There are a lot of crappy players out there playing crappy instruments through crappy gear and they give the rest of us a bad name. Every single instrument in our shop sounds good when a good player plays it through a good amp.
@@ElectricViolinShop each to their own, but I come from a Scottish trad background where we don’t really like bright and cut through type fiddle. Our graph eq’s go completely south after 1k. We call it the liz carrol sound
Any suggestion on how to be sure that you can hear yourself properly when things gets loud on stage and the audio system doesn't really help with monitors or stuff? Maybe some can kind of in-ear that can be directly connected to an electric violin? :)
Yeah - you wouldn't want your in-ears connected directly to your violin. How are you going to hear everybody else on stage? I generally wear in-ear monitors when I'm on a loud stage for two reasons - I want to be able to hear when I'm 70 and I want to be able to hear myself right now. I have myself pretty up front in my monitors, but I've got everybody else in there, too. Music is interactive. You have to be able to hear your bandmates.
@@ElectricViolinShop thank you for your answer, for some reason I missed it back then :) after asking it I found your video on this specific topic, and it was really really helpful!
A lot of effects (specially older ones made for guitar or bass) are designed with a high input impedance, and usually you want to match what your gear is expecting. That being said, you should try both if you can and see how you like it
I’m wondering if there is such a thing as left handed violin. I’m left handed and play guitar and heard violin is very difficult and am looking for a challenge.
I have a passive violin & playing through a Fishman loudbox, should I be using a pre-amp then to get full volume? Especially when using a POG octaver I've noticed a drop in volume...
one of the few electrics I liked the sound of

I'm a guitar player and feel like I'm losing my touch when I play through active pickups for too long
Do You guys have any Electric cellos?

Output impoedance, not input impedance. Still, a nice explanation :)
Have no fucking clue what your talking about but you know your shit
Well, I snowed you.
What do you use the passive mode for?
When your battery dies.
A vacuum tube amp, or a solid state amp with high input impedance (can be done with opamps and FETs).

@@ElectricViolinShop oh thank you so much! I didn’t see this video!

What violin has the most strings
On a single neck, 9 is the most I’ve heard of. It’s essentially unplayable.
What pre-amp would you recommend to a NXT5 (no active mode)?
You'll have to let your ears be your guide. ruclips.net/video/zhCi_CKvBDk/видео.html
@@ElectricViolinShop thanks man, huge fan!
