Cecilio Electric Violin
Whether you're practicing, recording in studio or performing on stage, the Cecilio electric violin outfit offers excellent functionality and style. It provides violinists of all levels with the ability to practice confidently without disturbing others. The outfit features a 1/8 output jack that allows you to connect to most guitar amps or PA systems (1/4 to 1/8 cable included), volume control that allow you to choose the ambience you want, headphone jack for practice and a line-in jack for practice with a background track. This violin package includes a well-padded lightweight hard case, a bow, rosin, bridge, pickup, aux cable, and headphones. Great for Student, Intermediate and Professional Violinist.
How to choose violin sizes
Violins are available in 8 different sizes: 4/4 (also called full size), 3/4, 1/2, 1/4, 1/8, 1/10, 1/16 and 1/32. Size 4/4 is the biggest and size 1/32 is the smallest. All adults, regardless of their size, use the size 4/4 violin.
To measure what size violin best suits you, you need to know the length between your neck and the middle of your left-hand palm (when your hand is fully extended and raised perpendicular to your body, just like holding a violin). Most of the teachers prefer students to use the length from the neck to the wrist for measurement instead of the neck to mid-palm approach. The violin size determined by the neck/wrist approach would be the size that is more comfortable for students to hold. The violin size determined by the neck/mid-palm approach would be the biggest size students should use. The following table lists the length of each violin size. Find your length using your preferred approach and use that to determine the size of violin to get.
If you have a teacher, you should ask for your teacher's recommendation. If you don't have a teacher, we would recommend using the neck/wrist approach for students not using full size; for students who are deciding whether to used size 3/4 or size 4/4, use the neck/mid-palm approach. This is because it is always better those students feeling comfortable holding and playing the violin. However, while deciding between size 3/4 and size 4/4, if neck/mid-palm approach allows for size 4/4, then buying a size 4/4 is more economical since you don't have to buy another bigger size violin later. This is completely based on economical consideration. You should still decide what best suits your need.

What I will do here is comment on each item and part:
The Case: better than I dreamed it might be. Semi hard case with a place for two bows and a cloth cover to protect both bows and violin.
The Bow: I guess it doesn't affect my playing much...I'd say adequate, but what do I know. When I can appreciate it, I'll try some better bows. My wife plays cello and has an $1800 bow (so I wasn't expecting much)
Rosin: Keep rubbin' it's in there. I took a fork and scratched it up real good and it worked well after that.
Strings: OK, from my "roady" days I know that new instruments come with bottom of the line strings, I have put strings from $1500 guitars straight into the trash without even strumming them first. Having said that I used the strings included for my first week of bowing exercises before ordering new strings. But I would expect to buy new strings with any new instrument purchase (unless it's a saxaphone)
Bridge: Bottom of the line but perfectly adequate bridge. The bridge is not installed when the instrument is shipped and that is a good idea so don't expect it to be. Before installing new strings I measured the "action", this is the height of the strings above the fingerboard. I found the strings were a little high, about 1 mm on one side and .5mm on the other. I took some sandpaper and removed some material from the BOTTOM of the bridge. After putting on the new strings the height was with in published tolerances...and I am not even a Lutheran (ok bad pun)
Paint: Grab a rag and vigorously wipe the edges of the fingerboard. I found a little drip residue. The White Paint seems fine.
Pegs: Will slip if you don't set them, I have never worked on an instrument with friction pegs like a violin but it seems to me that if after turning you apply a little pressure to "set" the pegs they will stick. My pegs stick fine, but i understand that this is a common problem.
Tail with fine tuners: Two of my fine tuners were fine (no pun intended here) the others were a little hard to turn. I put a drop of sewing machine oil on each and they were all good.
Chin rest: The included one was fine. Some people hold the violin differently so it is quite common to change these out if you are uncomfortable.
Shoulder rest: Not included!! and you will most likely need one. I recommend the bonmusica at $50 which seems like a lot for a $150 violin but I think it is worth it.
Electronics: This is about the only thing I know something about! Since my wife has an electric cello (same brand actually) we have a very nice amp that cost twice what this violin costs. So I am certain that the electronics are clean and quiet (no static). I was able to dial our amp in nicely and produce a pretty nice tone.
I almost forgot...the headphones: Just throw them out. Cecilio should just stop saying this comes with headphones and toss them in anyway.
So in review:
Absolutely worth buying
Buy some peg drops (~$7)
Buy a shoulder rest (payed $20 at a local shop)
*Long-term update: I've had this for nearly 7 years, and though I don't play it much, it still works very well. Stays mostly in tune for extended periods of time.*
