NS Design Wave Electric Violin with Case $599 Its powerful sound, unmatched playability and tough design ensure that the NS Wav Electric Violin will bring years of use with a price tag that makes sense for any level of player. The NS Design WAV Electric Violin offers a rock maple bridge that is easily adjustable for the playing style and action height you prefer, while the ebony fingerboard is graduated for each string to optimize the tone and playability of every note. The smooth maple neck provides traditional thumb reference points for the scroll and heel and the removable bout provides accurate position reference for players accustomed to using the traditional body shape for reference. NS Design Wave 4 Electric Violin Features Polar Pickup System with great natural sound, with volume and tone controls Ebony Fingerboard shaped for effortless play Maple Neck and body for rich tone and Visual grace Precision tuners are accurate, rock-stable and rarely need adjustment Light Weight with highly carved interior for light comfort Ergonomic Shoulder Rest provides stable, comfortable and fully adjustable support Includes hard case that accommodates two bows Polar and Trade Pickup At the heart of every NS electric violin is the Polar and Trade pickup system. Sensor and bridge geometry are integrated to translate every nuance to the amplifier and speaker system. The big, bold, and brilliant tone looks to the future, yet the sonic ingredients of the acoustic violin are present and can be tamed to become traditional in character. The Polar pickup has the unique ability to analyze the direction of string vibration to enhance the bowed response and to facilitate bow technique. The unusually powerful piezo crystals do not require on-board power, for maintenance-free performance without the hassle of batteries. Tuning Stability Accurate, stable tuners are the key to in-tune performance. The patented self-clamping tuning mechanism automatically grips the string ever more tightly as tension is applied, and the micrometer tuning is smooth and precise. This set-it and forget-it tuning is light-years ahead of the friction tuners found on traditional instruments. Comfortable Design Light weight and good balance are the essential comfort factors for any electric violin. The fully carved interior of the NS WAV Violin keeps the weight to the minimum, and the body mounted tuners bring the center of gravity back over the shoulder where it belongs. The shoulder rest is contoured and padded to provide stable support, and is fully adjustable accommodate differences in playing styles and body types. Included Case The NS WAV violin comes complete with fabric covered hard foam case, padded on the inside, with room for 2 bows, shoulder rest, output cable, and extra gear. |
