Violin Body
The EVL electric violin bodies were designed to give the player all of the benefits of an acoustic violin. The instrument is engineered carefully so that the chambered body weighs and balances the instrument to feel like an acoustic. They also play like, or better than, the acoustic violin. We use select woods with the same techniques to create our instruments that violin makers have been using for centuries. We believe this makes our instruments stand to a higher quality with increased playability.Pickup
Recently we have moved towards Schatten pickups for a warmer acoustic tone and recommend this for true professional quality sound. Barbera pickups are also available. A custom Barbera can be installed for use with Pitch-to-MIDI systems.Options
Violins may be purchased with several features. Base model orders have the options of body type, and color/finish. Extra options include sunburst paint jobs, mechanical tuners with a guitar style headstock, frets, or different pickups. Please ask if interested in MIDI or Octave configurations. Violins may be purchased with 4, 5, or 6 strings (or more!). Electrics are available with Viola lengths (including configurations with E strings) and 3/4 sizes, please contact us for more information. We have several models of acoustic electric violins available. All violins come with a case. Bows may be purchased from us, or you can use your own!We also take custom orders
