The Viper Classic is the essential Viper experience, featuring the same iconic body design and patented self-support system that define the Viper, allowing you to play freely without the need for a chin or shoulder rest. The result is a more natural, unrestricted playing experience built for the stage.
Available in 4-5-string fretless configurations, the Classic offers a familiar feel with expanded range, making it an ideal transition from acoustic to electric. Its streamlined configuration keeps things simple, while delivering the tone, balance, and reliability players expect from a Viper.
Each instrument is equipped with a Tru-Tone pickup system for clear, authentic violin sound with plenty of output for pedals and amplification.

The World's First Self Supporting Violin
The Viper is designed to support itself, so your body doesn’t have to.
Our patented self-support system allows the instrument to hang freely from the shoulder, eliminating the need for a traditional shoulder rest or constant clamping between the neck and jaw. Every Viper includes a custom strap and adjustable support arm, carefully balanced to distribute weight naturally and comfortably.
Frequently asked questions
The Viper Classic is designed for violinists who want to step into electric without changing how they play.
Its fretless fingerboard, familiar setup, and 4-5-string range preserve the feel of a traditional instrument, while the Viper’s self-support system unlocks a completely new level of movement and stage presence.
The Viper Classic is the essential Viper experience, designed as a streamlined, ready-to-play electric violin with 4-5-string fretless configuration. It’s ideal for players transitioning into electric or looking for a simple, stage-ready setup.
The Viper PRO expands on that foundation with extended-range 4–7 string options, fretted and fretless fingerboards, and upgraded components. Each PRO is handcrafted in Cleveland, Ohio and built for players who want greater control, customization, and performance capability.
Unlike a traditional violin, the Viper is fully self-supporting. Using the included strap and adjustable support arm, the instrument hangs naturally from the shoulder, eliminating the need to clamp it between your chin, neck, and shoulder.
This design allows for tension-free playing, increased mobility, and a more open, natural posture, especially during long sessions or high-energy performances. Your head, neck, and shoulders remain relaxed, and your hands are free to move without compensating for balance or support.
Once adjusted, the Viper feels stable and effortless—letting you focus entirely on playing, not holding the instrument in place.
The Viper typically weighs between 3–4 lbs, with slight variation by model. The self-support system distributes the weight across your body, allowing for a comfortable, tension-free playing experience.
