Glasser/Voltatron Violin 5-String

The Glasser/Voltatron is a first-of-its-kind hybrid electric violin that combines Glasser’s durable carbon composite body with Volta’s innovative onboard speaker system. With a built-in rechargeable battery, twin speakers, and integrated reverb, it offers the freedom to perform anywhere — no cables or external gear required. When it’s time for the stage, simply plug into an amp or PA for a clean pickup signal, while the onboard speakers act as your personal monitor. Switch between active and passive modes for added versatility, and enjoy the reliability of a carbon composite instrument that won’t be affected by changes in temperature or humidity. Whether you’re strolling, busking, performing, or practicing quietly at home, it adapts seamlessly — making it one of the most versatile violins ever built. Our AE carbon series instruments feature a high-gloss clear coat over a colored dye coat, showcasing the distinctive carbon fiber weave.
