Its innovative Polar pickup system and incredibly advanced onboard preamp and tone controls allow you to tailor the sound and playing experience to suit anything from classical bowed tone to a clear, sustaining pizzicato, to a smooth electric violin sound that is modern and ideally suited for signal processing. Anyway you want to go, the CR can get you there!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eOverview\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned by Ned Steinberger, the CR violin has a remarkable tonal range due to its innovative Polar™ Pickup System, which is able to selectively capture the string vibration favored for both bow and pizzicato technique with stunning brilliance and sensitivity. The violinist who prefers the elegant tone of a fine acoustic will not be disappointed, and for those who wish to explore new sonic territory, the sky is the limit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe solid-body NS Electric Violin incorporates the familiar performance features of an acoustic instrument, including a removable bout segment to provide the left-hand reference position of a traditional instrument. Traditional string spacing and scale length facilitate the transition from the acoustic instrument to the world of the electric violin. Direct amplification and recording capabilities allow the violinist to experience the vast range of electronic and amplified performance opportunities, yet continue to savor the essence and timeless magic of the violin.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eOptions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e4, 5, or 6-string:\u003c\/b\u003e Going for a more traditional playing experience? Stick with the CR4. If, on the other hand, you want to extend your range by a 5th go for the CR5. You'll be able to play lower root notes in more keys and cover viola parts. Feeling a little low? Go for the CR6, which adds a low-F (only a P4 above the cellos low C!).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eStandard or Fretted:\u003c\/b\u003e The standard option hand-graded ebony fingerboard will feel totally at home to traditional and classical players.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe fretted fingerboard option is great for players who like the visual and tactile aid for finger positioning and\/or for musicians in loud bands where frets are helpful for intonation. The fretboard also allows you to explore chord shapes and fingering patterns in a similar fashion to guitar playing--great for expanding your improvisational repertoire!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSOLID MAPLE BODY AND NECK:\u003c\/b\u003e The CR Violin is crafted of solid maple, with an elegant flame maple face. This lightweight solid-body design transfers the full spectrum of sound to the pickup without feedback, and is very stable even with changes in temperature and humidity. The ergonomic shoulder and chin rest provide comfortable, stable support, and a removable treble side bout is included for left hand position reference. The solid ebony fingerboard is hand graduated for consistent string articulation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePERFORMANCE SUPPORT SYSTEMS:\u003c\/b\u003e The CR Violin comes equipped with the Custom Shoulder Rest which can be formed by the player to fit the body perfectly. The ergonomically contoured ebony chin rest is designed to work in tandem with the Custom Shoulder Rest for control, comfort and security. The Adjustable Chin Rest is optional, offering a range of positions for individual fit, style and comfort, providing entirely new levels of ergonomic support. As an option, the violin can also attach to NS Design's revolutionary Balanced Shoulder Rest which secures it effortlessly in optimal playing position.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBRIDGE PICKUP:\u003c\/b\u003e The Polar directional piezo pickup system responds selectively to either vertical vibration (for the sustained plucked sound, like a mandolin), or lateral vibration (for dynamic bowing, and a percussive plucked sound).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eACTIVE ELECTRONICS:\u003c\/b\u003e The dual mode preamp allows the player to choose between two very distinct tone qualities. The first mode delivers the full frequency response of modern low impedance electronics, for a rich, full-blown \"electric violin\" sound. The second is balanced to produce the frequency response of the traditional violin, for a more \"acoustic\" sound. A three-way toggle switch allows the player to select the desired pickup and electronics options. Additional controls include volume and individual bass EQ \u0026amp; treble EQ controls.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePRECISION TUNING HARDWARE:\u003c\/strong\u003e With the NS Design patented tuning system, remarkably precise and stable tuning is accomplished entirely behind the bridge, in the manner similar to the fine tuners of an acoustic instrument. With the elimination of the traditional scroll and pegs, weight is shifted in towards the body of the player for optimum comfort. Although specially formulated NS Electric Violin Strings from D'Addario™ are recommended, any standard solid or stranded core violin string will fit the NS Violin.
