- The volume is surprisingly high even without any electronics. Kinda like a normal violin with Tonwolf. I would have expected that it is quieter. So practice quite silent is not possible. If you want to exercise in addition to a bedroom, one a piano or pianissimo must therefore already mastered in order not to wake the people, or you need additional cushioning.
- The feel is amazingly real. Here makes clearly paid that Ebony was used for garnish and that the neck is not painted.
- The vertebrae were cut clean from the outset. The violin can vote even without washing soap and chalk, the mood is kept relatively well on average about 6 hours away. I do not know if this is a fluke, but I am quite pleased because I had rather expected in this price range that you have to be recut the holes or the vertebrae. (I should probably say that I use only one of the four supplied fine tuner on the E string, but otherwise use the normal vortex.)
- The body of the resonance behavior is amazingly natural. If you knock with your fingernail against the body, that sounds like a real violin, only a bit quieter.
- That which comes from the supplied headphones is (even at max volume.) Surprisingly quiet (my existing headset is as much full). Together with the acoustic sound but also satisfies the provided.
- Sure, it does not sound like a top instrument from the violin maker, but the difference is not nearly soooo huge, as that between guitar and electric guitar. I like the sound and I find him to be amazingly natural. But otherwise it is as with all matter of taste. Who in this regard still has not a very strong sense, will likely hear no difference from an ordinary violin.
Otherwise, I can still supplement the less surprising experience:
- The first Einkolophonieren the arc is a bit time-consuming, since both sheet and resin are still completely unused (so far I had always either used a bow, or a used Kolophonblock). A roughing the Kolophonoberfläche makes it easier does not make it really easy. So The colophon seems a rather harder style, and it is now roughened such that it poses no more difficulties.
- The pickup is a passive piezo-effective design (as in 90% of E-fiddles) .Ganz wrong but that is not, after all, because then you can pull any strings and so tone, playability and dynamics can adapt to your requirements. Also one has therefore no pre-noise.
- There are included favorable steel sides, but I can handle it, and I will leave once up d', also because they fit well with the character of an electric violin (especially if you would like to chase the sound effect by generators). The bow is an unremarkable student sheet which served its purpose.
- What comes out of the "line out" I have not been able to really take a closer look, however, will not sound different from the headphone output.
Conclusion: I got much more than I expected. However, I would have liked for the silent practicing, but desired that it is acoustically a little quieter, but that seems, if one reads the other reviews and forum posts to be with all E-fiddles so. I'll definitely keep and can recommend them to comparatively quiet practice, especially if you do not dare to mount an expensive borrowed instrument a comparatively heavy Tonwolf. Also it is ideal for melodies or accompaniments einzuspielen in a Tonschnittprogramm because one has to worry less about noise.
