Stagg EVN 4/4

- How long have you use it?

I used it for a year, I bought it new on eBay (like many I think) because its low price and its look rather pleasant. I wanted to start the electric violin and stagg is a brand known input (lower) range, it met the needs of a beginner.

- What is the particular feature you like best and least?

Schematize ...
The Good:
_ Design
_ The small price
_ (The cover) o_O
_ The 2-band equalizer integrated violin + volume control
_ An output jack and a mini-jack

The Bad:
_ The bridge like a lot, he often falls in the total tuning, or is flawed ... (this implies sagging ropes and tends to affect several strings simultaneously with the archer)
_ Ankles are plastic, they often turn by themselves, which tune it. We can fix that with a bit of chalk (house method)
_ The strings are very high and acute in becoming unplayable
_ The fine tuning screws are very small but quality remains, they in place (I would say more, they are sometimes blocked ... O_o)
_ The wood used for the body and the highly dubious origin is key (IKEA or something similar, luxury plywood bo ...)
- Have you tried many other models before buying it?

Ben nan. It was just to try the electric violin at the base.

- How would you rate the quality / price?

Given its low price for an electric violin, we could not expect the super quality. It still manages to release a clean sound in a good amp, but it lacks a bit of warmth and life, that is, to say otherwise flat.
It was enough to start and learn the basics of violin (with its strong and full of reverb ^^)

- With experience, you do again this choice ...?

Honestly, no. Working now on a Zeta Strados and the difference is huge. All negative points are corrected Stagg, I have more than the positive.

I suggest you take a look on eBay, it sometimes happens to fall on a good view very good deal. I saw a Fender FV-1 € 150 and I had my Zeta was worth $ 2,200 to 450 € with shipping costs. If you have had the chance to test an electric violin and it's your future passion ... aim higher than the stagg.

No violinist .. I just play a little ... on the acoustic and the electric
in electrical I only tried this one ... so no basis for comparison ...
before talking about the rest of you should know that it will change the strings and the bridge (otherwise difficult to play ...) once made the sound is very correct ... the preamp n is not bad .. but the headphone jack breath a little ... on an amp with no breath against if you DO NOT exceed 80% of the volume ... so pretty!
Another flaw ... is heavy! So for small necks too fragile, we forget!
The bow is not great either ...
So if you change the strings and the bridge (about 150 euros more) and the bow (there are correct to 90 euros) you get a good electric violin for 150 +150 +90 = 390 euros!
It frankly does not it?

I'm not agree with the view Previous. I bought an acoustic violin on ebay China, for its proper price, I wanted an electric to register easily add effects ....

-The bridge is not very good, the strings are too close, but can be a good as well for training. The strings are high enough down on the handle, but I saw down at the bottom has not bother me ...

A little hard-grant, but once that has held fairly well, do not ask too much of that price! Tuning screws trs walk well.

-The sound is OK, I'm not.

-A problem on my own but should not be the case all the time: a grsille when using the setting "high" but hey ... just nothing serious.

-On the net for 130 and y 'has a lot of OCCAZ, I got 80.

-The bow with which I think is really good compar one I had with the acoustic violin.

In conclusion, I do not regret my purchase, if you have your beginners than enough, to be compared harley benton!

I can now give my opinion on the electric violin ...
Know first that I have this violin recently, and I am a "good" violin.

This violin, great-looking, is made from the factory. Be indulgent to the problems of ankles and other ... (Hint: buy this violin from a violin maker, as the three keys, which you arrange the biggest problems string = changed, button, pins and bridge set ...)

The characteristic I like most: his looks, its price! (Bah, I think its good for a violin € 150! Good ok with the changes that need ^ ^)
The characteristic I like least: ... his bow (factory always buy another one if you do not already), problems of ankles (ankles that do not take up)

Warning: the strings are a changing! For a violin sound decent!

FYI, this is my first violin ELECTRIC! and advice: those who want to learn to play the violin, or playing in the silence, do not take it!

value for money? Well, it's the must! it's the best! Cheap and very useful for playing in a rock band (well to start in a group of folk-rock, or rock, or ... joker ^ ^)

with experience ... If I had known all about the violin, I will have still taken ... because we had to start somewhere, but now that I have if I had to buy another one because it would die, I will take another well! ^ ^
