Acoustic Electric Violins in 4, 5 & 6 String models
Ultra High Performance, with two pickups per string.

Finely crafted acoustic electric violins, outfitted with our state of the art Twin Hybrid violin pickup system makes for an amplified violin of exceptional quality and unequalled performance capability. Barbera acoustic electric violins provide  the deep, rich  tonal personality of a resonant acoustic violin with  focused power and feedback resistance that goes far beyond the usual limitations of an amplified acoustic violin. BTS Acoustic Electric Violins rival an electric violin in their ability to project well in loud musical settings while retaining a rich, natural sounding violin tone at virtually any volume level.

Barbera acoustic electric violins combine our high end, Twin Hybrid model Multi Transducer violin pickup Bridge (two dual piezo transducer elements per string), with a finely crafted, handmade 5 string violin. The quality of these violins is evident throughout.  From the figured curly maple backs and fine grained spruce tops, to the oil varnish and matching boxwood or ebony accessories (including the matching boxwood or ebony output jack plate on the lower bout of the acoustic electric violin). A miniature volume/tone control is integrated into the tailpiece behind the fine tuners. 4, 5 and 6 string model acoustic electric violins are available.

ANTIQUE MODEL ACOUSTIC ELECTRIC VIOLINS

Barbera 5 string and 6 String Acoustic Electric Violins are constructed as extended range violins from the start, they are not not converted from 4 string violins. They feature a true 5 or 6 string violin neck, fingerboard and pegbox for comfortable string spacing at the nut. The sound  these acoustic electric violins produce is a clear, deep and rich, acoustic violin voice with lots of tonal personality. The Twin Hybrid Multi-Transducer violin pickup system provides the focused tonal clarity to powerfully project the violins voice in any amplified setting. The mini volume/tone control in the tailpiece offers a wide tonal sweep from ultra dark to bright. These are high end, professional quality acoustic electric violins, with state of the art multi transducer violin pickup bridges.

Barbera Acoustic Electric Violins are also available as 5 String Octave Violins. This format sounds one full octave below a normal 5 string violin due to it's specially engineered strings. (The low C is equivalent to the low C on a cello!). This instruments sound has the rich depth and power of a cello. The great thing about the octave violin format is its accessibility, it provides an entirely new, incredible sounding instrumental voice to the violinist while retaining the same note locations (one octave down) and intonation scale length of a regular 5 string violin. (Note, the richness of tone, texture and powerful voice this violin produces simply can not be duplicated with an octave pedal or midi device) Rich Barbera worked with John Cavanagh of Super Sensitive String Co. for over a year developing and fine tuning the Super Sensitive - Sensicore - Perlon, 5 string octave violin strings.
