would be ruined. I can do simple repairs on violins, and have a reamer and peg-shaver so I shaped the pegs and reamed the holes for proper fit. I'm not saying this is necessary to get pegs that hold their tuning; its just what I did. It may not be cost-effective to have a luthier do this. The unamplified sound is quiet but nice. I have no issues playing it while my wife is sleeping (not in the same room, though). Some reviews mention the improvement in sound with good strings (not the ones supplied). I'm quite happy with the sound their strings make, at least for now. I can't comment on the amplified sound except to say that the supplied over-the-head earphones are adequate, though just barely. The instrument is much louder at the same settings with a good set of earphones. There are separate connections for (head)phones, mic and line-out, for which a cable is included. The instrument is quite playable (using my preferred bow, of course), and I enjoy it. As an aside, when I play my regular, acoustic instrument the volume is initially jarringly loud, but I quickly adjust. Other reviews of this instrument were quite helpful to me, and I hope this is helpful to you.
