Great value
I bought this as I used to play violin as a child and wanted to get back into it.
I needed an option that could be played in an appointment without bothering the neighbors to much and read up a bit on different options, mainly from Harley Benton.
Admittedly I haven't used it very much or frequently since I bought it (~4 years ago) except the first few months, but it still works without issue whenever I feel like playing.
I'm sure one would notice a difference if compared with a more expensive instrument, but this violin is excellent value for a beginner or even a more advanced player that needs an alternative to practice at home.
I've ran it through both headphones and my guitar amp. It sounded fine on headphones but a bit shrill through the amp. That is likely due to my horrible technique, and the fact that I didn't bother to mess around with the EQ very much.
The supplied hardcase is excellent. My only gripe is that the shoulder rest has to be removed for it to fit (this is normal, of I recall my childhood correctly though) but there isn't really any good place to put it; you have to store it next to the violin, making it rattle around when transporting the case.
I have done this several times, honestly not as carefully as I probably should be at times, but have had no issues because of it, so it should not be a concern.
In conclusion it's great value, especially at this price point. I'd recommend it to anyone looking for their first electric violin, a good practice violin, a backup instrument or as the first violin for a beginner.

Good beginner violin
The Harley Benton HBV 990BCF is of quite good quality and the only thing/problem I could find on my violin was that the LINE OUT jack was a bit of (I could plug it in and have no sound at all and then by twitching the plugged in contact a bit the sound would come back). If you buy this model and get the same problem try that before sending it in for repairs because the quality of this violin is just that of a electric beginner violin or just if you want something to play around with.
For the price it is a very nice beginner electric violin.
