To help find the electric violin that you desire you can match the features of the one you are comparing with those listed on your checklist.

 

However, if one or more electric violins have matching features or are missing features, then, you may consider another dimension in your checklist. How? By prioritizing the features.

 

This way, if electric violins are missing or have features different to each other then you can still determine which one is closest to your ideal and consider choosing it. The desision will be easier because the electric violin that you now select will have the most of the important features you listed.

 

For example, you can use a priority code such as:

• “must have”, “bonus” or “not required” (these titles explain themselves)
• "Priority 1", "Priority 2", "Priority 3" (where 1 could be the highest and 3 the lowest, or vice-versa) or
• another code that has some meaning for you

Here is an example where the blue electric violin has

• the most "Must Have" and "Bonus" features for the buyer and
• one "Not required" feature, namely the high discount price (which another person may place as a high priority).

From the information in the checklist below, the blue electric violin meets the example buyer's "Must Have" criteria more than the pink violin.  So if the buyer doesn't mind paying more, then the blue violin may be the best choice. This is a simple example to demonstrate a possible real life example.  In reality, the decision may be diferent due to other criteria personal to the buyer that we have not listed here.
