Professional 4-String Electric & MIDI Violin with Red Sunburst Finish
The Cantini Earphonic 4-String Red Sunburst is a professional electric and MIDI violin designed for advanced performers who require precise sound capture, reliable MIDI tracking, and a visually striking stage instrument. Handcrafted in Italy, it combines traditional violin craftsmanship with modern electronic performance technology for both live and studio environments.
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 integration with synthesizers and digital sound modules.
ISSP2 Per-String Pickup System for Accurate MIDI Tracking
The ISSP2 (Inductor Separate System Pickup) technology isolates each string individually, ensuring balanced output, clean articulation, and precise pitch-to-MIDI tracking performance. This makes it suitable for both analog amplification and advanced digital performance setups.
Dual Analog and MIDI Output Capability
The Red 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 Bold Sunburst Finish
Constructed with a solid maple body and ebony fittings including fingerboard and chinrest, the instrument offers durability, stability, and a professional playing feel. The Red Sunburst finish delivers a vibrant, high-contrast stage aesthetic designed for strong visual impact.
Active Electronics with Per-String Control
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.
