Glasser AE Carbon Composite Acoustic-Electric Violin

Glasser’s carbon composite acoustic-electric violins are a great option for players who want the best of both worlds — a big, rich acoustic tone, and the option to plug in and amplify so you can be heard in situations where your acoustic alone isn’t quite enough volume. These are well-made, attractive instruments with a really good acoustic sound and excellent amplified tone.

If you’ve been looking to add an acoustic-electric violin to your arsenal, the Glasser carbon composite acoustic-electric violins offer an attractive and affordable option, with excellent build quality and sound.

Unplugged, the Glasser acoustic-electric violins have a clear, strong tone. They don’t have the “woody” sound of your regular acoustic violin, but they don’t have the nasal tone that you occasionally hear from some violins made from synthetic materials. We were pleasantly surprised by the quality of the acoustic tone of these violins.

State of the art electronics by Bartolini connect to the Glasser Swordtail active system, with a volume knob on the tailpiece, and a dual bass/treble tone control and and 1/4″ output jack built into the chin rest.


The AE model features a carbon fiber weave in the body, visible only from up close. The look is accentuated by the subtle, attractive colored tint.
