Key Features
The NS Designs WAV5 Electric Violin is built for intermediate to professional players needing reliability, comfort, and tone control in live or studio settings. With its Amberburst finish and five-string setup, it's a versatile choice for those expanding into amplified or genre-blending performance. The Polar Pickup system captures bowing and plucking with clarity, offering different tonal responses depending on how you play. A passive circuit makes it maintenance-free - no batteries, just plug in and go.
Its lightweight, maple-carved body is matched with an ergonomic neck, and the adjustable bridge lets you fine-tune action to suit your technique. Traditional violinists can keep their position reference thanks to the removable black-dyed maple bout. It's also compatible with a wide range of standard violin strings, except synthetic cores.
Please Note: Due to the colour and grain type of this instrument, colour tone may vary from instrument to instrument.
Product Ref: 336004
The WAV5’s Polar Pickup isn’t just a piezo—it reacts to the direction of string movement. That means it naturally distinguishes between bowing and plucking. Bowed notes gain dynamic nuance, while plucked notes come through with clarity and sustain, ideal for players switching techniques mid-performance.
The patented tuning system sits behind the bridge and offers fine precision. No traditional pegs here—just quick, smooth adjustments and automatic string clamping that makes restringing much less of a chore. You can rely on stable tuning whether at rehearsal or gig.
The WAV5 weighs just 695g and features a sculpted maple body that balances well on the shoulder. Combined with a smooth ebony fingerboard and a fast neck, this makes it comfortable to play for extended periods without fatigue. The removable bout also gives players the option for traditional reference or full access.
This violin features a passive electronic circuit with a high impedance output, so there’s no need to worry about charging or replacing batteries. With onboard volume and tone (treble roll-off) controls, you’re ready to shape your sound directly from the instrument—just plug in and play.
