For the money great sound and looks wonderful!

Overall:

Great Violin to start out with, that you won't outgrow for a long time.  Got it in Honey Blond looks great for the price.  Sound quality matches the looks, even with the original strings!

Good Deal

| Review By: B S | 5 months, 2 weeks ago

2 people out of 2 found this review helpful

Features:

Having a pickup is a great option, I gave this a 9 because it would be nice to have treble/bass controls, but there's other ways to control that.

Quality:

As I'm just learning violin, I can't really speak to the overall quality of the instrument's tone (although this is always somewhat subjective and varies with each individual instrument).  However, I am an experienced guitarist, and I can testify that the pickup and the sound into my amp definitely seems solid. It's fun to run it through  efftects as well.  The body seems solid and well-crafted, but I'm not too convinced with the bow.

Value:

For under $1,000 this is definitely the best value you can find for a violin with both acoustic and electric options.

Overall:

I'm definitely happy with this violin.

I have always wanted to learn how to play the fiddle. I first bought a very cheap beginner violin and I could not get a clean note out of it. I was about to give up and one my friends who plays with Jeff Cook of Alabama suggested this beauty. I took his advice and now am playing the fiddle during our gigs! I chose the natural color. It really stands out on stage. The pick-up is American made and sounds great through the PA. I would highly recommend this jewel to anyone wanted to play fiddle or violin.

Overall:
Got my second Silver Creek violin. Was not happy with the first one ordered, (a second), but this one is almost top notch. Tuning is so fantasticily easy. No more fighting with the tuners when you have wide range fine tuners at the bridge. Plays grand. The 2nd, I kept, too, because it had the best case and you can't find violin cases that have special pockets for your shoulder attachments. I switched cases, and let my son have the old one with the new case. I took it to church and played with the sanctuary empty and filled the air with music.
