Hi

I've been looking into buying an electric violin. I've found four that I like. Three of the four didn't have any customer reviews so I was wondering if anyone that owns these other three could tell me what they think of their physical, and sound qualities. Their Ease of play, and if they sound the same with headphones on VS plugged into an amp (I read about some sounding flat plugged into an amp).

The first one is a Carlo Robelli EV30N

The second is a Shar Plug N Play Violin

Thank you all.

Don't take my word for it, as I am new to the violin, but I have been reading violin price and quality reviews for weeks.

You can also do this if you want!

Out of all of the violins that I have been looking at for under $700.00, time and time again, I have read that the Barcus Berry BAR-AE is the one.

It comes in several cool colors. It is an Acoustic and Electric, unlike the solid body Fender!

The fiddle players for Rascal Flatts, Gretchen Wilson, Tim McGraw, Clay Walker Band, Bob Seger, Louise Mandrell, Dave Matthews, etc plays the Barcus Berry BAR-AE. You can buy one for $394.00. It comes with a state of the art pickup, case, and bow.( Shipping Included in price )

After driving myself nuts for days, and reading review after review. This is the one that I ordered last week from Ebay. It should be here in a few days.

They must be pretty good if a bunch of "A" List Road Musicians are using them now! I will let you know what I think of it, when mine gets here! I bought the blue one. I think it looks pretty cool!
