The Viper's wings envelope you, while its adjustable shoulder strap and support arm system hold the instrument, leaving you hands free to dance, jump about, play keys, or rock the mic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eWood Violins standard frets are what we call “locator” frets, because they provide a visual and tactile means of locating a pitch on the fingerboard but, unlike guitar-style frets, they are somewhat flattened and do not “break” the string. Therefore, you place finger on top of the fret to play in tune. This clever design also means that vibrato and glissando are not inhibited by the raised fret. Mark Wood’s patented dot pattern aids in finding 5th, Octave, 12th and other important positions on the fretboard.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eThe Viper PRO is equipped with a \u003cstrong\u003eForteVio Viper pickup\u003c\/strong\u003e, specially designed by ForteVio's Valentin Hristov to fit and sound great with the Viper!
