from concept to product
A sculptural, semi-acoustic instrument at the intersection of classical tradition and contemporary material innovation.
Engineered with a carbon composite resonating body and a hybrid acoustic system,
this instrument redefines weight, projection, and performance adaptability. Developed for contemporary musicians navigating both stage and studio.
Your questions, answered
A new instrument always raises curiosity. Here are the most common questions about the Gavari Semi-Acoustic Violin and its upcoming development phase.
Is the violin already available for purchase?
Not yet. The Gavari Semi-Acoustic Violin is currently in the redevelopment and prototyping phase. A limited founding series is planned once technical validation and production partnerships are secured.You can register your interest to receive updates on availability.
What makes this violin different from traditional or electric violins?
The instrument bridges acoustic tradition and contemporary material innovation. It features a carbon composite resonating body designed to reduce weight while offering structural stability and new tonal possibilities, combined with a semi-acoustic system adaptable to both stage and studio environments. It is not fully electric. It is not fully traditional. It exists in between.
Why carbon fiber?
Carbon allows precision, durability, and consistency that traditional wood construction cannot always guarantee.It opens new possibilities in projection, stability across climates, and sculptural form, while still respecting the physics of resonance. Material exploration is central to the concept.
Since when has this project existed?
The original design was internationally recognized in Kyoto in 2008 and received global attention within the design community. The current phase builds on that foundation, refining both engineering and acoustic performance for contemporary production standards.
Who is this instrument designed for?
The Gavari Semi-Acoustic Violin is intended for:
– Contemporary classical performers
– Experimental musicians
– Film composers
– Crossover artists
– Performers working between acoustic and amplified environmentsIt is designed for musicians who value both sound and object.
