NS CR4 Electric Violin’s innovative design looks intriguingly different, yet it has the feel and the sound of a traditional violin. NS Design's CR Electric Violin, available in both four and 5-string models, standard and fretted, is the preeminent electric violin on the market today.
Designed by Ned Steinberger, the violin has a remarkable tonal range due to its innovative Polar™ Pickup System, which is able to selectively capture the string vibration favoured for both bow and pizzicato techniques 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 the new sonic territory, the sky is the limit. The 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.

Features:
SOLID MAPLE BODY AND NECK: 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.
PERFORMANCE SUPPORT SYSTEMS:
The CR Violin comes equipped with the Custom Shoulder Rest, which the player can form to fit the body perfectly. The ergonomically contoured ebony chin rest is designed to work 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.
BRIDGE PICKUP: 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).
ACTIVE ELECTRONICS: The dual mode preamp allows players 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 players to select the desired pickup and electronics options. Additional controls include volume and individual bass EQ & treble EQ controls.
PRECISION TUNING HARDWARE: With the NS Design patented tuning system, remarkably precise and stable tuning is accomplished entirely behind the bridge in a manner similar to the fine tuners of an acoustic instrument. With the elimination of the traditional scroll and pegs, weight is shifted towards the player's body for optimum comfort. Any standard violin string will fit the NS Violin, although specially formulated NS Electric Violin Strings from D'Addario™ are recommended.
VIOLIN CADDY (Optional): Designed to cradle NS Design violins, the Violin Caddy unit mounts to any mic stand with a standard 5/8 inch thread and provides the player with ready-to-grab convenience, in the studio or on the stage.
