The perfect entry into the world of electric violins

The Harley Benton HBV 990GBY electric violin does not have an acouThe Harley Benton HBV 990GBY electric violin does not have an acoustically resonant body like a classical violin, but a solid centre block instead. This means that the instrument is primarily designed for electrically amplified playing, which is possible thanks to an active pickup system complete with a three-band EQ and various connection options. A circumferential black plastic frame provides the perfect grip when playing. Starting on the electric violin is as easy as can be with this instrument. In addition to the violin itself, the scope of delivery includes a case, a shoulder rest, a composite bow, rosin for coating the bow hair, and a 9V battery for powering the active pickup.stically resonant body like a classical violin, but a solid centre block instead.

A perfectly designed instrument

The body of the Harley Benton HBV 990GBY is made of birch with a green, blue, and yellow oval pattern. The maple neck features a glued-on maple fingerboard - in this case coloured black. The tailpiece features a set of fine-tuners to facilitate uncomplicated and precise tuning of the violin. The pickup unit is active (i.e. equipped with a preamp) and allows the volume to be controlled via a rotary knob on the underside of the instrument, while the three faders adjust the bass, middle, and treble frequencies as desired. The compartment for the 9V battery that powers the pickup system and the mount for the chin rest are also located on the underside. Two mini-jack sockets (3.5mm) are placed laterally so that headphones and an external sound source, such as an MP3 player, can be connected. These features are very useful when practising: For example, backing tracks can be listened to using headphones.

This one can be really loud!

Violinists from all manner of musical backgrounds will be delighted by the Harley Benton HBV 990GBY, because this instrument comes with straightforward amplification that is also very flexible in terms of sound. With the piezo-based pickup system, feedback problems are hardly to be expected, even at higher volumes. The attractive price makes the Harley Benton HBV 990GBY suitable not only for beginners, but also for advanced players who are looking for a flexible electric violin as a second instrument. Incidentally, many violin players use an electric violin alongside their acoustic one for practising at home - so the neighbours are not bombarded with piercing violin tones. In any case, the unamplified sound of the Harley Benton HBV 990GBY is loud enough to be heard at a sufficient volume when playing alone.

I bought this for the 49th birthday of my wife of 27 years, she has never even touched a violin before much less played one. She was very surprised by it and did not know what to say. Almost a month later and she wont put it down! It has become her new best friend and she loves it. BEST buy EVER !!!!! Thankyou Harley Benton

SUPER esthetic und überraschend guter Klang
Emilio M. Rizzi 25.08.2020
Harley Benton hat ein wirklich schönes Muster aus verschiedenen Grüntönen geschaffen, das ding siet echt SUPER gut aus. Sehr guter Sound aus dem Tonabnehmersystem, Ich benutze dies mit NeuralDSP Gitarren Effekte und kann es sehr empfehlen.

(das ist einfach was persönliches) Ich muss mich einfach an den Wirbel gewöhnen, dass man drehen und dann in das Holz drücken muss damit es genug Reibung gibt, sodass die Seite sich nicht abwickelt. Gitarrenwirbel währen viel einfacher aber alle Violinen haben diese Mechanik. Ich habe schon eine Seite gebrochen, aber das ist offensichlich meine eigene Schuld! haha

Gute E Geige für Einsteiger
Veronika Silvia 04.10.2019
Ich habe mir die Geige gekauft um meine Familie und meine Nachbarn etwas zu schonen. Ich beginne gerade erst.
Natürlich darf man für diesen Betrag nichts grossartiges erwarten.
Soviel ich es als Anfängerin beurteilen kann ist sie um den Preis ein gutes Produckt.
Leider hält mir die Schulterstütze nicht. Auch wie mir von Thomann empfohlen wurde habe ich versucht die Schrauben zu verbiegen aber gebracht hat es nichts.
Bevor ich sie abbreche.
Ich verwende einfach die, die ich habe.
Ach ja der Service ist Tipi Topi!
