    Cecilio Electric Violin

    Whether you're practicing, recording in studio or performing on stage, the Cecilio electric violin outfit offers excellent functionality and style. It provides violinists of all levels with the ability to practice confidently without disturbing others. The outfit features a 1/8 output jack that allows you to connect to most guitar amps or PA systems (1/4 to 1/8 cable included), volume control that allow you to choose the ambience you want, headphone jack for practice and a line-in jack for practice with a background track. This violin package includes a well-padded lightweight hard case, a bow, rosin, bridge, pickup, aux cable, and headphones. Great for Student, Intermediate and Professional Violinist.

    How to choose violin sizes

    Violins are available in 8 different sizes: 4/4 (also called full size), 3/4, 1/2, 1/4, 1/8, 1/10, 1/16 and 1/32. Size 4/4 is the biggest and size 1/32 is the smallest. All adults, regardless of their size, use the size 4/4 violin.

    To measure what size violin best suits you, you need to know the length between your neck and the middle of your left-hand palm (when your hand is fully extended and raised perpendicular to your body, just like holding a violin). Most of the teachers prefer students to use the length from the neck to the wrist for measurement instead of the neck to mid-palm approach. The violin size determined by the neck/wrist approach would be the size that is more comfortable for students to hold. The violin size determined by the neck/mid-palm approach would be the biggest size students should use. The following table lists the length of each violin size. Find your length using your preferred approach and use that to determine the size of violin to get.

    If you have a teacher, you should ask for your teacher's recommendation. If you don't have a teacher, we would recommend using the neck/wrist approach for students not using full size; for students who are deciding whether to used size 3/4 or size 4/4, use the neck/mid-palm approach. This is because it is always better those students feeling comfortable holding and playing the violin. However, while deciding between size 3/4 and size 4/4, if neck/mid-palm approach allows for size 4/4, then buying a size 4/4 is more economical since you don't have to buy another bigger size violin later. This is completely based on economical consideration. You should still decide what best suits your need.

    Customers are mixed about the quality of the violin. For example some mention it's a decent violin, the horsehairs seem of decent quality, and the instrument has held up well. That said, others say the bow and rosin are not the highest of quality, the headphones are of low quality, The tailpiece is made of low-quality plastic, and that the electronics are lousy.

    Customers are mixed about the sound quality of the violin. Some mention that with some processing, it can sound fairly good, plays surprisingly loud without amplification, and allows for better intonation than their previous model. The three working strings sound great, and the amplifier is not noisy. However, others say that the acoustic sound is horrible, and it serves its purpose for. The G and E strings still produce some ugly noises, and low G and D strings give out booming echo.

    "...I noticed that the Dominant string looked sturdier and sounded better than the rest, so I changed those out as well...." Read more

    "...The Polytune really helps you track your intonation and drift as the strings stretch so if you're a beginner or even experienced violinist, suck..." Read more

    "...into the violin directly, the sound it initially makes is a rather plain sound; to fix this I put it through my tube amplifier, and PUT REVERB on..." Read more

    "...one which clamps directly to the body of the violin and allows for better intonation than my previous model...." Read more

    Customers have mixed opinions about the tuning of the stringed instruments. Some mention that it is very easy to tune the fiddle and holds that tune for weeks, while others say that the strings will go out of tune at first, this is normal to new strings. Some customers also say that it drifts out of tone easily and frequently.

    "...I noticed some of the tuning problems that others had but with strange noises as I brought up string tension...." Read more

    "...Tuning pegs seated very well and made string stretching a breezeGood finish.Cons:..." Read more

    "...third thing I noticed is that the strings seemed cheap and were difficult to tune even though the violin comes with fine-tuners on the tailpiece..." Read more

    "...Even after a while it still keeps going out of tune quickly you may need to buy peg drops but that is not a big issue...." Read more

    46 customers mention7 positive39 negative

    Customers are dissatisfied with the fit of the violin. For example, they mention the pegs don't stay in place very well, slip badly, and are bent and clamped tightly together. Some say that the tailpiece is a tad loose and the fine tuners were really loose. They also say the peggs have a hard time holding their tune.

    "...The pegs only fit about half way into the opposite peg box wall...." Read more

    "...The A string and E string fine tuners were really loose and I had to reset them...." Read more

    "...The bow was store incorrectly in the case. It was also stored fully tensed/tightened which is a huge NO NO since storing a bow with the hairs..." Read more

    "...The second thing I noticed is that the pegs slipped while I was trying to tune the strings...." Read more

    41 customers mention0 positive41 negative

    Customers are dissatisfied with the durability of the stringed instruments. For example, they mention the finish is cracked, the strings popped off, and the body is fragile. The paint is spray paint that can easily chip. Customers also mention that the bridge spontaneously collapsed and the protective cover is scuffed.

