The Ultimate Violin for Gigging Musicians
Touring violinists need an instrument that can handle the orchestra, a string quartet, a country-rock band, and everything in between. That’s where the Revelle Touring Pro Acoustic-electric Violin comes in. This highly versatile instrument meets the needs of busy players who perform in both acoustic and amplified settings. Made in Romania from Carpathian spruce and maple, the Touring Pro violin produces a rich and vibrant tone that seasoned players will love. Its sound is enhanced by Dominant strings, which provide powerful projection and rich overtones. Plug it into an amp with the built-in piezo pickup, which accurately captures the violin’s sound without hindering its acoustic performance. Sweetwater violinists also love the Touring Pro’s advanced setup, including the Wittner Ultra tailpiece and Wittner Finetune geared pegs. The Touring Pro outfit comes complete with the Revelle Phoenix braided carbon fiber bow, Magic Rosin, an KUN shoulder rest, an electronic tuner, a cleaning cloth, and a certificate of authenticity.

Made in Romania from seasoned Carpathian tonewoods
Trees from the Carpathian Mountains in Central Europe produce some of the most sought-after wood by history’s greatest violin makers. Made in Romanian workshops, the Revelle Touring Pro sports a Carpathian spruce top with flamed Carpathian maple back, neck, and sides. Aged and seasoned for several years, these woods offer a rich, vibrant sound filled with splendid tonal colors. The violin is brought together with a seasoned ebony fingerboard, and finished with a hand-applied spirit varnish that brings out all the intricate details in the wood. The result is a beautiful instrument with stunning looks and playability you’ll take to every gig.
Advanced setup with exclusive features
The Touring Pro violin comes with special fittings and accessories to meet the needs of busy players in every setting. For starters, its Thomastik Dominant strings bring out the already-sumptuous sound with rich tonality and quick response. But its most distinguishing characteristic is the piezo pickup, which lets you plug into an amp or audio interface and directly capture the violin’s beautiful tone. The Touring Pro comes with the German-made Wittner Finetune geared pegs. These mechanical pegs make tuning easier and won’t slip like wood pegs will. It also sports a Wittner Ultra tailpiece, which helps keep the strings in place and brings out more harmonics. The outfit also comes with additional accessories, like the KUN shoulder rest, electronic tuner, and the Revelle Pheonix braided carbon fiber bow.
