While attempting to tune in the violin for the first time, the the tension on the strings broke the violin bridge. I made sure the string were not abruptly stretched and prudently moved the tuner to adjust them. The E string broke and the rest of the tension broke my bridge. This is a very rare kind of bridge and I could not find a replacement online. I decided to contact Saga Music Instruments directly and they kindly replied they don’t have those bridges in stock, and referred me to Amazon to return the product to get a whole new violin. But I explained them I already invested in new strings, guides, stickers and other gadgets on the violin that were worth about $100. So I requested a regular beige instead, but they never replied to me again. I had to get a regular bridge on my own, and hope for the best. Def not the best experience.

The violin came not working. The batteries are difficult to fit in the product. Very cheaply made. The finish on the violin was terrible. It did not even cover the whole violin. It looked like a mess. Don't waste your time.

I just got my violin today and was nervous because of some of the reviews. Let’s address a couple issues. 1. The instrument does not stay in tune: If you’re not used to violin pegs, everyone I have ever had needed pressure pushing into the headstock to give it it’s stick. This instrument is no different. Once you wedge the peg in the hole the strings only loose tune initially as the strings stretch and settle. I do close my eyes and pray a bit when bringing up the E string... I have done this as long as I have played violin... lol 2. Heavy, yes. It is not as light as an acoustic violin. It is a solid piece of wood. I have played electric guitar for 20 years, so I do appreciate this. The denser the wood of your electric guitar the better the sustain and tone is. (I know you have a bow sustain should not matter) 3. Finish was fine 4. Battery was easy 5. Worked out the box. I play through a pedal. This instrument comes with a line out to ¼ inch jack so it will plug right into an amp or pedal board. It also comes with a ¼ inch jack out as well. So if you have standard guitar cables those will work too. I loved the headphone jack as well. Did not try the cheap looking headphones that came with it yet. 6. Case is nice, they sent along good rosin. The bow felt natural in my hand.The strings sound good. I will most likely try to find a little bit better quality electric violin strings. 7. Bridge, is a little off on this. I may get it re-done if I find it too much of a hinderance. Just playing around it did not seem to mess with my string positions and hitting other strings while playing one note. If you don’t know much about violins, then this may be a bit hard for you to set it up at first. If you’re getting lessons, ask your teacher if they would help you with it. Most private teachers are good about encouraging your music and will help you with this. If I find a failure I will certainly come back to this review. As of now, my fears of this violin are now gone and I am very excited to play this more!

Like others, I struggled with the pegs. Since I was already curious about fine tuning pegs, I decided to give them a try on my electric violin. Wittner Fine-tuning pegs, Dominant strings, a new Goetz English Ebony tailpiece with titanium tailgut, and a new carbon fiber bridge, along with my center-mounted chin rest for comfort, I now have a lovely and good sounding violin. Because there is no sound post to worry about, i did the work myself. Some notes on the components I changed: - Pegs probably would have been ok to keep, but needed a dab of peg compound. They are actually nice ebony pegs of good quality. Peg compound is available online or any music store for a few $ and should be in a violinist's toolbox anyway. - Peg holes measure 7.8mm -- a useful dimmension to have if ordering fine-tuning pegs. - Tailpiece is standard Wittner with integrated fine tuners, standard issue for student instruments, and it works well as a tried-and-true component. I only switched because I had the fine-tuning pegs already. - The bridge will need replacing. The one that ships with the violin has a shallow cut. A lutier might help, but many will not work on a solid ebony bridge. My solution was a pre-cut one, knowing that since it connects with the pick, I will not need additional carving. My pick was a carbon-fiber one, because it looked good. I might experiment with a high quality french wood one if i can convince my luthier to carve it for me. If you make one improvement -- make it the bridge! - I switched to better strings, since I had some almost-new Dominant on hand. The original strings (D'Addario Prelude, a fine choice for beginners) have little black tubes on them, that are meant to protect the string against the rough surface of the thick ebony bridge. I collected them and reused them. For those NOT replacing either strings or bridge, do make sure those protectors rest on top of the ebony bridge. That is likely the reason people report their strings breaking. They should not be needed on a regular bridge. - Connecting the side 1/4" acoustic OUT to an amp will require an unbalanced cable or the sound will be unbearable. Connecting to a computer will require a preamp. Practicing silently is one reason I have it and using Apple wired ear pods, the sound is similar in the ear to playing with a practice mute. For a better experience, passing through an preamp and a computer with studio earphones is the way to get a full sound. - The violin is solid body, with polish that looks like it was applied after full assembly, with a spray mechanism. As others report, it gets a bit thin under the fingerboard. On a solid body violin, the varnish is not as much part of the sound as it is on a thin-wall hollow body one. - Like all electric violins, this is heavy. To sum it up, with a bit of peg compound on the pegs and careful stringing to make sure the little string tubes stay on the bridge, the violin is already a fine package. Any strip-mall music store will do this for free, or the violin teacher will. I question that bridge shape, and do recommend either finding a lutier to shape it, or replacing it. Figuring out the amp setup will take some additional time and $$$. All the other changes (strings, pegs, tailpiece) can come at a later time, depending on taste. This violin comes setup for a beginner, but with minimum investment, it carries forward to good sound for more advanced violinists. It has the ability to grow and even play some gigs. For the very advanced concert violinist, there are choices out there with superb pickups, but this is a solid choice for the beginning and intermediate violinist, or for practice with sensitive neighbors.

I had already read the reviews for this violin, and honestly, I thought some of the negative reviews were probably wrong. I had heard that the pegs wouldn't stay tight, but turns out they were right. I had to hire a local luthier to set up this violin to get the pegs to stay tight. While that solution worked, ultimately I had to return this violin because no matter what combination of settings and audio equipment, the sound was too distorted for live use. The violin played beautifully, playing wise. And the bow was better than the negative reviews said about it. So, I had to give the overall rating 2 stars. This instrument would be suitable for a student violinist to practice on, not for professional live use.
