Frequently Asked Questions

Polar piezo pickups generally offer a more natural acoustic-like tone than many other electric violin pickups, lacking some of the harshness often associated with cheaper systems.
Absolutely; ebony provides a harder, smoother surface for improved bow response and a more consistent playing feel, a noticeable improvement over common alternatives.
While it reduces the natural resonance of a hollow body, the solid maple construction provides a surprising amount of sustain, especially when amplified, and helps control feedback.
