MechanicsThe Virtuoso uses an electromagnet instead of fingering the strings. The electromagnet's position changes the behavior of the vibrating string to attain the desired pitch.[2] CompatibilityThe Virtuoso is designed to play a real violin, although its setup requires the strings to be restrung and the bridge to be removed and replaced with a mechanical bridge which controls the string oscillation and bow movement.[2] The Virtuoso Violin is capable of playing standard MIDI files.[2] ReceptionThe Virtuoso Violin was debuted at the Frankfurt Music Trade Show, and guests were both excited about the new invention and confused as to how it worked.[3] The novelty of the digital-to-analog player violin has been a huge hit, and the Virtuoso Violin has been used as a replacement to the concertmaster soloist at concerts mainly for show reasons.[4] The price of the violin was originally estimated at under $10,000 just before its release.[1] In 2003, its price was $12,500[5] and has risen since to nearly $22,000.[6] The sound projected by the Virtuoso Violin lacks the same quality found in a human violinist's playing, largely due to the inability for the device to spontaneously play emotionally.[7] See also
