Professional 4-String Electric & MIDI Violin with Blue Sunburst Finish
The Cantini Earphonic 4-String Blue Sunburst is a professional electric and MIDI violin designed for advanced performers who require precise sound capture, stable MIDI tracking, and a visually distinctive stage instrument. Handcrafted in Italy, it combines traditional violin construction with modern electronic performance technology for live, studio, and hybrid digital workflows.
Built on Cantini’s proprietary ISSP2 pickup system, this instrument delivers accurate per-string signal separation, enabling expressive analog tone and highly reliable MIDI conversion for use with synthesizers and external sound modules.
ISSP2 Per-String Pickup System for Accurate MIDI Performance
The ISSP2 (Inductor Separate Sensor Pickup) system isolates each string individually, ensuring balanced output, improved articulation, and precise pitch-to-MIDI tracking. This supports both clean analog amplification and stable digital performance integration.
Dual Analog and MIDI Output Capability
The Blue Sunburst model features a standard 1/4” analog output for amplifiers and effects, along with a dedicated multi-pin MIDI interface for connection to systems such as Roland GR-series processors and compatible synthesizer modules.
Italian Craftsmanship with Stage-Ready Finish
Constructed with a solid maple body and ebony fittings including fingerboard and chinrest, the instrument delivers durability, stability, and a professional playing feel. The Blue Sunburst finish provides a bold, modern visual aesthetic designed for strong stage presence.
Active Electronics with Per-String Processing
An onboard active preamp processes each string independently, ensuring consistent output balance and precise tonal response across the instrument. This improves both analog clarity and MIDI tracking accuracy during performance.
Lightweight Ergonomic Design
Weighing approximately 650 grams, the violin is designed for extended performance sessions with reduced fatigue. Its ergonomic body shape supports standard shoulder rests for comfortable long-duration playing.
