The shoulder strap and chest support system is a revelation; the Viper feels like it just floats, allowing you to jump, dance, and sing without interfering with your playing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003ePhantom Frets\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eFrets are intended to help ensure that violinists playing in loud environments (e.g. rock band with guitar and drums) can play in tune even when they can’t hear themselves particularly well. Frets also give the fingerboard a visual component that some players find creatively helpful and assist in transposing finger patterns into different keys.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eWood Violins’ “Phantom” frets are real frets that have been filed down even with the surface of the fingerboard to provide a visual means of locating a pitch on the fingerboard.  Mark Wood’s patented dot pattern aids in finding 5th, Octave, 12th and other important positions on the fretboard. For players who find the feel of raised frets unnatural but still want the visual aid for pitch location (or simply because frets look cool), then Phantom frets are a perfect compromise!\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003ch3\u003eChest Strap \u0026amp;Support System\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eWood Violins' patented chest support system gives you the freedom to move around on stage, step up to the mic, or whatever you need to do, and the instrument sounds as good as it looks.
