Sound Pure's Take

Condition: Used, Excellent

SP Luthier Notes: This instrument has been carefully inspected and, if necessary, serviced by our certified luthier to ensure it is in excellent playing condition.

The NS Design CR5F Electric Violin combines elegant craftsmanship with innovative pickup technology in a compact, thoughtfully designed instrument. Its solid, quarter-sawn European maple body and neck are complemented by a flame maple face, traditional amber stain, and a hand-graduated ebony fingerboard. At the heart of its sound is the Polar directional piezo pickup system, which selectively responds to vertical or lateral string vibrations, offering two distinct ways to shape your tone. Onboard Volume, Treble, and Bass controls provide further tonal adjustment, while a three-way switch makes it easy to explore the pickup's different responses. A height-adjustable black-dyed maple bridge allows for precise setup, and the 13" scale length offers a compact playing experience. Weighing just 25.5 oz., the CR5F is an intriguing choice for violinists looking to explore a modern electric design without sacrificing quality materials or craftsmanship.
