Product Description by Fiddleheads' Owner and Teacher Rhiannon Schmitt

Got amplification?

Forget using a mic or clip-on pickup; this violin comes ready to plug in. Classic meets trendy with this affordable Romanian-crafted Acoustic/Electric (AE) violin outfit.

The "Chromatic AE" is a traditional-style, hollow body acoustic violin with a snazzy modern finish and well-known Barcus-Berry electronics.

The cool metallic, iridescent finish is applied in many layers and changes colors in different lighting.
