The Realist RV5Pe Pro E-Series Frantique 5-String Violin

The Realist's new amplified-acoustic RV5Pe Pro is a Romanian made 5-string violin with a fully carved premium choice Carpathian spruce top, set up here in the USA, and featuring The Realist's much admired pickup system. It features a volume and tone knob right on the instrument.Thoughtful DesignThe input jack is carefully built into the back, where it's easily accessed and allows the patch cable to be dressed away, out of sight and out of the player's way. The volume knob, integrated in the treble-side rib, is camouflaged in the color of the violin's varnish.Unparalleled Sound Color & TextureThe built-in Realist Transducer delivers all the natural luster of the instrument's true sound. The violin retains its organic qualities when amplified or acoustic, so there's no need for the player to adapt. The pickup system is completely serviceable; the electronics are easily removed for repair without compromising the instrument's structural integrity.
