Description
Overview:
The NS WAV Electric Violin is the perfect electric violin for any player interested in exploring the world of amplified or electronic performance. Full, natural tone, outstanding comfort, and sophisticated design are combined in these instruments for unmatched performance. Light weight and good balance are the essential comfort factors for any electric violin. The fully carved interior of the NS WAV Electric Violin keeps the weight to the minimum, and the body mounted tuners bring the center of gravity back over the shoulder where it belongs. The WAV includes the Custom Shoulder Rest, which allows you to shape and adjust the padded base to the contours of your shoulder and chest, for a secure and comfortable fit. Also included with the instrument is the ergonomically contoured ebony chin rest, designed to work in tandem with the Custom Shoulder Rest for control, comfort and security.
The WAV Violins include a graduated ebony fingerboard, a smooth and fast neck, and a removable bout for accurate position reference. Each instrument is designed around the NS Polar Pickup System with it’s unique ability to analyze the direction of string vibration to enhance the bowed response and to facilitate bow technique. Since 100% of the sound comes via the pickup, using looping and other electronic effects is easy and far more effective than with an amplified acoustic. The unusually powerful piezo crystals do not require on-board power, for maintenance-free performance without the hassle of batteries.
