First: MERRY CHRISTMAS all you electric fiddlers!
I'm a little saddened...well, actually a medium saddened that Zeta music has gone out of business. A goodbye note on the their site woulda been nice/with some add'l comments about where to get service on the violins and synthony (I have a version 1 synth)
Oh, well, the competition is out there in the electric violin market... so many designs and sound qualities... I just hope I don't have to go shopping for one soon ☺

A cheap Chinese electric violin started my string madness! You can just see it behind on the wall. I now own three violins and a cello and I'm looking at another electric. I actually like practicing on the electric and when I plug into my guitar stomp boxes, I get some really interesting effects. I like lots of reverb, make it sound like you are playing in a Cathedral.

I first was exposed to electric violin when I got picked up hitchhiking in LA with my viola by one of the Mother's of Invention just after they recorded Hot Rats. I've been hooked ever since. Sugarcane Harris was awesome!
