Let's break it down: Realist Violin, 4 strings, Pro model, electro acoustic, 'Frantique' finish, with Active preamp. Realist violins are known for their high quality acoustic bodies and cleverly integrated pickups and electronics. The Realist transducer produces a wonderful warm tone and, being embedded in the violin just beneath the feet of the bridge it gives a wonderfully balanced mix of string vibrations and body resonance.
