HBV 990BEM 4/4 Electric Violin : OK for the price

4 years ago

Pros:

- price

- quiet, I got it mainly for practice

Cons:

- weight, about 50% heavier than a real violin - not really suitable for beginners

- The bottom of the body is thin plastic and tapered (see photos), it is difficult to attach a standard chin rest to it. The chin rest that comes with it is not adequate for properly holding it.

- Headphone amp is not adequate, it makes a very loud pop when turning on/off, and has a lot of noise. I prefer playing unplugged even if the sound is a little thin.
