Cantini Earphonic 4-String Electric MIDI Violin – White

Professional 4-String Electric & MIDI Violin with White Finish

The Cantini Earphonic 4-String White is a professional electric and MIDI violin designed for players who need accurate sound capture, reliable MIDI tracking, and seamless integration with modern performance systems. Handcrafted in Italy, it combines traditional violin construction with advanced electronic engineering for both stage and studio use.

Equipped with Cantini’s proprietary ISSP2 pickup system, the instrument delivers precise per-string signal separation, enabling expressive analog tone and highly accurate MIDI conversion for use with synthesizers and digital sound modules.

ISSP2 Per-String Pickup System for Accurate Tracking

The ISSP2 (Inductor Separate System Pickup) technology uses individual magnetic sensors for each string, ensuring balanced output and precise pitch detection. This design significantly improves MIDI tracking performance and articulation. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}
