Debited or credited automatically each month. It came with violin, bow, chin rest, shoulder rest and a case. Not to mention ALL repairs are covered and tuning. The $25 also includes accidental break insurance. Value: 70% of each monthly fee is stored as credit on your account towards a brand new violin. They said it takes approximately 2 years worth to get one! By that time, my son will be able to know if he is committed to the violin and can get his very own. How awesome

I decided to upgrade the NS Wav violin I bought from EVS a few years back. (Mostly for the same…read morereason everybody who moves on from the NS Wav does so: because its shoulder rest system just basically doesn't work.) I ordered a 3Dvarius online, but I didn't like the tone so I sent it back, which all went fine. But that led me to realize that the only practical way to pick out an instrument I liked was to go to the shop in person. That's a bit of a production since it's in North Carolina and I'm in California, but hey, that's why they have airplanes. So I went, and I spent pretty much an entire day playing every 4-string they carry. (Sadly, I'm too set in my ways to handle 5-strings.) They were incredibly welcoming and helpful and knowledgeable and informative, and if they were annoyed by my playing the same thing over and over at fairly high volume, they didn't show it. I eventually picked out a Cantini Canaletto (see pic), which they customized with Wittner geared pegs in time for me to catch my flight home. This was an altogether satisfying experience. I have nothing but good things to say about EVS, and I highly recommend them to anyone who's looking for an electric violin.

What can I say? I purchased a 3dvarius new violin for $2300 and it arrived with prior damage on it…read more The area by the nut had been clearly repaired with some kind of putty. There is a long scratch on the back that was coloured in with a wood pencil. And, worst of all--the chinrest's metal prong was dislodged on one side and the metal prongs scratched and bent, making it impossible to even place it on my shoulder to try the violin, since the chinrest is only attached on one side, and the other side is out of whack and it's all wobbly. So disappointing. I call the shop and they tell me it's shipping damage and can I wait for them to contact Fed Ex to get a claim filed and they'll call France to see if the damage can be repaired. Hello? You shipped me a used and repaired and damaged violin, that I cannot play. How about, we're very sorry. Here's your prepaid shipping label to ship it back, and refund my $2300. I bought a Yamaha violin from them a couple years back and everything went great. The case I purchased for it is difficult to open and close so that was not great but it's a pretty purple. I use it for a violin that mostly stays home, not the electric. What has happened to our beloved EVS? I'd hesitate to purchase here now. When I asked them: what happened, they said, well yes, we know about the scratch on the back of the violin and we know that we used epoxy on the nut area to get rid of a buzz, but we figured if you liked the violin, we could always offer you 5% off if you noticed the damage. Huh? This one is going back and I hope I get my $2300 back or I'm going to be very upset. Update: I did get my $2300 back on my credit card after I shipped it back with a prepaid Fed Ex label they sent me after much going back and forth. I hope this company is able to maintain it's self. I did like my first purchase (the Yamaha violin, which I still play on regularly).
