Hey,

I am about to buy an electric violin (beginners level) which I would use mainly to explore sounds and textures.
Is anyone here experienced and knows, how much of a difference there is between certain models in the low budged area?

I got my eyes on these two and they look like the exact same thing.

Also, I figured out that each music store sells their "own" low budged electric violins and put some random brand name on top of that.

So are these basically the same instruments?

I'm asking because I'm fine with the audio demos of the first store, but due to corona shipping would take a month and I need the violin as fast as possible.

Thanks in advance and best regards

I'm assuming you may already have a violin so I'd like to ask if you'd ever tried anything like these? ...

Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately I don't own a violin yet, otherwise this could have helped me.
