Endeavour electric violins are hand-crafted to quality specifications of The String Workshop.

The ENDEAVOUR “Celeste” series electric violin outfit Includes violin, carbon fibre bow, case, rosin, and audio cable.

Endeavour ‘Celeste’ electric-acoustic violins are built as complete 'hollow body' violins and can therefore be played as acoustic or electric instruments.  Available in white carbon fibre, or black carbon fibre wrap.

Designed in New Zealand and handcrafted in China – created to strict control standards .  All instruments  undergo thorough quality control checks before being sent to New Zealand, and upon arrival they are again individually inspected and evaluated for precision and quality.  Each instrument is then professionally adjusted and  personally set-up by Phil Whitehead for perfect playability and for the most clear and ‘sizzling’ tone.

Pickup System
The system is comprised of a bridge-mounted piezo-electric transducer which takes the string vibrations directly from the natural wooden violin bridge.  The rear side of the violin has an easy and convenient  standard 1/4 inch output socket, which is used to plug the audio cable directly to your amplifier.
