The Realist 5-String Acoustic Electric Violin, 4/4, RV5PeA, "Frantique" Finish

Description

The Realist 5-String Acoustic Electric Violin, 4/4, RV5PeA, "Frantique" Finish. This beautiful violin plays wonderfully, and tunes like a dream with its Wittner Fine-Tune Pegs. Included with the violin is a full-size Holstein bow, mute, case, silk bag and silk/velvet in-case cover, and "Dominant" brand A, G, and D replacement strings. I have not replaced any of the strings with which it came. Below is the official product description:
This Realist Violin Pro has the 'Frantique' finish, which is a warm, reddish gold over the close-grained spruce top and tightly-flamed maple of the back and sides. So as not to distract from the attractive look of the violin, the pickup is almost invisibly embedded into the top plate, just beneath the bridge, the tone controls are wooden knobs that are discreetly tucked into the treble-side C bout, and the the 1/4 output jack is well hidden but conveniently placed on the backside of the instrument.
The RV Pro model features Instant Active (iA), a system that can transform the passive pick-up harness into an active one, delivering a hotter signal.
This lets you contour your sound without sacrificing the texture and color of the instrument's tone. A hotter signal also means more gain, which magnifies the effect of the tone knob. By increasing gain and lowering output impedance the iA system also lets you plug directly into a sound board, digital interface and most guitar amps without the need for an external preamp or DI box.
The iA system only requires a 2-minute charge for approximately 24 hours of high-gain output (no batteries necessary). To activate the active mode, simply pull out the tone knob until it clicks. When the tone knob is left pushed in the violin will remain in passive mode but is still able to plug in and amplify.
