Why I drew an electric violin.
Fri 29th Jun, 2007

Im a clasically trained violinist, but decided to take an alternative route, and swapped to the electric violin.

I found I could literally make it sound like any instrument I wanted with my effects board, and found it so versatile and original, it also looks so cool.

Some people aren't in favour of the electric violin, but to my mind it makes the instrument more accessible to the younger kids who are looking to get into music, and provides a real alternative to the common place guitar!
