Depending on your curiosity…….I've heard several good remarks about "The Band" (sound quality). Might be useful but I do not know personally much about it.
Fishman is certainly excellent stuff but how do they avoid feed-back ?

I have one of those ebay electirc violins. Costs about $130. I really like how it feels, very light weight. The only problem i'm having is keeping it in tune. It slips out in just about as long it took to tune it. Grrrr
The Gentleman at the Music store told me that I should make the holes a bit larger on the pegs. What do you feel about this? I don't know what to do. Also, if this is the problem could I use a bead reamer to make the holes a bit larger.

I just wanted to let you all know that I found a auction on Ebay that was selling the Cecilio electric violin for $104.99 plus free shipping from kkmusicstore2. I also found auctions for $119.99 and $129.99 at the same time from the same place with free shipping.
If you are looking, look at all the auctions and you may save your self $25.00 bucks as I did. Now I have a few extra bucks to get myself a extra Christmas gift.

The Gentleman at the music store does not know what he's talking about.
The taper for violin pegs is different from other tapers. The problem that you are having is common to cheaper violins. They make everything all shinny looking and in doing so make the pegs slick. When you tune put pressure on the peg toward the peg box. If you take your strings off remove the pegs and very lightly sand then with very fine paper to take the polish off of them but do not make the peg holes larger.

I'm looking at purchasing an electric violin also. Just wondering why KKmusic has an MSRP at $499. then has sell price for $129.00. Why would they be so cheap? From the posts on this site these violins seem to be a great buy. I'm looking into the CEVN-2NA+FB1. But am just cautious at this point.

Thanks FM for the info. I would have to say I'm gonna get one if that's the normal price. Since I work odd hours and three jobs, I really need something that is quiet to respect my family's sleeping time. Are the electric violins more weather tolerant to weather. Lets say like now if it's a nice cool day around 40 F, would it be OK to chill out on the front porch and play? Or should I stay in the house?
