  Wood
Violins
These instruments are designed by the well-known
Electric Violinist, Mark Wood. The appearance of
these instruments is stunning, but that should
not fool serious players. They are serious instruments
and perform at the highest level as the primary
choice of many, many working professionals.
 The
Stingray is the entry level model. These are a
great value. We also offer a rent-to-own option
for Stringray outfits, which inlcude the bow, case,
wha pedal and amp. So anyone can afford to get
shredding on an electric. Contact us by email if
you are interested in the rent-to-own program.
All other models are
considered "Custom",
which means they are made to order with specific
choices of wood, finish, hardware and other features.
Delivery time is about four months. We do stock
a small selection of Custom models, so if you are
flexible with the color and other options, let
us know by sending us an email message. We will
reply with a list of what is available currently
or will become available in the near future. |

Stingray This
model represents the best value of any electric
Violin on the market today. A case is included.
These are available in fretless model only. They
are feather-weight, no heavy batteries or preamps.
And, they feature cutting-edge transducer pickups.
We generally keep a good stock
of all colors and models. The outfits come with
the instrument, case, matching bow and rosin.
You can even get free music if you register your
instrument on the manufacturer's website.

Viper The
flagship model of the Wood Violins line. Mark
Wood himself plays a 7 string fretted Viper.
Viper players often refer to their instrumnets as Vipers,
not Violins, because they are truly in their
own class, especially when fretted.
Don't
think of frets on a Violin the same as frets
on a Guitar. On a guitar, the player's fingers
are placed behind the fret, but on a Wood Violins
model, you play on top of the frets. You can
still do vibrato and glissando! It gives players
confidence to know that they will be in tune
on a stage where the ambient volume is high and it is difficult
to hear one's own instrument. The frets make a great visual
aid to play with confidence when you can't hear
your instrument well.
The Viper is also the model that has the patented
harness system, which allows you to hold the
violin without a shoulder rest or chinrest.

Custom
Stingray. Same body shape as the standard Stingray,
but made offered with the same range of finishes and other
custom options as the Viper and Sabre. |
|
|
| Sabre Probably
the most understated look of any Wood Violins model. The Sabre
pays homage to the popular Stratocaster pattern of the electric
guitar world. This instrument is played with traditional chinrest
and shoulder rest, an has traditional pegs too. |
|
|
Cobra
Cello Recently
redesigned, the Cobra
Cello is a versatile instrument that can be played
with convincing acoustic tone or with loads of
effects. The patented harness system gives Cellist
the ability to stand and move on stage. It also
permits good posture, unlike playing a tradiational
instrument.
Cobra harness, enabling
mobility like Cellist have never known before.
