Wow thanks you sound great on both! Really interesting to hear the difference
Thanks, Ruth! Both great instruments. Subscribe and catch my other demos! All the best!
I played a NS wav for a few years and I own a Cantini too, but in retrospective the playability and ease of playing I think the NS wins. I’m playing now a YEV5 and rarely even pick the Cantini up.
Cool! You should check out my recent pedal reviews. Full pedalboard DEMO here: ruclips.net/video/q9OBoYS0l0w/видео.html
If I were still playing the EV and looking to purchase, it would be a Cantini, hands down. Regardless of its MIDI capability, which is formidable, it is just about the best sounding instrument out there right now in its own right.
H, Cantini is getting better and better! Something pretty cool about the magnetic pick-ups. T
got the n's wav4 few years back and sound amazing. you can rely on it as stage performance instrument.
Yes, NS is awesome. Reliable. Great tone and really comfortable to play. T
Great demo and playing. Bravo, thanks for that. I prefer the sound of the NS. IMHO, one can make a more "acoustic" sounding violin produce weird electric/electronic sounds easier than having a harsher piezo-ey more typical electric fake acoustic (you fall victim to endless EQ-ing, as I can testify from own bitter experience)
+Urban Soban Thanks for the feedback! . Check this clip out as well and let me know your thoughts re. the NS in action: ruclips.net/video/lOvebyWKZ80/видео.html
They aren't exactly "Gayford Carbon Strads" but sound pretty good anyway (tongue in cheek) . I prefer the Cantini. Though they both sound good, its personal preference.
:-) ... thanks Fred! Both have great sounds - just different ...
👍👍👍
Thanks, VISITSKI! All the best! 👍T
It seems there is more bow noise with the NS. I've tried the NS, and like most bridge pickups, there's lots of bow noise. I'm very interested in the Cantini tracking. Back in the day I had a Zeta jazz MIDI, but the tracking was absolutely pitiful. I might try to email you. I hate to go down to Raleigh to the EV Shop to try it, it's a long way. --- I agree with you that the Roland sounds lousy. I want to use the instrument for synth string sounds, but it has to track.
Hey Alex, I think you also emailed me, right? ... I haven't noticed more bow noise on the NS ... just a different more airy sound, which I also like ... take care, T

is that a roland AC amp you're using?
Yes, sir. the Roland AC-60 is my main "monitoring" amp ... works great!
sir how is gr 55 with 6 strings viper ?
It won't work with the 6-string Viper. Viper's don't have MIDI technology (pick-ups). All the best, bhargav! T
Which ns model is it?
+Riju Ray (Gimli) Hi Riju, The NS is a CR5 Model: thinkns.com/prices/instruments.php - All the best! Here is another link my NS in action: ruclips.net/video/lOvebyWKZ80/видео.html
Actually i hav never played an electric violin before! My parents are gonna get me one as i did good in my exams this year.. So i am just thinking of getting a ns design violin for a start...And Thanks!! Yeah i hav seen that !! And i really liked Gabriella!!It was awesome!!
Ns is the Best
Cantini sounds more alive.
It is a different pick-up system + will drive MIDI. A cool instrument. Here is another clip of the Cantini "in action" with the MIDI engaged: ruclips.net/video/d8Toco4el3w/видео.html
