Dahlia 5 String Violin

Familiarity by function...beauty by design...

The Dahlia 5 string violin designed and patented by Gary E. Bartig features a slightly wider body for a warm tone on the low end and a slightly wider neck with standard string-to-string spacing for familiar feel and intonation.

Add Gary's lightweight, internal pickup system and your Dahlia5 has all the versatility for your amplified needs as well.

When you listen, you'll understand...

Audio clips recorded in Gary's Warehouse Studio showcase the acoustic and amplified tone of the Dahlia 5-String.
