5-String Acoustic Electric Violins
from master luthier Gary Bartig
Our new 5-string instruments with internal pickup offer the expanded range and versatility you need...
5 string violins offer depth of tone, expanded range, and great versatility for jazz, Celtic, bluegrass, folk - any style of music where improvisation is valued. However, they are often considered difficult to play because of the closer string spacing. With our wider necks, we give you standard string spacing. Plus each 5-string violin from AES gives you the great look and tone of an acoustic violin, with the added versatility of a lightweight, internal pickup for your amplified needs.
And our acoustic electric 5-strings are ideal for string teachers: Instruct violin, viola and even cello students and — thanks to our internal pickup — go right to a gig, while leaving your priceless instrument at home.
