Good Points: Nice styleGood value for price.Long lasting battery
Bad Points: Cheap quality bow
General comments: 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 fell of. When I put it back on, no sound came out of the amplifier, all i heard was buzzing. I found out that the microphone had broken. The microphone is a little reectangular box that places under the bridge. Because the bridge had moved, it had moved the mic. Anyway, I called the company and within a few days they sent me a new Stagg violin and took the old one away for free.I enjoy playing my new Stagg and am very pleased with it, but now i know not to tamper with the bridge or strings.The headphones aren't very good, but they will get you by...The bow isn't that good at all, but you can buy one off the internet for not very much, i would recomend the Stagg violin for not beginners, but slighlty more advanced players. I am grade 3 and have no problem with it. I'm sure you won't either.

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.
