Explore the World of String Electric Violins

If you are looking for a great instrument that you can play both electrically (amplified) and acoustically, here are some great options. The Eastman 305 has long been a go-to for us as an entry: the acoustic instrument resonates with wonderful harmonics and is a well-balanced articulate instrument. And it takes the amplification particularly well. The unique jack system in the end button puts all the electronics out-of-the-way so that it doesn’t impair your playing or require any adjustments.

The Realist Violins from the workshop of David Gage in New York City has become the national trendsetter in electric acoustics. These European/American made instruments are built with Carpathian tonewoods and are set up to perform for both acoustic and electric players. The electronics are subtly tucked away on the backplate and subtle knobs on the C-Bout allow onboard tone control. The Instant-Active feature of the Pro Series offers immediate conversion to active power with a mere 90-second charge to provide 48 hours of active play and additional onboard gain control to increase the sound penetration of your instrument!

Fully- Electric Solid-Body Instruments

If you are ready to wholly commit to electric play, the Yamaha is the industry leader…and for good reason. The unique, tasteful teardrop design of the YEV is fashioned from all-wood product and performs with a gratifying tone that both hobby players and professionals alike have found musical joy! The Silent series (which is not silent at all!) are the Yamaha signature instruments and are easily the most popular professional electric violins around…enjoyed by the Two Cellists, Lindsay Sterling and many other great artists.
