Volta Violinatron V6 Hybrid 6-string Electric Violin with Speakers, Reverb, & Looper

The Volta Violinatron is the first of its kind, a hybrid electric violin with a built-in rechargeable battery, amplifier, and speakers. This V6-RL also features reverb as well as looper! This violin offers both an unplugged and amplified experience unlike anything else on the market.

The Violinatron shines atsolo performances, especially in poor acoustical settings where an acoustic instrument would struggle. When playing in these locations such as outdoors, a busy street corner, the park, or a noisy restaurant, you can enjoy a gorgeous reverb and project slightly more than an acoustic violin, while completely free from cables or the need for an external amplifier. It’s the perfect strolling or busking instrument.

When you’re ready for the bigger stages, simply plug the Violinatron into an amplifier as you would with any other electric violin using the 1/4″ built in jack. The built in speakers act as a monitor for you to hear what you’re playing just like you’re accustomed to. Switch from the active pickup mode which captures more of the sound from the body of the instrument, to passive to capture purely the bridge pickup (and play even if the battery is dead) without the speakers on.

The Violinatron is the first violin that facilitatesthese three playing experiences with one instrument.
