Overview
A violinist who wants to practice without waking the house gets this Silent Series model, which reproduces body resonance through Studio Response Technology. A slim control box adds reverb and a jack for play-along tracks.
Acoustic feel with headphone-only volume is the reason to buy, and the control box makes it easy to practice against recordings. Because the output is electronic, it will not replace an acoustic violin for unplugged playing.
Who it's for
Made for a player moving over from a traditional violin who needs a refined practice instrument with an acoustic response. Anyone who plans to perform unplugged will still want a conventional acoustic.
Pros and cons
- Aux input for play-along
- Weight not listed
- Needs earphones or amp for sound
- Powder coated finish, not varnished
Performance notes
Piezo pickups and Studio Response Technology reproduce the left and right channel volume, frequency response and delay of an acoustic violin body. The control box blends reverb and the aux signal into the headphone mix, so you hear the instrument as if in a room.
