‘The most customised electric violin
Check our other violins
Made by a violinist for violinists and stands out for its extremely close tone to an acoustic violin.
AJ MacLeod (verified owner) –
Despite being a minimalist design this violin is beautifully made and extremely comfortable to play. Unbelievably light, but with all the normal contact points of a traditional instrument exactly where they should be. It feels exactly like an “ordinary” violin and during playing one really forgets that it’s an electric violin. The sound is very natural compared to many piezo equipped violins and with nothing more than a simple impulse response effect it does not sound at all “electric” (though of course it works equally well with effects like distortion etc.)
Valentin was very responsive to any of my questions and with updates on the build and the whole process only took around six weeks despite my order having been placed in the Christmas / New Year holidays.
My only “regret” is that I didn’t have the courage to opt for five strings instead of four – perhaps one day!
