An electric violin without a resonance body, enabling performance anytime and anywhere.
Description
Overview:
The first model of the Silent Violin™ series. By eliminating the resonance body and adopting a frame-only structure, this electric violin achieves exceptional quietness while preserving the playing feel of an acoustic violin. It gained strong support from violin players seeking solutions to practice environment constraints. Since its release, the series has continued to evolve for over a quarter century through model updates and the expansion of stage-performance-oriented versions.
