How ElectricFiddles Reviews Products

Pernille Daugaard, Founder & Editor
Pernille Daugaard breaks down exactly how ElectricFiddles evaluates electric violins, from playability to electronics to build quality.

What this site does

ElectricFiddles is an editorial operation that helps fiddlers make informed gear decisions. Informed by 28 years on shop floors, building and repairing electric violins, I read specifications, weigh player feedback, and compare designs to produce buying guides and reviews that respect the instrument as a serious category — not a beginner's compromise. Every recommendation here is grounded in real-world experience and analysis.

How we evaluate

  • Sound and electronics: Clarity, response, and noise floor at different gain levels.
  • Build quality: Materials, hardware, and craftsmanship that survive the road.
  • Playability: Comfort, string spacing, and how it feels under the chin.
  • Value: Price relative to performance and longevity in its tier.
  • Versatility: How well it adapts to genres like Celtic, bluegrass, or rock.
