Its piezo pickup captures the rich resonance of its body, along with vibrato and other nuances. Beyond that, a second bridge pickup picks up string vibrations, ensuring that attack and bowing subtleties are accurately reproduced. A pickup blend control allows you to find the optimal balance between the two pickups.   Easy control and connectivity The SV-255’s streamlined control box clips to your belt or another convenient location. Use it to tweak your sound with a volume control and 2-band EQ, while you monitor through headphones with independent volume control. The Silent Violin Pro features a line output for sending your signal to an amplifier or effects unit, as well as a balanced XLR output for running straight into a PA or console.   Natural sound and playability If you play a traditional violin, you’ll enjoy the SV-255. It weighs roughly the same, and its tailpiece, neck, and tuning pegs are identical — you can even use a standard shoulder rest! Its chambered body yields a deep resonance that comes remarkably close to an acoustic violin and provides a familiar, intimate playing feel.   Features: 5-string solidbody electric violin with realistic acoustic toneHollow chamber exhibits natural-sounding resonanceDual pickup design captures every nuance of your playingPickup blend control allows you to find the optimal balance between the two pickupsStreamlined control box with volume, 2-band EQ, headphone output, line output, and XLR outputProvides easy switchover from a traditional acoustic violin
