Cecilio Electric Violin
Whether you're practicing, recording in studio or performing on stage, the Cecilio electric violin outfit offers excellent functionality and style. It provides violinists of all levels with the ability to practice confidently without disturbing others. The outfit features a 1/8 output jack that allows you to connect to most guitar amps or PA systems (1/4 to 1/8 cable included), volume control that allow you to choose the ambience you want, headphone jack for practice and a line-in jack for practice with a background track. This violin package includes a well-padded lightweight hard case, a bow, rosin, bridge, pickup, aux cable, and headphones. Great for Student, Intermediate and Professional Violinist.
How to choose violin sizes
Violins are available in 8 different sizes: 4/4 (also called full size), 3/4, 1/2, 1/4, 1/8, 1/10, 1/16 and 1/32. Size 4/4 is the biggest and size 1/32 is the smallest. All adults, regardless of their size, use the size 4/4 violin.
To measure what size violin best suits you, you need to know the length between your neck and the middle of your left-hand palm (when your hand is fully extended and raised perpendicular to your body, just like holding a violin). Most of the teachers prefer students to use the length from the neck to the wrist for measurement instead of the neck to mid-palm approach. The violin size determined by the neck/wrist approach would be the size that is more comfortable for students to hold. The violin size determined by the neck/mid-palm approach would be the biggest size students should use. The following table lists the length of each violin size. Find your length using your preferred approach and use that to determine the size of violin to get.
If you have a teacher, you should ask for your teacher's recommendation. If you don't have a teacher, we would recommend using the neck/wrist approach for students not using full size; for students who are deciding whether to used size 3/4 or size 4/4, use the neck/mid-palm approach. This is because it is always better those students feeling comfortable holding and playing the violin. However, while deciding between size 3/4 and size 4/4, if neck/mid-palm approach allows for size 4/4, then buying a size 4/4 is more economical since you don't have to buy another bigger size violin later. This is completely based on economical consideration. You should still decide what best suits your need.

Customers like the appearance of the violin. They say the case is very nice, the design, color, and build of the instrument are gorgeous. The interior is a beautiful sky blue velvet material that really makes the red of the mahogany violin. The end of the pegs adds a very nice touch to the instrument. The finish is well done and the ebony pieces with mother of pearl inlays look great. The sound is good, not tinny or brassy, and has an interesting open body style.

Customers have mixed opinions about the sound quality of the violin. Some mention that the sound is nice, quiet enough to play all the way to dawn, attractive, and serves well for quiet practice.

Some say that no sound came through to the earphones except some static and an occasional note. They also mention that it rattles if you shake the violin or turn it upside down.

Customers are mixed about the tuning of the stringed instruments. Some mention that it stays in tune, the tuners keep everything nice and tuned, and it performs well. Others say that it was challenging to tune since the tuning pegs seem to slip easily.

