4.0 out of 5 stars Great if you aren't a professional violinist, November 14, 2009

I picked this up to add to my interesting instrument collection. I wanted something cheap to learn and practice on. This worked great. The first thing that I did was take it to a local trusted music store to give it a once-over. The guy (with 60+ years of violin experience) told me that I got a steal for the price that I had paid. He said mine was probably worth more along the lines of $130.

Now don't get me wrong, this is not a professional violin and it has its issues. The bridge is relatively flat and there is not enough action on the next to shave it down and round it out more. This will make it harder to play the middle strings, but not impossible. The bow is also not the best, but it does work well enough for what I need. You will also have to learn to make the tuning pegs stick more and less. Some of mine needed some rosin to make them stick more while some needed a little crayon wax to make them slide a bit more. Just some trial and error.

The sound is as good as I would expect. It sounds decent to me. Not great, but decent. However, I would guess that much of the poor sound is coming from my lack of talent and not the violin itself.

Recommended if you are looking for a fun toy or a cheap learner, but not the best choice for advanced users or actual performances.

4.0 out of 5 stars AUSTINS VIOLIN BAZAARO, April 15, 2010

By 

LaDonna C Smith (Birmingham, Alabama) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Full Size 4/4 Electric Violin Set with Case and Accessories - White

This great little violin is as weird as your gear!!! fuzz tone, overdrive, loopty loops, gotta have some sonic processors, otherwise you'll just sound like one of those loud tinny wanky dank, out of tune icky wickies, or a cat that the rocker just ran over it's tail.
Just kidding!!! I love the little AUSTIN BAZAAR for it's tone (through all of the above).. but I have a little G6 ($49 amp) and it sounds better through it than a clean expensive amp. The only problem with Austin, is you might want to get it a cadellac bridge and peg adjustment, but i've MADE mine work.. patience & persistence. I teach many violin students, many interested in an electric. It's the best choice for a first electric out there..(not a big investment-and can be adjusted to any spec) and quite frankly, the hollow-body plastic gives it a better tone than the more expensive solid wood or fiberglass ever can.

After about $20.00 of modifications, I got this violin into playing condition. The bow that comes with this violin did not hold tension. The hair quality was decent though. I replaced the boy with a stronger one. I also had to add fine tuners. Only one fine tuner comes on this instrument (on the E string). The pickups are very hot and sensitive, but surprisingly produced a sound i didn't expect from a cheap violin. If you are on a tight budget, this is not a bad buy. It works great as a practice violin or something you just want to learn on.
