Katahashi Karen Ultralight All-Electric Violin | 2021


Designers: Anima Design SL., Barcelona, Spain
Manufacturer: Katahashi Instruments Japan Corporation Ltd., Kiso, Fukushima, Japan


Karen Ultralight is an electric violin 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.
It is lightweight and made by 3D printing with 100% recyclable polymers.
A perfect study of ergonomics, ultralight design, and application of high-tech materials: all of this integrated into an elegant and slim product.
