  PLAYTECH delivers reliable quality at an unbeatable price! Introducing our new electric violin and electric double bass!
  
  The “PEV144” is PLAYTECH's first model featuring a pickup mounted on an acoustic body. Characterized by its slender body and solid wood construction, this electric violin combines the best of both the acoustic and electric worlds.
  The “PEV244” series is an electric violin with a double cutaway body shape, akin to a “semi-hollow” electric guitar. Available in two colors: Blue and Brown. Equipped with a German-made Shadow pickup, it's an electric violin guaranteed to stand out on stage.
  The “PEK100” is PLAYTECH's first electric contrabass, featuring a Sunburst finish. It also features a Shadow pickup, delivering a clear and distinct sound.
