handmade electric violins, violas and cellos

Electric violas

The main electric viola models I manufacture are Alien and Easy. I offer the Easy model in a 4 or 5 string version, the Alien violin in 4, 5, and 6 string versions. Each instrument is manufactured individually, the size and diapason are according to the customer's requirements. Delivery time is approximately 4 weeks. You can order by e-mail or order form.

The bodies of all instruments are manufactured from quality ripe maple wood. The fingerboards and fittings are made of ebony. The instruments are fitted with piezo pickups which are located under the bridge. The viola has a built-in preamplifier (except for the passive version of the Easy viola) which has been designed and adjusted with regard to the piezo pickups used. The preamplifier is powered by a 9V battery which has a battery life of about half a year. I manufacture the instruments in various dyes – according to the customer's needs – take a look at the gallery for inspiration. Each instrument comes with a solid case and all products are covered under 5-year warranty.


Viola Alien

Thanks to the massive frame and oil tuning mechanics, you will appreciate its stable and comfortable tuning. Although oil tuning mechanics are heavier compared to the traditional pegbox, the viola is well balanced thanks to the placement of the mechanics behind the bridge. The viola may be manufactured in any size – according to the customer's needs. I offer the instrument in 4, 5 and 6 string versions.

The frame of the viola is designed to be as light as possible and at the same time to have good rigidity which ensures tuning stability Like the Easy violin, the viola is offered in two versions – active and passive. I offer the instrument only in the 4 or 5 string version.
