- Wooh, I got to play on a Viper violin by Mark Wood! It was awesome, but... different. ;-)
This 5-string fretted Viper electric violin in the color "Cherry Burst Quilt" belongs to Tharick, who is one of my subscribers. He messaged me and asked if I wanted to come over and try it. Well, ofcourse!
I've been looking at Viper violins for a while, and I think they look awesome. Not sure yet if I'm going to buy one anytime soon, but there's gotta be something on your wishlist, right?
A big thank you to Tharick for letting me play on the Viper violin, without doubt one of the coolest violins in the world!

Cheers, it was a pleasure to have you here :)
Thanks for having me, Tharick! ✨
Nice to see one of her subscribers in her video. You did a great job Tharick 👏
That is such a cool violin and you both played beautifully!! 👏😄 looks pretty hard to play, but you did a great job! A blue, 5 string viper violin would be my go to, but I dont think I'm planning on getting one, for the same reason that you gave lol. Also, your hair looked great in this video 🙌
Thank you so much, Grace! 🧡✨ A blue one would indeed be cool and stand out (many instruments are brown/red).
A flying V electric violin? That's cool as hell
I guess that proves that fretted instruments are not easier because of the frets .
I'm a electric bass player (fretted and fretless ) ,when I sometime play guitar I have to get used to not pulling the strings out of tune with too much finger pressure .
I just loved it!
Tobacco subburst for shure is the one that looks like a guitar.
I play the guitar so that's why I choose a violin with frets and 6 strings.
I'm planning to fix my grandfather's violin...someday...and just because I use to watch your videos.
Regards from Rio!
Thanks! And yes, the brown colors always look nice! A 6-string violin would be tuned FCGDAE (instead of EADGBE) so at least one string will be the same. 😉
@@MarijkeViolin not mine.
Not from a guitarrist.
Look at my picture.
Lol
OMGGG!!!! Amazinggg aaaaaaaaaaa
Thanks, it was really fun! 😊✨
Tobacco Burst Quilt, 4 strings, probably fretted!!! But it’s too expensive for me xD
Nice! 4 strings would definitely be a smoother transition. And yes, these are very expensive!
So cool you got to try one!😲💃🎶🎵 Hope I someday can try one aswell 🎻🎶
Yes, it really was cool! It really takes time to get used to it though, and the frets don't really make playing any easier. The "margin for error" is slightly bigger with frets, but it requires a different left hand approach. My conclusion was I'd rather have a violin without frets.
What a journey you've taken. And now you are so good. And still gorgeous. And I had never heard of the violin so that was very cool as well.
Thank you so much for saying! 😊
The viper violin makes a powerful sound, so I can see why it appeals to rock musicians. Personally, I prefer the sound of a traditional violin. That being said, I do like the colours being offered!
☺️
NSDesign also makes 5 stringed fretted violins that are easier to get an accoustic sound out of.
This video has a fun vibe =)
I think the like the tabbaco or the lime green best. I already have one 5 stringed violin, and for the viper I would like the fretted one because I got none of those (a mando is notba violin). It depends on how easy those fretted violins are to play above 7th position.
You are guys are so happy to live next. I love video game music too.
Wooh, lime green would really stand out! Fretted versus unfretted feels like a completely different instrument when you play it.
Oh my goodness, in a heartbeat I'd have a Viper! Blue burl, 4-string fretless, I'd get a new wah-wah, and find a band! That was a wonderful video and you both made it sound easy. Thank you for sharing that. (A friend calls my current electric a Queensryche violin because of the shape. It's awkward and heavy but has a nice sound. I just now live in a small town with no opportunities to play. In the city I was 60+ years old playing Velvet Underground and alternative originals, and loving it! "Yes" to a Viper!) Also I really enjoy your channel, and learning from you (vibrato challenge.)
That's really nice to hear, thank you! It's always nice to hear my videos are either helpful or inspiring. 😊
Yup. Had to wait 26 months for my custom Viper to arrive.
over 2 years 😭
You played rhis violin beautifully but will always love a classical looking violin. 🎻🎻🎻🎻🎻
I could never abandon my acoustic violin. Electrics are a nice bonus though. 😉
@@MarijkeViolin yeah Acoustic string instruments have somethething in its sound you cannot replicate with any type of pickup - amp - and speaker system ...
As you said electrics a nice bonus though (or if you want to have effects and stuff) ... im more of a guitarist and my violin playing is very very bad ... still i got 2. (only one is a real violin) first one i bought as a kid is more like a wallhanger though not a real violin ... i mean you can kinda play it but it sounds terrible acousticly since its cheap chinese plywood... yeah i know .... I fell for that... just didnt scrap that thing yet coz i have the idea in my head to one day make it into a Electric violin , by opening it putting a block of wood in there to make it more mute (like a semi hollow electric guitar) and putting a small preamp with piezo pickup in there. Solid body electric violins like the viper actually gave me that idea to at least make SOMETHING out of my "playable wallhanger" :D
as for the colors of the viper: Tobacco bust quilt, Blue Burl, Lime Green Burl and Magenta Burl are my favorites... although i guess i would be happy with the entire top row :D
i just love the look of nicely figured maple :)
How lucky for you. A Viper is on my bucket list. I would go all out 6 string, just love the extended range, Barberra pickup.
Cool! 😁
You are very talented, charming & gorgeous...
As a seasoned electric guitar player of many, many years, I would love to have a 6 string Viper, most likely in black (due to cost) with gold hardware and frets...Having 6 strings would allow much versatility in using several different alternate guitar tunings...Standard EADGBE...Drop D...
