I use this violin for a year and a half, it was the first time I played the electric violin since I was 13 years of violin. At first I was a little disappointed with the sound, but once all the chords change, and buy a tube preamp, the sound was really clean. In addition, it comes complete with bow and rosin box (although the latter two are the same as the strings ... is a stab at ...). I think the FV1 Electric Violin is the first to buy, and then with experience and as required, we must turn to more sophisticated violins, like the Yamaha.
