electric violin is the instrument for musicians who want an electric
violin but
who are eager to retain the character of an acoustic violin. Are
you dissatisfied with
the electric violins you have listened to because they don´t
sound like a violin in the
same way an electric guitar doesn´t sound like a guitar? Then
this instrument will
interest you. You will find it very difficult to hear any difference
between this electric
violin and an acoustic violin with a contact microphone attached to it.
At both low and
high levels it keeps its violin sound. This is made possible by a
microphone system built
around a sound board.
The instrument has the same unique microphone
system as the Elvari. The body is
built of high quality birch plywood. The neck is in traditional maple,
the fingerboard
and tuning pegs in ebony. The string holder in composite with built in
fine tuners. As an
alternative the string holder can bee made of ebony.
This electric violin is also a perfect
instrument for practising even when it is not connected
to an amplifier. Its sound level, dynamic and sound remain so good you
will be happy
to play it unplugged. Your neighbours, family and pets will also be
happy.
The instrument has a built in volume control. There is a four stringed
and a five
stringed model. The later also has the viola C-string. Both instruments
have
the usual violin measures. The standard colour is red.
The instrument can be plugged directly into a PA but works very well
together with small aucustic amplifiers like Roland Mobile Cube, Yamaha
THR5A or Boss AC-22LX.
