The NXT electric violin opens up a new horizon for the serious musician seeking to play a world-class electric violin on a limited budget. Available as 4 or 5 string, these instruments, crafted in the Czech Republic by the makers of NS Design's renowned CR series, exemplify flawless workmanship at an incredible value.
Light weight and perfect balance are critical performance factors, and the NXT electric violin tops the charts as one of the lightest in its class.
Additional weight is saved by advanced piezo technology that eliminates the need for heavy on-board batteries and circuitry. The self-powered Polar? electromechanical transducer, technically referred to as a passive pickup, is anything but passive, with higher output than most active systems. The result is unsurpassed dynamic range, clarity, and sheer power.
As adaptable as it is powerful, the NXT adjusts easily to any violinist's style. A contoured ebony chin rest is standard. So is the Custom Shoulder Rest which is fully adjustable, and whose base can be readily formed to fit the chest and shoulder perfectly. The optional Adjustable Chin Rest is also available for players wanting a more extensive range of position adjustments for further customized fit and comfort. The NXT electric violin also accepts NS Design's revolutionary Balanced Shoulder Rest, which secures it effortlessly in optimal playing position. Using set screws, the rock-maple bridge can be readily adjusted to the desired action height?high and powerful, low and fast, or anywhere in between.
