Frequently Asked Questions

Passive piezo pickups capture the string vibration directly, offering a more natural acoustic-like tone but with less flexibility for EQ and effects compared to active systems.
Yes, the ebony fingerboard is finished with a durable gloss lacquer, similar to what you'd find on a traditional acoustic violin, providing a smooth and consistent playing surface.
The solid body construction significantly reduces feedback compared to hollow-body electric violins, but careful amp placement and EQ adjustments are still recommended at extremely high volumes.
