Jordan 7 string violin Flamed Maple

Choose a 7 string Jordan if you want a violin that also sounds like a viola, cello, and even a bass! With a high quality amplifier, you will be shocked at the depth and richness of tone. Finding your way around on 7 strings takes some getting used to, but it is not an unreasonable size or weight! Tuned E-A-D-G-C-F-B flat, yet alternate tunings are possible also. Try E-A-D-G-C-G-C (tuning the lower 2 strings a step above their designed pitch) or E-A-D-G-C-D-A (tuning the lower 2 strings below their designed pitches).

Improvisers be warned - you will find yourself doing things you've never dreamed of!

This instrument is made from beautiful flamed maple of medium to broad curl. It has a transparent amber finish that really brings out the figure of the wood.

The volume control is on the end of the body, right where you want it for fast adjustments. The tuners are smaller diameter than the 5 string tuners, so they are much easier to isolate and adjust. By eliminating the scroll, Jordan ergonomically concentrates the violin's weight right over the attached shoulder pad (it will never fall off!). You will like the placement of the tuners they do both fine and coarse tuning.

Includes a nice oblong violin case, modified by John to fit the violin.
