Realist RV5PE Pro Electro Acoustic Violin Outfit

Full Description

Thoughtful Design

By using the historic combination of a maple body with a solid spruce top, the Realist RV5PE produces a focused sound with plenty of body. But RV5PE doesn't use normal spruce. By using Carpathian spruce, the Realist violin produces an even more beautiful tone compared to similar violins. Thanks to the natural properties of wood, this sound will continue to improve over time. And now with the additional C string, you can start to play in the viola register.

The real magic of the Realist violin happens when you plug it into an amp. The world-renowned integrated David Gage pickup system delivers all the nuances of the violin's true sound. By retaining the organic properties of the violin when amplified or acoustic, you don't need to adapt when switching. And thanks to the clever design of the pickup system, it can easily be removed for repair without compromising the instrument's structural integrity.

At the back of the violin you will find the input jack strategically placed. This enables the cable to go over your shoulder so it doesn't interrupt your performance. For even more convenience, the volume knob is integrated into the treble-side rib, and is finished with the same varnish as the violin to blend in.

Precision Engineering

Weighing in at 54g, the Musings C2 carbon bow is significantly stronger than traditional bows Carbon fibre bows don't expand or warp with variations in temperature or humidity and are much less likely to snap. Because of this, carbon fibre bows are widely used for orchestral tours, outside performances, or even for extended col legno passages. Thanks to the carbon material, the C2 bow offers a transparent sound that helps to develop perfect intonation. High-end features such as the stainless steel winding, ring, and tip help to accentuate performances while also giving the bow a luxurious feel.

Optimum Playability

The Helicore violin set is one of the most popular string sets on the market. The focussed tone and incredible bow response make these strings perfect for classical, alternative, bluegrass, and electric instrument players. Scaled to fit a full-size violin, the medium tension strings are optimised to the needs of the majority of players. The Helicore violin set is created to have a very short break in time, often settling in a matter of hours, making them perfect for someone who's seeking tonal clarity, without being overly bright.

Ultimate Protection

The Orchestra Carbon Violin Case is a lightweight and secure way of storing and transporting your violin. Thanks to the carbon composite shell, the case only weighs 1.6kg - approximately half of a standard case. Featuring locking clips and a moveable padded block interior, the Orchestra carbon case will keep your violin safe at all times. Transporting the case couldn't be easier thanks to the padded shoulder straps and two handles.