When the violin arrived, the bridge was not in place, rather on the side and not in any packaging, indicating it may of been set before being shipped. I'm not sure if it was supposed to be, but it was not difficult to put back on (I recommend if you don't know how, take it to a music shop and they will do it for free, along with tuning your instrument). The only issue was when I put the bridge on and started to tune, I noticed the tailpiece rattled. The fine-tuners were not entirely secured and was causing a rather annoying buzz while plucking or playing the instrument. If you look closely at the fine-tuners, there is a second knob that attaches the tuners to the tailpiece. All I had to do was tighten these (it's easier if you remove the tuning screw first and loosen your strings) and screw back in the tuning knob. This fixed the problem, but it took 30-45 minutes to fix the tuners and bridge and tune the violin.
The violin is slightly heavier then an acoustic and even though it would seem to be off balance because it is missing the left upper bout, it surprising isn't that noticeable. The headphones that come with it work, but are of very poor quality, and it wouldn't hurt to invest in a nicer $10-$20 pair if you plan to use headphones (in-ear headphones work also and that is what I'm currently using). It uses a 9-volt battery for the battery pack, and comes with one which was very convenient. The rosin isn't what it shows, and actually seems to be pretty nice and comes with a box. The bow is of nice quality and works fine, but I personally will try to find a wooden or fiberglass bow that matches with the violin. I was surprised to see it came with a nice cleaning cloth and cover. The case is comes with a in-bedded box above the scroll for your rosin and other small objects, two bow slots, a Velcro strip to hold your instrument in the case, and a outside zipper for music, although it is too small to fit music in and close it fully without folding it. There isn't much room in the case for your shoulder rest (I suggest using an Everest shoulder rest, they are affordable, lasting and work with my acoustic and electric violins). It does come with a amplifier cable, and the quality seems nice but it ins't significantly long. The pegs, tailpiece and chin-rest are what looks to be ebony, but the fingerboard seems to be painted wood (the fingerboard matches fine and doesn't stand out but looking closely, it does look different from the tailpiece or chin-rest). The Mother of Pearl inlay on the tailpiece and end of the pegs adds a very nice touch to the instrument, but on one of the pegs part of the thin strip of metal surrounding it fell off. It isn't that noticeable and I'm not too worried about it, but it would be nice if the manufacture checked the instrument for minor flaws such as this and not-so-good paint jobs before shipping it off.
The violin seemed a little cheaper in quality then my acoustic violin also made by Cecilio but overall I am very satisfied by the product. I was very excited about getting this violin and the shipping was fast (I selected free 5-8 day shipping and it came in 3 days, but different areas may have different shipping times. If you live in a larger community, I suggest choosing free shipping rather then paying $10-$25+ for faster shipping) The sound is great and it is significantly quieter then an acoustic. All in all, it is a great buy and nicely priced for the quality you get. Other then its minor flaws, I love the instrument and recommend it to anyone looking to get a good quality electric violin for a nice price.

Overall, my experience after a few hours with it has left me pleasantly surprised.
-Quick delivery.
-9V battery came sealed and worked as expect. Putting it in backwards the first time did not kill the instrument- whew.
-The bow looks and feels like a proper bow -- it didn't feel like cheap crap, sounded fine to me,
-The rosin seemed fine. It didn't come scored, but it was effective. time will tell.
- About the same weight as a normal violin; perhaps a tad lighter.
- It is a quiet violin -- much quieter than an accoustic violin, but it still does make 'some' noise.
- The strings are proper strings -- they held their tuning well enough and didn't break despite over tuning them by quite a bit at first.
- Looks great for the price. The red metallic one has a mild wood grain-like added to it, and the metallic aspect is pretty mild.
- It feels like a proper 4/4 full size violin -- if it's off, I can't notice it.
- the neck of the violin feels proper size; not much problem hitting notes or holding it.
- the headphones it comes with are super cheap, but they work and sound accurate. Only problem I had with them is that they distort when playing the G/D strings at high volume. Comfortable enough and the cable doesn't get in the way.
- Tone control is nice I guess, but the default level is all I will likely ever use.
- Volume is full volume with the included headphones feels about as loud as a good acoustic ; I forget that I'm playing an electric violin pretty quicky.
- It sounds just like a normal violin with the headphones on --- not an expensive one, but your basic student violin. I bought some other strings, so Im expecting even better sounds soon. I might save them for when I break a string though... it sounds good enough with the included strings for now. Not bad honestly -- student grade?
- The tuning pegs did not come loose. whew.
My only complaint so far is that the bridge is a bit awkward --- it isn't mirror balanced -- one side is a bit flat, making it hard to not hit both strings at once. I don't recall seeing this with my other violins --- seems misshapen a bit. I will probably order a new one or steal one from some old violins I have here.
I'm totally pleased with this purchase; if only it had an auto tuner. =)
アコースティックバイオリンでは音量が抑えられないので、静かに練習するために使用しているようですが、非常に高い評価です。
同様の商品の中では、YAMAHAなどから比べれば低価格帯のものですが、そのグループの中では作りが良い様です。
アパートで弾く際に音が気になるので購入
そのまま弾いてもまぁまぁ音は鳴るが普通のバイオリンよりは消音できていい感じでした。
弓と松脂はちょっとキツかったので別のものを使用しました。
アジャスターが4弦全てに付いているので調弦しやすいのがポイント
マイナス点を挙げるとすれば肩当てが無い(別途購入必須)ことと、指板ですぐ指が黒く汚れること
