I have a Cecillo CEVN-1 (electric) and I love it.  I think it's very well made and is a quality product.   I'm playing it all stock, unmodified with the bow and strings it came with and I've no complaints.  Now granted, I've little to compare it to except some really cheap Chinese made acoustics (and perhaps 1 Japanese one that's a bit better) and the Cecillo Electric is much nicer.  And of course, I'm a complete beginner so I'm totally unqualified to be reviewing violins!  That being said, the tuning pegs turn smoother, and the CEVN is easier to play as far as my being able to get somewhat decent sound out of it with less screeching.  The bow is the nicest I have - again I know that isn't saying much so take it for what it's worth.  It's very similar in construction and material to the others I have, but it's noticeably better constructed and just nicer.

I mentioned earlier that it's not totally quiet, but it's tons quieter than any acoustic violin.  The strings do vibrate of course but there's no sound board to amplify it.  You and everyone in a normal size family room will hear you play - how much it bothers others in the room naturally will vary!  My wife and kids only let me play during commercials if they're watching TV.  Go to another room and close the door, and perhaps turn on the TV or a radio to cover your playing and no one should complain.

The headphones that come with it are pretty cheap but that's to be expected.  I haven't really tried the pickup except to plug it into a guitar amp just to see if it worked so I really can't comment on that.  The case is very lightweight and seems of decent quality.  The violin is a bit heavier than my acoustics, but I don't know how that compares with any other EV.  Are all EVs heavier than acoustics?  The construction quality and fit and finish seem really good to me.  (I have the natural wood grain one) I think you'll be very satisfied with the Cecillo CEVN.
