Vibrant sound and beautiful to look at – this is an acoustic-electric violin with an ornamented maple fingerboard and sides.  The top is made of European Spruce and the corners and back are flamed maple.  Can be played acoustically or can be plugged in to a sound system.  The built in electric system allows control over tone and volume when plugged in.  You just need a quarter inch cable into the lower right side of the violin and you’re set to go.  Alternatively, a Line 6 Relay G10, originally created for guitar, will make it play wireless, works perfectly, from own experience.  $1200 with a foam case and a bow.  Open to reasonable offers, too.
