«  Good Entry Level »

Model manufactured in China but still good.
On 20 frets available, the latter are relatively hard to make it sound (as most acoustic).
Aside from a small flaw that I had when changing strings (ankle holding said string is split by blocking my rope, in turn Woodbrass and a new one is above) the violin itself is pretty good.

On electronics, was the fishman so if you use a studio, it's really best to do it through a preamp and compressor. Live it is less embarrassing!
On the control panel of micro, small equalizer is a (low midrange treble), a built-in tuner and a very convenient boutont "phase" which I still have not found useful.

UTILIZATION

The handle is pretty nice, I still recommend a draft of light or extra light strings (I'm used to the power too ...).
The sound is super bright and with good strings, it is quite easy to play.
If good strong support on the ropes, we get a great sound, however, it tends to curl a little.

It is light, pleasant live as friends as well as in the studio.

SOUNDS

It is ideally suited to a folk style and possibly of a gypsy.

Another inconveniant is that the strings are a bit remote from the handle to the 12 '15' freight. A trip to a luthier to put it a little bit of lime to your saddle you order the things this problem but suddenly, the strings will have curling time in other serious.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 2 years, this is the first electro-acoustic I buy and if I had to choose a re electro for less than 350 €, I would do this choice without hesitation.