DADGAD...Open E...
Open G...Open C...etc.
Of coarse it would necessitate changing string gauges and some tunings might work better than others....but what fun,
and as a guitar player that uses many different effects pedals, Im already well acquainted in that area... Id love to plug it into my BOSS SY-300 guitar synth which does NOT require a hexaphonic pickup system like many of them... it would be plug & play...very cool for sure!
With a 2 year waiting list for the build, I could get 2 years of violin practice under my belt to help with the transition....its quite a commitment and price expenditure ($4000) that I need to think carefully about.... but Im so very tempted...
Maybe you should get that pink one without frets in a 4 string version?? 😜
Peace ✌🏻❤️
That's my dream violin🎻🎻🎻
Nice! I've been drooling over it for a while too, haha. 😋
This is very cool.
Yes! 😁👌
The Viper ? Wow I wish to have one. A blue Viper would be really cool
They do have a blue viper! They can be made in lots of different colors. :)
Get the Viper. It doesn't mater if you never use it. It's like my guitar collection. I only play one, but you never know when I might need a backup. Or just want to play a different one, lol
Yes yes, I agree 😀
Although, I change the guitars according to my mood 🎸
I only have one violin and that's enough: Violin Reiter Allien II (Czech rep... )
@@VladoBelo I don't own a violin (yet) but I have 2 electric guitars, an acoustic guitar a cornet and a trumpet. I'm saving up for an electronic drum kit and several other instruments.
Nice
Very nice!!! But EXPENSIVE as heck, even when purchased on eBay. I've not bought one due to the high price.
Interessant hoor!
Zeker leuk om eens te proberen! 😊
I would think frets would make playing a violin much easier - as in, impossible to miss a note. Also, five strings make so much sense. Having a middle string at the highest point seems natural.
It's definitely still possible. When the strings get tuned they stretch and as they move the note will be slightly off when you play the fret. Frets on the violin and same goes for stickers found on traditional string instruments for beginners are there to let them know of the general area. But I think the frets are there to also make the violin more guitar-y if that makes sense
Wait, what? The note will not be off when tuned, at all. Only if intonation is not set accurately at the bridge, or the strings are old and sounding false.
With frets you can't use pythagorean tuning, one of the great advantages of a violin is that it doesn't have frets. With frets you are stuck with equal temperament tuning, why not just buy a mandolin .
Could the support system be adapted to work on a traditional violin? - I would love my violin to be self supporting
Ooh I'd love that too! 🧡
Hello. I used to play the violin as a child and I would like to return back to it. It has been 12 years since I played the violin for the last time. I am thinking about buying this Viper violin. I would like to have 5 string, but I am thinking about fretted one. What is your opinion on frets? Could you see all frets well while playing the violin? Is it worth it? I play the guitar and on the guitar its not that hard to see each position of hand easily. Is it anyways again more about muscle memory?
I’d love a Viper, but having seen the video on how they are made, I just can’t see how they cost that much ok that particular one alphas the Barbera pickup which is also expensive , but again looking at the patent for that I can’t why it costs so much. I’m probably going to end up with a 5 string NS Wav, or a Yamaha YEV105.
Because there is no competition, if you want a flying v violin the Viper is your only option. Or building it yourself (which is not that hard, but still a lot of work).
I'm not a violinist, but I want one.
lovely sounding violin, is that dutch I heard?
Definitely a great violin! And yes, we're Dutch. 🙂
Try Olè Bull violin ten strings and a extra long bow..
10 strings? Oh my...
Ahh je had er The Phantom of the Opera op moeten spelen😍
Haha, ja! Alleen schud je die niet zo even uit je mouw. 😅
How much are they?
Viper violins start at $2629 (4 strings, no frets, standard pick-up) and go up to $4949 (7 strings, frets, better pick-up).
I don't get it really, each to his own but are you not stuck with equal temperament tuning?
A Flying V Violin
LA TRADUCCIÓN EN LOS SUBTÍTULOS EN ESPAÑOL ES MUY EXTRAÑA.
Vibrato???
diz iz devil horns burrn it immeadiately or else it possesses you forever
It is a great violin. To be conservative is ok but being a nun isn't for everyone, and progress is an eye opening experience, new blood, new oxygen. It's not a traditional violen it's a progression in time, it's better than or compatible to the model A violin s. So carbon fiber looks alike aren't real enough. Put your phone down and get a land line. Hehehehe
Hi Marijke - Yikes! A violin with frets! 😱 Frets to a violin is training wheels is to a bicycle. 😢
Call me old-school. But yours truly only plays acoustic 4-string violins. 👍 😊 🎻 I'm with you, "I don't think I'll be getting one anytime soon." 👌 😉
Funny enough, the frets on this violin aren't meant as training wheels, but to be able to play in different ways (although they help a bit with intonation). But I found the frets to be in way and slightly annoying. If I ever buy a Viper, I would go fretless.
@@MarijkeViolin Hi Marijke - I was speaking generally in regards to using frets with violins. Fretless is the way to go with the violin. 👍 😊
BTW: If I want to use frets, I'll play either my ukulele or mandolin. 👌 😉
RIP glissando
Glissando can still be done! People do glissando on guitars but Mark Wood does glissando on his electric violin all the time.
A violin it isn't. It is a bowed "violin-shaped" object. Attach a bridge and amplifier to a mini-guitar and you got yourself a violin? I think not.
Electric violins are a thing too. 😉
When the guy who invented them is a classically trained Julliard graduate:
