“I
am a violin player. I love the instrument. I love the feel and sound every time
my bow crosses the strings and how the violin sings with a sensuous voice and
incredible expressiveness. I believe it also has the capacity to produce the raw
power of aggressive sounds and machine gun articulations. When I first started
playing electric years ago, there was nothing out there that was cool, sleek and
hip. This is why I designed instruments that make audience’s jaws drop and provide
me with a passionate and emotional experience as a musician. Through these instruments,
I hope to share my vision for a more adventurous and musically satisfying experience
on the violin. I hope they provide the same level of excitement for you.”
