The Realist RV-4E combines Realist pickup technology, discreet controls and exceptional electronics with good quality acoustic instrument bodies sourced from Europe. Acoustic tone is strong and clear under the ear, but it really opens up when it's plugged in, with a powerful output and great amplified tone.
With great amplified tone and resistance to feedback, the RV-4E makes a good choice for players who want to keep the overtones and harmonics of an acoustic instrument while still being able to be heard in higher volume situations. With an almost-invisible volume knob in the C bout on the treble side, and an output jack discreetly located in the corner block on the back of the violin, it's also great for players who need to play amplified but desire a more traditional appearance on-stage.
This instrument is lightly antiqued, but a shiny clear coat gives it more of a "new" look than its earlier Chinese counterparts. Under the ear, the RV4e's acoustic tone is good, strong and pure if not exactly complex. Once you plug it in, the RV4e really opens up, and its clear, rich amplified tone shows why the Realist pickup is one of the most popular on the market, providing both a powerful output and excellent balance across the instrument's range.
Fully set-up by Electric Violin Shop to play and sound great. Price includes a Realist violin case.
