OK for a cheap electric violin - I find it a bit heavy, and the neck is thick, making position work awkward. The nut is also not very even where the strings pass on to the fingerboard from the pegs.

The sound depends on how you process the signal, and the signal to noise ratio is not too bad, although if you turn the volume up and play quietly you get some hiss. - I find I can get quite a decent sound playing the violin through the Logic Pro effects, and it takes the "strain" out of playing - can be quite seductive in stopping you playing the real thing!