    "...bow was offered, we’d still have a dented violin body, a scuffed fabric protective cover, and a obviously used headset… it just doesn’t add up...." Read more

    "...And it is, the paint is spray paint that can easily chip...." Read more

    Hidden gem for the price

    Hidden gem for the price
    I have a long background in music performance and playing with a variety of instruments. I started over 30 years ago on the piano then moved from the violin to the guitar and bass (primary instruments). I haven't played the violin since high school (decades ago). Recently I became interested in silent e-violins. When I practice, I always try to do so stealthily as I have a healthy sense of shame. As such, I have a silent guitar for practice and e-Drums (acoustic drums are too loud for practice).I started shopping around for silent violins and decided I would find an alternative to the Yamaha as it is too expensive for something I was curious if I would like playing years later.This maple model (the most attractive finish for me) is a steal at the price point. People are paying over $100 more for the other colored versions. Mind-blown about how things are priced.The maple model is impressive looking, and of all the electric violins I've tested, including one from a dealer that came ready to play, set up professionally, and with new decent strings (Preludes). It came as a package with a similar case (only the name on it is changed), rosin, headphones, wiping cloth...you get the idea. It's all made by the same people but personalized for the business.This model (CEVN) is almost like an acoustic violin to me in sound timbre, and after a string change, this feels like a new violin. I was amazed by how quickly I began to pick it up playing again.However, as I'm re-introducing myself to the violin, I'm realizing so many things I did wrong as a beginner so I'm writing this for total beginners.The extras except maybe the case, rosin, and (possibly) the bow are not very useful or good but I don't care about that. I care about the instrument only. If purchased from a dealer re-branded, that set just costs more for what amounts to throw-away accessories. In my perspective, I paid for the violin and bow only, the rest may or may not be useful, and If I travel with it, I'll buy a real hard case but I'm good for now.The bow that comes with it is acceptable but I use my carbon fiber bow and set aside the one I got as an emergency spare.This Maple model is so inexpensive at $66, you can buy great strings, a better beginner bow (~50), and shoulder rest (~$14) for the price of having a different colored model of the same instrument!I use a shoulder rest and recommend it highly. Also, get some violin guidance finger tape even if it makes you feel n00bish. You'll progress much faster (and then later, not need the tape).After letting it settle overnight--until it stayed in tune, I reset the bridge to be straight, and it felt like a brand-new instrument in my hands. I was considering changing the tailpiece too, however, it sounds good enough and will hold off on modifications since I bought it for the bargain it is.This is an excellent violin for a beginner, intermediate, and even some gigging professionals after some TLC it holds its tune with the pegs supplied, and string changing took me 10 minutes, literally. (Takes me half an hour to change guitar strings).1) new strings are a must2) a new bow is highly recommended3) use a tuner!this violin is better after I made some easy changes (the one I bought that was set professionally is only negligibly better!When selecting a model, realize that "too silent" isn't the best thing. The more wood the violin has, the louder it will be. The CEVN model has the most wood and is therefore the loudest model if you're looking for the quietest, this is not it.With a 1/8" to 1/4" cable adapter, I plug in wirelessly (you don't want cables getting tangled up--three input/output holes next to each other). There are great wireless guitar transmitters for ~$30.Even though it is meant to be "silent" (it isn't silent), use an amp. You can still use headphones for the amp output. I say this because what comes out of headphones isn't enough. To a beginner, I'd imagine it sounds as awful as playing unplugged (better headphones or not).Practicing with some reverb and chorus makes me sound better (possibly more than I should). Treat this like an electric guitar and use an amp, play along to songs you like, and you'll enjoy practice much more.This is an incredible bargain if you can overcome the tuning issues people seem to be having. I didn't have any. Push the peg in as you turn. If it locks, get peg paste. Also, as a learning opportunity, try your new bow without rosin. It should make no noise. Add rosin as needed from there. You'll notice the volume will increase. Some people just start rosining up until plumes of it are flying without even checking what difference it made. Once you realize how little it takes, you'll use minimal rosin.This was mostly written for the beginner. Use a good tuner, or a new bow if you don't like the one provided, change the strings, and this is a gangster purchase. Just getting and staying in tune at the beginning is a challenge people will quit over! It's hard to do for any beginner. I recommend the D'Addario Nexxus 360 tuner but even a tuning fork will work. Trust your ears only when they develop some more.I like this violin better than the one I paid 5x more for which was professionally setup. (I'm not a pro violin tech so that says a lot about the quality of this fiddle).I'm already making music! The maple version (at this price point) is an opportunity not to be missed if you are shopping for an electric violin. The other colored models are the same product (sound-wise) but cost 3x more? That's a steal!Because I knew better having played violin growing up, I overlooked the flaws and apparent difficulties that beginners to the e-violin will have because I've been there before. I'm very happy with this purchase and with the seller who was communicative.
