Overview
A stage with an amplifier is where this five-string electric violin works, built with a hollow body for resonance and a built-in piezo pickup. A treated maple bridge and geared pegs aim at an acoustic feel.
The hollow body and treated bridge are aimed at acoustic players who dislike giving up responsiveness. The low weight and multilayered design suit performance, but the listing says nothing about a case or bow.
Who it's for
Acoustic violinists and violists adding amplified work get a familiar layout with a deep range. Anyone wanting a complete kit with accessories should look at a bundle.
Pros and cons
- Hollow body for resonance
- Built-in piezo pickup
- Geared pegs for precise tuning
- Weight comparable to an acoustic five-string
- Needs an amplifier
- Case and bow not listed
- Composite strings, not steel
Performance notes
The hollow body adds resonance, and the treated maple bridge carries sound to the piezo pickup, which captures it for the amp. Geared pegs make tuning changes quick and precise, even mid-performance.
