INST-RV(__)
The Realist Violin

New! The Realist Violin is a carved wood violin. Its sound is produced by the finely crafted spruce top and elegantly molded maple ribs and back. Quality wood and a well-tested violin design make the Realist Violin's acoustic tone recognizably sweet and rich.
The built-in Realist Transducer delivers all of the natural luster of the instrument's true sound. The electronics are all discretely placed, so most won't notice it is an electric violin.
