Key Features
The Glasser AEX Acoustic Electric 5 String Violin is designed for musicians who need the flexibility to perform acoustically or amplified. Its carbon composite body offers excellent durability and a consistent, resonant tone, making it well suited to regular performances, touring, and changing environments. With five strings, it extends your playing range, opening up new possibilities for contemporary, orchestral, and crossover styles.
A Bartolini preamp and Schatten bridge pickup provide clear, controllable amplified sound, while compatibility with the Glasser Swordtail active chinrest system (sold separately) makes connecting to an amplifier straightforward. Planetary pegs offer smooth, precise tuning with minimal effort, and Larsen Aurora strings deliver responsive playability from the start. Finished in a distinctive pearlescent blue, the AEX combines practical performance features with a striking appearance.
Please Note: Bow not included.

The AEX combines traditional violin performance with modern electronics, allowing you to move easily between acoustic and amplified playing. A Bartolini preamp works alongside a Schatten bridge pickup to deliver clear, balanced sound with greater control over your amplified tone. Compatible with the optional Glasser Swordtail active chinrest system, the violin is ready to adapt to rehearsals, studio sessions, and live performances where reliable amplification is essential.
Constructed from carbon composite, the AEX is designed to withstand conditions that can challenge traditional wooden instruments. The material is less affected by humidity and temperature changes, helping maintain consistent playability wherever you perform. It also produces a balanced, resonant tone while offering the durability needed for frequent travel and regular use, making it a practical choice for musicians with busy schedules.
The five-string configuration expands your musical range, giving you access to lower notes without changing instruments. This added versatility is useful for contemporary repertoire, improvisation, and arrangements that benefit from a wider tonal palette. Glasser Planetary Pegs feature an internal geared design for smooth, accurate tuning, while the composite tailpiece with fine tuners makes small adjustments quick and straightforward.
A pearlescent blue finish gives the AEX a unique appearance on stage while highlighting its modern construction. The violin comes fitted with a carbon composite bridge and soundpost, plus Larsen Aurora strings for responsive performance straight away. Designed as an instrument-only option, it allows you to choose the bow that best suits your playing style while providing a durable platform for both acoustic and amplified performances.
