The new Cremona SV-180BKE solid-body electric violin offers a world of tonal possibilities for students, amateurs and pro players alike! The powerful piezo pickup combines with a unique rosewood bridge to provide a natural, warm violin tone that can be amplified to any level the player desires. You can plug in the headphones for practice or plug into your favorite amp in a performance situation. The solid hardwood body keeps feedback to a minimum and the fingerboard and all trimmings are genuine ebony for beauty and utility. The lower bout is designed to accept any chinrest and shoulder-pad of your choosing and a lightweight composite tailpiece with 4 built-in fine tuners is standard. With its lightweight rigid foam case and a quality Brazil wood bow included, add to that a set of D'Addario Prelude strings and a professional setup, this is an amazing bargain that sets the new standard in electric violins!
