What Makes Gewa Novita Electric Violin so Special?
There’s a 4-string and a 5-string version of these electric violins. You can also get them with standard or universal shoulder rests.
When you buy the standard shoulder rest violin model, the instrument comes attached with a shoulder rest. You can use your own shoulder rest with the universal model because you get an adapter attached to the violin, which you can use with your own shoulder rest.
Rich, High-Quality Sound From Novita
There’s no doubt these electric violins sound present and full. It’s not like cheap electric violins that sound nasal and wispy.
Novita violins are also great for studio recording. This will give you a clean sound to work with in music editing software. This is important if you plan to add effects and filters later.
In addition, the pickup can accurately pick up bowing sounds. This means you can use different bowing techniques on these violins. This isn’t possible with every electric violin. If you play some cheaper electric violins, you might be doing forceful spiccatos with your bow, but getting weak sounds.
Knobs for Volume, Bass, and Treble
It’s also easy to control the violin’s volume and tone. Your violin has these little knobs on the back.
You can control the brightness of the instrument with the treble knob. This is especially true on the E-string. You can turn it up for a brighter tone or down for a warmer one.
You can control the lower notes with the bass knob. Especially if you’re playing the lower C string on an electric violin.
You’ll love the bass sound of the Novita models! When you’re performing at a venue with big subwoofers, you can control how much bass comes out.
If you’re recording, you can turn up the bass frequency to get those lower tones for a fuller sound.
Two Audio Outputs
Two audio outputs are available: a quarter-inch and a mini.
Your violin will be plugged in 99% of the time to the quarter-inch output. If you’re using headphones with a mini jack, you’ll need a quarter-inch mini adapter. Make sure the toggle switch is on “headphones”.
Plugging your violin into speakers or other audio devices will also use the quarter-inch output. But you’ll have to turn the toggle switch to “aux”.
Powered Performance
There’s a 9-volt battery in the Novita violins. This means your sound is consistently powerful, so it’s more present and bold.
There are some electric violins that don’t need batteries. Therefore, you need to pay attention to the audio devices you’re connecting.
Because Novita has onboard power, you don’t have to worry about what you’re plugging your instrument into.
Hollow Scroll
With this feature, you can hold your violin with just one finger! It’s perfect for violinists who don’t want sweat and oil all over their instruments.
Planetary Pegs
As these pegs are very easy to turn, it makes it very easy to fine-tune your instrument when you need to fine-tune it. There’s no need for tuning dials on the tailpiece.
Final Thoughts
There is no doubt that the Gewa Novita electric violins have a great sound and they come with some really cool features. A great advantage of this instrument is that it’s easy to set up and ready to play right away. As a result, you don’t need to worry about all the technical aspects of obtaining a good sound.
By combining the tone of these instruments with your favorite pedals, effects, or filters, you will be creating sounds that are truly unique and powerful.
