Acoustic/Electric Violins

If you want an instrument for both acoustic and amplified settings, consider an electro-acoustic violin. This has a hollow body you can hear just like your regular violin, and built-in electronics for amplification. Despite the hollow body, most of these will not feed back unless you get really loud.

Brands of acoustic/electric violins available from EVS:

EVS Line of Acoustic/Electric Violins

We select a well-crafted violin from a variety of makers, and equip it with a transducer bridge so you can sound good whether you are using an amplifier or not. Typically, there is a volume control on the output jack, which is clamped to the body just like a chinrest. Read more about our line at the EVS AE-30 Acoustic/Electric Violin

We sometimes have available, or can custom make for you, 5-string models, and even left-handed violins.

The Neolin

EVS is proud to be the only Neolin dealer in the United States. Hand crafted by French master violin maker Bodo Vosshenrich, the Neolin brings new tone, features and flexibility to the acoustic-electric violin niche. Blaise met Bodo while his instruments were on a luthier tour organized by a French-American trade organization. He truly blends the classical violin making craft with modern design aesthetics, and with an innovative sound palette.

The Gage Realist Violin

David Gage has combined his nice-sounding pickup design with an acoustic violin with a unique jack output placement. The volume knob is very unobtrusive on the middle bout.

Barcus-Berry Violins

Barcus-Berry has been electrifying violins for decades. The latest Barcus Berry acoustic electric violins boast an improved sound - and a great choice of colors. Supplied with the Barcus-Berry piezo bridge and 1/4 inch output jack, with a volume knob on the top.

Epoch Violin

An Australian acoustic/electric violin design with floating flat top and back. It has a full acoustic sound, is weather resistant, and is available in lots of bright colors. The sonic design hearkens back to the crwth, a medieval Welsh stringed instrument, that had one foot of the bridge act as the soundpost, extending through the top to rest on the back of the instrument. The bridge is thin and easily replaced for higher action or different string curvature. Amplified tone is excellent.
