Reverb Tank Violin
A reverb tank, as the name implies, is an enclosure that contains a sound chamber and a reservoir for water. The instrument’s body vibrates in much the same way as it does when any other bow is used to play an acoustic guitar.
The internal springs of a cello vibrate as the instrument is played, causing the interior springs to shake. This generates a one-of-a-kind, sympathetic reverberation that does not exist in traditional violins.
The reverb tank is an essential part of the violin’s unique sound. Adding a small amount of reverberation, gives the violin a richer, fuller sound that is both familiar and disorienting. The tank also helps to give the violin a warmer, more melancholic tone that can be unsettling.
However, it is important to keep the reverb tank clean and dust-free so that it does not affect the quality of the sound. With proper care, the reverb tank can help to create a unique and powerful sound that is perfect for any musical setting.
Two Presets Sustains and Tails.
“Sustain” presets contain a long note with a resonance that fades out. “Tail” presets contain a shorter note with a resonance that quickly fades out. “
