Silent
Violins, "Silent" characteristic allows you to practice
or play anywhere, anytime, without bothering those nearby. Just
connect the earphones and you'll be enveloped in a sound so rich
and full that you'll feel like you're standing in the middle of
a concert hall. Silent Violins play with the warm, full bodied tone, and most of the characteristics and nuances that you would expect from any violin. What's unique is its ability to place that sound in the rich acoustic environments of concert halls, without any external processing equipment. Silent violins are simply violins with an electronic signal output. The term can refer to an acoustic violin with an electric pickup of some type, but usually refers to a solid-body electric instrument. The solid body violins typically have a non-traditional, minimalistic design to keep weight down. Acoustic violins may be used with an add-on piezoelectric bridge or body pickup, but often suffer from feedback on stage, in addition to the raw piezo sound. Some magnetic pickups have less sharp sound and no feedback. To prevent this feedback from the resonances of the hollow body under high amplification on stage, many instruments have a solid body, which helps reduce or eliminate such feedback. The timbre or tone color of an acoustic violin is created directly because of these resonances, however, so depending on how the signal is picked up, an electric piezo violin may have a much more "raw", "sharp" sound than an acoustic. Silent violins signals usually pass through electronic processing,
in the same way as an electric guitar, to achieve a desired sound.
This could include delay, reverb, chorus, distortion, or other
effects. |
