The Marinette 4–String Violin

Unbeatable value...

The Marinette Acoustic Electric Violin is our most affordable model – equally desirable for any player who's ready to try an electric violin, and for the young student graduating to a full-size violin. Acoustically voiced for warm tone, it comes with the same great pickup as our top-of-the-line London and Dahlia violins.

The best sounding electric violin is an amplified acoustic violin!

Have a listen...

Audio clips recorded in Gary's Warehouse Studio showcase both the acoustic and amplified tone of the Marinette Violin.
