"I had searched for years looking for the perfect "real" violin that sounded good when plugged in. I used ordinary piezo bridge pickups, but they just didn't sound real enough. All my searching stopped with the ZETA Acoustic Pro."

Simple yet elegant in design, Zeta’s Educator Uprite brings new Form and Function to Music Education. A professional quality instrument, the Educator Uprite has been specifically designed for use by music teachers and students. From recitals and live performances to classroom teaching and practice, the Educator Uprite delivers excellent acoustic-electric tone and stylistic versatility.
Zeta's patented Strados Uprite pickup system delivers a clean, rich natural string tone. Whether used as an analog pickup or a digital MIDI pickup in conjunction with the Zeta Synthony II MIDI Controller / Synthesizer (sold separately), the Educator Uprite’s Strados pickup system delivers beautiful tone without feedback.
Zeta's proprietary internal active preamp system increases the power of the pickup signal from each individual string, leading to separate internal gain controls to provide for even string balance. Two internal 9-volt batteries provide over 1,000 hours of service on average.
The active electronics and on-board volume, treble, and bass controls provide extensive tonal flexibility for performance and recording applications.
- Plug headphones into the auxiliary output jack for practice privacy.
- “Play-a-long” with the music by connecting a CD player or other music source into the auxiliary input jack.
- Use the built-in volume control to blend the level of the incoming music signal with the volume of the instrument to get the perfect “practice mix”.
- For recital performances use the standard 1/4” analog output jack and Zeta’s AP-12 Amplifier to fill the concert hall with rich, feedback-free sound.
- Explore the world of digital music through Zeta’s proprietary MULTI-OUT-MIDI output jack and rack-mountable Synthony II MIDI Controller / Synthesizer.
The Educator Uprite is a new generation of upright string basses- with a 41 ½" scale (equivalent to a ¾ size upright bass) the Educator Uprite provides a fretless upright sound in a portable and affordable instrument.
The Educator Uprite’s graceful form echoes the classic acoustic upright bass outline in a fusion of slim lines and stylistic body dimensions, providing easy access for bowing or playing pizzicato. The body is select natural-finished alder tonewood, and the “set neck” is hardrock maple with a hardwood fingerboard. The retractable end-pin and detachable upper-bout guide allow personalization of the "fit" of the bass by providing height adjustment and body depth support to simulate an acoustic upright bass’s body dimensions.
The Educator Uprite bass uses standard ¾ scale medium gauge upright bass strings and heavy duty bass tuning machines.
The Educator Uprite includes a soft padded gig bag, which features a carrying handle as well as back straps for easy portability.
An optional tripod support stand can be mounted to the bass to hold it in an upright playing position, allowing the bass to be "playing ready" on stage at all times.
The Educator Uprite is truly...the Ultimate Teaching Tool
