    When I saw the price of the Stagg violin I stupidly didn't make the connection that cheap prices can mean cheaply made products. This violin is cheap for a reason. The sound it creates resembles that of a child's toy violin. I assumed it was the cheap bow and strings which came with it that created this sound. But after trying out several of my other bows and replacing the strings the sound was exactly the same. Another fault is the bridge - it's a very awkward shape and the strings all seem to lie on a very similar level, making it impossible to play one string without catching another with the bow. Apart from the sound it also looks extremely cheap, and with the large 'Stagg' logo slapped onto the face of the violin you can't disguise the fact that you are playing a violin created by the Stagg brand. For a decent electric violin definitely spend the money! Sorry for such a negative review.

    When our son started his second instrument his teacher bought us a stentor violin from a good music shop. It went out of tune and making different sort of sounds just few days before his grade 3 exam I went to a local music shop just to buy a student violin and the seller showed me a stagg violin and gave me a feedback on it. I purchased it for 90 pounds. That shop is known as expensive shop for normal products. My son managed his grade 4 and grade 5 violin exams with the same violin. We still ...

    Okay, first i went to a shop and saw the Stagg and fell in love with it. However the price took me off, it was £199. My dad then looked it up on the internet and found it for £70. We ordered it and when it came I plugged it in and stared playing, ( You have to tune it yourself though) and for the price it was fantastic. However I was glad i didn't go with the one in the shop worth more because it wasn't worth as much as £200. A few days later while i was playing the bridge f ...

    I went to test the Stagg with low expectations. No way an electric fiddle can work if it costs one sixth as much as the next cheapest.No way anything with Stagg on it can be of any value. This turned out to be misplaced prejudice. It is easily playable and it sounds really convincing (I play through a bass guitar amp). I took it home right away and played it hours on end with a huge smile on my face. Playability is as easy as it should be for a fiddle meant for beginners. The electronics are pow ...

    The Stagg Violin looks great, and it is relatively cheap (with bow and case). A cheap, great looking electric violin. The bow is a bit heavy, the bridge a bit too high. But all in with suitcase, bow, headphones (though not the best of course) and battery, it's well worth a try for starting (electric) violinists who do not want to bother their neighbors with their practicing.

    The Stagg Violin is just what I expected in a violin, and more. Cost under 70 (plus package and posting). Excellent sound and great kit. Useful for practice, showy for rock music, good tone for any type of music.

    I bought my Stagg about a year ago from eBay, for £70. Being at a cheap price you get a lot of good extras including; rosin, guitar lead, bow, battery, etc. Saddly I've been having trouble with the bridge which hasn't been attached properly and keeps slipping, also i feel that the strings may not be the best quality. I am hoping to change these in the near future, which will hopefully help this violin reach its full potential.
    Overall a good electric violin for its money and for starters, ...

    I was looking for a cheap electric violin and this Stagg Violin looked the coolest to me. I love this modell. I've tested the violin in the music store and I liked the sound in the headphone. No harsh pieze sound. Rather smooth violin sound. I replaced the bridge with a bridge from an old acc. violin of mine. This bridge is about 2 mm. Lower then the original bridge. The angle of the strings is now the same as my other very old acc. violin, so I think this is the right angle. At home I played th ...

    It is absolutely advisable to purchase a Stagg violin for beginners and intermediate students. The price - quality ratio is amazingly good!

    The Stagg electric violin is one of the cheapest if not the cheapest you can find today. I got it for 150 euro's ,and that includes a good solid case with all necessary equipment. The looks and the sound are easily worth the price.

    I first tested the violin before I bought it. I was very happy with the sound and the fact that it was made out of wood (looks a bit plastic on the internet), and the overall look is very cool. On the other hand the paint was on some places not distributed evenly a ...

    I would recommend this Stagg violin for anyone beginning and NOT planning to upgrade for a couple of years as one can keep getting more out of it. Comes in very good case with all the necessary pieces.
