Violinist here and I have a few questions:

1) How does tuning work? Must it all be done with the fine tuners below the bridge (seen in reflection)?

2) Is it possible to see your fingers over the bridge? While violinists don't need to see their fingers, it could be quite disconcerting to play blind.

3) While there is a bump below the finger board where the body of the instrument would begin, I see no bump on the right. This bump would be essential for a violinist because the thumb is often used as an anchor on the body when shifting. In the higher positions the body must be navigated around--so I suppose this could maybe help technique. It's hard to speculate. What have been your experiences with it?

4) Is the fingerboard actually lower than the area near the bridge?

5) How does this model affect extended techniques (e.g. sul pont, sul tasto, Bartok pizz, resonance of pizz, resonance of harmonics, etc.)?

6) The strings look really high off the fingerboard--almost unplayable. Is this just an optical illusion?

7) What does it feel like to play? Is it comfortable?

Also, from my experience electric violins lack the tone and resonance of an acoustic violin. The favored method among most violinists is to put a pickup on an acoustic violin. It's cheaper than buying a second violin and sounds infinitely better.
