Not for me. The body developed a crack within a week of playing. I'm not using it anymore because the strings cannot be tuned with the fine tuners, they don't move, it's impossible.

Mine still exists. I bought it in February. I just can't USE it because the poor design has all the finger placements wrong. I think any violin (even this one) will last a long time, if you care for it properly and treat it gently.

I think it might be longer on the mechanisms, but, maybe six months or a year on the electronics. The one I purchased for my entry door in Ixtapa, Mexico has started to give me problems already and it has only been installed for less than one year. It shows that the batteries are low, but, it turns out that the batteries are fine, and for some reason, the contact the electronics are making with the batteries is not secure. I have to play with the battery cartridge to position it just right, or it won't work. I have written an e-mail to the company and have not heard back from them for over a month now. I am beginning to question their commitment to their customer service and to maintain their reputation. If they help me with my problem, I will certainly publicize it- but, at this point, it is not looking good.

The longest that I've used it is 4-5 minutes, but I didn't use it again the same day. It has held up fine.

There is more than one seller you never know what you will get. Saying this mine were 2016-2017. It should last years more than this too.

Rich,It depends on the user. As a teacher I went over five months on the first charge, students will get a few months longer.

It will last forever, like mine, coz you will simply pit in a box after seeing it doesnt work :)

No, except that there is alot of contact so the may not last as long. But the price is right.

If you're asking how long it will last, I would say for about 3-4 months maybe even longer!

The longest I have had CO stocked up was 8 months. Used it without any problems. I am sure it can last much longer.

I would not get it until it is proven to be more reliable. If you do not mind dealing with repair once in awhile, then go for it.

This doesnt last very long.....probably 3 weeks for me....depends on how much you use and how often. So it can get expensive. But it is the best.

Gayle, I don't know for sure as I go through mine pretty quickly. I think if you sealed it after each use, it'll last for a while.

Being that it is under high pressure I doubt if it will last very long. You can try.

It usually is labeled one to two yrs. out. But I don't think that this is the absolute limit if stored propely.

No. Should last for a long period of time. Many years if maintained properly.

I'm not sure. I used it for something a little different but it's better than nothing. Follow instuction completely and you'll be fine

Yes, it will take about 15 to 30 minutes. You will need one other person to help you with it though.
