Frequently Asked Questions

The direct-passive output provides a more raw, uncolored signal, while the volume control adds a subtle preamp and EQ shaping the tone.
The neck is a standard violin profile, moderately slim, and should be comfortable for most hand sizes, though very large hands might find it a touch snug.
Bowed tones are generally acceptable, though lacking in dynamic range; pizzicato sounds surprisingly punchy and percussive, making it quite versatile.
