Recieved in great condition from across the ocean. My mail man could tell it was a violin case and asked if there was a Tommy gun inside ( I live just outside of Chicago this was Al Capone area during prohibition people remember). We had a big laugh. Arrived in great condition and I tuned her up and played some beautiful open strings. The bow is really nice. I haven't played since college but like a fish to water.

I came across this web page and music store by accident and my acoustic and expensive violin was not having an easy time dealing with drums and electric guitars and crowd noise in the clubs and bars. More unlike my guitars I can plug them into my spark amp or fishman and use Bluetooth to get great practice against actual recordings or tracks. I am a big believe that to improve its good to do the book work but then take that and apply it. I believe this violin will be ideal for that and fun to play. Maple is a great wood for violins, and I am impressed they are made in the shop right there in Dublin. I live in America, and I also enjoyed looking at the range of Irish Folk instruments we don't see here. I've always been intrigued by unusual accent instruments. My work in the US in under the name Waylon Dalton and primarily Country.

I’ve had this violin for almost a year now and really just bought it for the built in acoustic pickup and some fun. For the price the sound and response are reasonable for a beginner to intermediate player. Compared to a more expensive violin (I have one similar to their Maestro/Virtuoso violin series), the sound and response is clearly inferior as might be expected, but for playing Irish jigs with an amp, it’s fine. I really use it as a fun fiddle - you can play classical pieces on it but the tone is quite flat. For classical music at intermediate level and above, I would go for the Maestro/Virtuoso series - and buy a separate violin pick-up to fit on them (which I have also done for my classical instrument). But overall, I would rate McNeela very highly - and if I wanted to buy another more advanced fiddle, they would be one of my first choices.

As always, my McNeela purchase arrived safe, sound and promptly. I bought this to have an inexpensive violin to play at Irish pubs, etc. However, I was absolutely amazed at was included in this student violin package: an attractive, nice sounding violin (e-string is especially lyrical), a beautifully lined, protective case, a nicely balanced bow, rosin, humidity gauge and cloth. The case has compartments for those accessories, too! It’s better than the one compartment, sturdy case I have for my expensive violin! I told other musicians about McNeela’s student package and the price, and they were impressed! I bought it on sale, but the normal price would still have been worth every penny!

Please forgive me for not writing sooner. I've decided to let my violin instructor set up my instrument, but she is away on holidays now. She'll be back on August 3rd, which is when I'm continuing my lessons with her. I will assure you I will write a review then! I am looking forward to playing it! Sincerely Klaus Albert

This violin is quite awesome. I’m nearly 67 and have never played any instrument before starting violin lessons earlier this year. Acoustic electric violin gives me a great learning experience especially when playing with headphones, I just don’t want to stop.
