The Fortevio Pickup System was developed in collaboration specifically for the Viper electric violin platform, engineered to deliver balanced output, natural depth, and full-spectrum clarity across every string configuration.
Designed for modern performance at any scale, Fortevio represents the next evolution of Viper sound.
Built on Solid Maple Construction
The Fortevio pickup features solid maple body construction.
Why does that matter?
Maple provides:
- Structural integrity
- Tonal consistency
- Stability under string pressure
- A more natural resonance foundation
Unlike synthetic or composite systems, the maple construction contributes to a more organic tonal response, aligning with the performance expectations of professional electric violinists.
Luthier-Friendly by Design
The Fortevio system is built with adjustability in mind.
It can be:
- Dressed on the top
- Adjusted at the feet
- Fine-tuned to player preference
- Adapted to different string tensions
This makes it exceptionally luthier-friendly, allowing detailed setup refinement without compromising structural integrity.
For custom builds and professional touring artists, this level of adjustability matters.
Balanced Output Across All Strings
Extended range electric violins introduce a major challenge:
Low-end clarity.
On many pickup systems, lower strings can become muddy or uneven in output.
Fortevio is engineered to provide:
- Even string-to-string response
- Controlled low-end articulation
- Clarity in bass notes
- Definition in chords
- Balanced signal across 4–7 string configurations
Whether playing a traditional 4-string or a 7-string Viper, the tonal response remains consistent and controlled.
A Full-Body Electric Violin Sound
One of the defining characteristics of the Fortevio pickup is its natural tonal depth.
Compared to more “dry” signal profiles that require extensive post-processing, Fortevio delivers:
- A fuller tonal body
- More natural resonance character
- Smooth midrange warmth
- Strong projection without harshness
For players running clean tones or minimal processing, this often means:
Less configuration.
More immediate musicality.
