Detail 01
Polar pickup system
Magnetic pickup under the strings rather than a mic, so it stays clean at high stage volume.

NS DesignWAV 4 Electric Violin Black
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A solid-body 4-string electric violin at $789. For an acoustic player who needs a stage-ready, feedback-free instrument and doesn't want an amplified acoustic.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Loud stages where an acoustic violin feeds back
- Direct recording into an interface without mics or room noise
- Practicing quietly at home through headphones and an amp
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Classical players who need an unamplified acoustic tone
- Anyone wanting a plug-and-play kit with amp and cable
- Players who dislike a frameless, skeletal body shape
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Volume and tone controls
Two knobs only. You shape the sound at the amp or preamp, not on the instrument.
Detail 03
Maple body and neck
Solid maple is dense and stiff, keeping the response tight and even across the range.
Detail 04
Ebony fingerboard
Hard and slick under fingers, same feel as a quality acoustic violin, and resists grooving.
Detail 05
Removable bout
The upper arm rest comes off, so you can set the arm angle or strip it back entirely.
Detail 06
Tail-mounted precision tuners
All tuning happens at the tail, no scroll pegs. Finer adjustment and less slipping between sets.
Detail 07
Fully adjustable shoulder rest
Height and angle set to your body instead of clamping a third-party rest onto the instrument.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01No amp, cable or case included. Budget for all three.
- 02Solid body means almost no unplugged volume. You will always need an amp.
- 03Set the shoulder rest and bout angle before judging the feel.
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Can I play it without an amp?
Only barely. The solid body produces very little acoustic sound, which is useful for silent practice but means an amp or headphone rig is required to be heard.
02Does it use regular violin strings?
It takes standard violin strings, but they anchor at the tail-mounted tuning machines rather than at pegs, so allow extra time the first time you restring.
03What colors does it come in?
Amber burst, black and transparent red. This one is black.
04Does it fit a normal violin case?
No. The body outline and tail hardware differ from an acoustic violin, so look for a case built for this shape.
