Frequently Asked Questions

The Polar pickup draws power directly from the included battery; it's a clever design eliminating the need for an external power supply, and it typically provides 6-8 hours of playing time.
The neck profile is designed to be familiar to traditional players, but it’s slightly thinner and has a more consistent feel across the fingerboard for improved playability.
It prioritizes a natural, acoustic-like tone; you won't get a huge range of effects, but it’s ideal for players seeking a clean, amplified viola sound without added coloration.
