Karen Ultralight is an electric violin, it is created through computational design systems, thus achieving a structurally ultralight instrument, calculated at the highest ergonomic and acoustic level.

The body is made of natural wood and finished in carbon fiber for a perfect sono-acoustic response and the frame is made of a mathematical structure delicately calculated for its purpose; lightweight and made by 3D printing with 100% recyclable polymers.

A perfect study of ergonomics, ultralight design and application of high-tech materials; all this integrated in an elegant and slim product.
