Tone

Warm and singing, with an overtone richness that allows musical shaping at a high level. In the upper positions of the A string the instrument shows a lyrical, radiant quality. It responds sensitively to bow speed and contact point, and the response is light: the tone is there at once, in every position, without resistance.

The pickup

Cordasonus is built into the instrument. Nothing to retrofit, nothing glued on, no hardware sitting on the body. The system is piezoelectric, but it uses a proprietary treated crystal from a German ceramics technology company. The sensor sits in the bridge and registers pressure changes there and nothing else, not the general resonance of the body. The result is a natural tone without the hardness of conventional piezo systems, a frequency response from 10 Hz to 80 kHz and low feedback sensitivity.

Connects through a 6.3 mm jack, no battery. The pickup rotates in the bridge: turning it in 45 degree steps changes the tonal character, with no tools and no equalizer.

Finish

The body is produced by vacuum infusion. Then comes the part you actually see: sanded, lacquered, sanded again, lacquered again, and finally polished by hand. Two full lacquer cycles, each one inspected individually. Only that effort brings out the shifting carbon pattern, with a depth that changes as the light moves.

Also available with Orchestra Finish: a wood look built to your specification, color tone, flaming, one-piece or two-piece back.
