• Peg box situated close to human body trunk to keep weight inboard as much as possible.
• Extra neck length provides easy multi-positional playing for the accomplished musician.
• Wide string spacing at nut is ideal for large handed operators.
• Wide string spacing, in conjunction with low string settings, minimum fingerboard curvature and bridge arc make 3 string playing possible in upper positions with low bow tension.
• Steel strings are well suited for a responsive clear sound.
• Three string rolls, double stops and shuffles are produced with ease.
• Pick-up is jacked 1/4".
• State of the art pick-ups are designed and set up for 'metal'.
• Ceramic pick-ups have very high impedance that require amplifiers with electronic line balancing for optimization.
• Add pick-ups to any desired location for the sound that suits your present need .....i.e. acoustic, jazz, metal, country, etc.
• No battery is required.
• Maintenance is as simple as a slightly oiled cotton cloth for wipe down except on bowing section of strings.
• Rosewood or ebony tapered pegs are used.
• Violin can be used without amplifier for practice and ear training.
• Two necks are available...circular or small t rail...small t rail is not always available.
• Each violin is played during set-up on a small inexpensive amp so assurance of playability and only better sound will be attained by end user.
• The history of these violins.....after making, modifying, repairing and upgrading a wide variety of instruments, made of a combination of wood, plastics, grp, carbon fiber, etc., more and more aluminum components were being used to improve durability.   With the end results being favorable, the natural progression was to a mono light weight structure that was rigid and low maintenance, with a sound that is appealing and clean  -  'Evolution Series' <less is more>
• These fabricated instruments are not symmetical - they are designed to fit the human form.
• This instrument is a great solo performance tool.
• Design lends itself for LED internal lighting for stage functions, no resonating hollow body feedback.
• Chorus, delay, reverb, etc. are not restricted.
• Audience and musician hear identical performance.
• Recording engineering is reduced and, upstairs clean concert volume is a reality.
• My experience has been that with heavy use, and/or abused instruments, most musical instrument outlets have on hand any items needed for repairs.
• All parts are visible and external.
