Im a guitarist – can the 6-string fretted Viper be tuned like a guitar and is it hard to learn to play these things?
The 6-string fretted Viper can be tuned either like a violin (in fifths) or using standard guitar tuning. Many of our customers who purchase the 6-string fretted Viper are guitarists who are interested in exploring the wide dynamic range offered by an electric violin (not to mention how absolutely cool it looks on stage!). Although, as with anything new, there is a slight learning curve as you get used to the feel of the violin and playing with a bow, all of our guitarist clients have reported tremendous success with the instrument.
