Superlux ECO88S 6 pack SET 1

I got the brown one about a month back, 6 days from order to delivery in the UK.

I'm a gigging musician of over 10 years, playing bass, acoustic and electric guitar.

The fiddle came with a semi hard case, that I would happily use for gigging, rosin that works but easily brakes (was broken when arrived) a battery in the fiddle and a spare battery in the case, earphones that work but are cheap and is partly set up when delivered. As I tightened the strings up to standard tuning the pegs would start slipping before getting there, so I helped the pegs get deeper in to the holes, and the violin now holds tune very well, to the point that I can pick it up the next day and it's still in tune!

The fine tuners can be a little stiff, but do work. The fine tuner on the D string could do with replacing as it only works a very small margin, but is manageable.

I got the fiddle so I could practice quietly and not disturbed the family. With lockdown we have stayed with my parents so there have been 6 of us in the house, and I have been able to practice very late at night in the living room and no one has been able to hear me in bed. In the day time I can practice in the next room and no one knows I'm even there! But while playing I can clearly hear what I'm playing while unplugged.

If you plug the headphones in and play you can clearly hear what you are playing, but I found if i try and play two strings at the same time, the sound can get fuzzy, this also happened when i used a good set of headphones. When played acoustically I feel the sound is a bit throaty, but this violin is not ment to be played acoustically or via headphones, its ment to be plugged in to and amp or pa system. So I plugged it in to a cheap small practice guitar amp, and the fiddle sounded very good and when I played two strings at once it sounded clear, with the only problem being my skill level! Haha. I haven not tried the MP3 in Jack.
