Hello everyone, pleased to make your aqcuaintance. Hopefully you don't mind me writing in English, since it feels more natural to me than Finnish does. I do understand Finnish but you can answer in either language. Now, let's me get the show on the road then. For a while now I've had a thought of getting a violin. Of course, when I inspected some of them on the Internet, I was shocked by their prices. There were many cheap ones too but by reading conversations I found out that they may be far from perfect. Frankly, I can't afford to buy a violin that costs 200$ or more. Everything's so damn pricy nowadays.. So, back to the topic. I did find some that I could afford on my budget but I'd need some help on deciding which one I should pick and which one I should leave on shelf. These are the ones that I could afford. I know, I know. I should spend at least that 200$ to get a decent violin. But as a student.. oh well, you get the point; I gotta live. Anyway, I'd like a violin that could last for years and serve me faithfully, without disappointments, but one that is cheap at the same time. 1. http://www.abertone.com/v144d-viulusetti-koko44-p-785.html (ACOUSTIC) 2. http://www.abertone.com/sahkoviulu-black-p-847.html (ELECTRIC) 3. http://www.abertone.com/sv244-viulusetti-p-784.html (ACOUSTIC) Please, feel free to recommend me some others, too. Yours, Soul's Toler. | |

Yours, Soul's Toler. -Don't buy cheap electric. Their sound is awful. -Problem with cheap acoustic violins is that even though it may be decent, the setup is almost always bad. You usually have to take it to a luthier who will do adjustments to get the thing even close to playable. And that takes money too. My advise is that you look for a used cheap violin which really has been played with a decent amount of time. ( maybe save a bit more money too ). There's a good chance that the setup is already ok if someone has used it. | « edellinen sivu | seuraava sivu » | 1 |
