The NXTa Active Series, including 4 and 5 string violins and fretted violins, embody physical elegance, tremendous ease of play, and amazing tone. Crafted to exacting standards in the Czech Republic, they set the standard for performance and versatility in any setting. Good ergonomics, including light weight, are critical performance factors for any electric violin. With their familiar left hand landmarks, including the removable reference bout, NXT series instruments are remarkably easy to play. Starting at just 585 grams, they set the pace as some of the lightest electrics on the market. Using set screws, the rock-maple bridge can be readily adjusted to the desired action height-high and powerful, low and fast, or anywhere in between. A contoured ebony chin rest is standard. The optional Adjustable Chin Rest is also available for players wanting a more extensive range of position adjustments for further customized fit and comfort. The standard Custom Shoulder Rest is highly adjustable, and whose base can be readily formed to fit the chest and shoulder perfectly. The NXTa also accepts NS Design's revolutionary Balanced Shoulder Rest, which secures it effortlessly in optimal playing position. The patented tuning system built into the bottom of the body allows quick, easy and precise adjustment, exceptional pitch stability, and easy string changes.
