Ted Brewer Vivo 2 5 String Electric Violin Green

What we say

Hand-made in Lincoln, the Vivo is an affordable way to get your hands on a genuine Ted Brewer violin, as favoured by numerous well known violinists including the legendary Vanessa Mae. Instandly recognisable due to its acrylic body and lights that pulse in response to bow pressure, this is a great instrument with a lovely sound.

Technical features include a microprocessor that lets you play around with the sound output, and grover tuners. The neck and fingerboard are slightly wider to accommodate the extra string, but it shouldn't take more than a couple of sessions to get used to this. The options available (tonally and musically) with an extra string outweigh the work needed to adjust to the larger shape.

All in all, this is a stunning instrument with a lot of possiblities. It's perfect for gigging, solo work and reigniting a passion for string playing. 

What they say

The stunning Vivo² has been developed using state of the art materials and advanced processor technology. It looks amazing and it sounds incredible, thanks to an advanced audio system.

The multi-processor control allows fast, easy control of volume and tone via finger-light touch buttons incorporated within the violin body. The processor memory stores all of your settings, even if the battery is removed.

If you’re really looking to attract attention, you can even use these controls to illuminate your playing. The Vivo² has a built-in sound to light facility, which incorporates two vertical banks of super bright LEDs, integrated into the body of the violin. Light pulses along the length of the instrument, complimenting your playing. Of course, the lights can be turned off if not required.
