"As a British string arranger, string contractor and violinist now based in Los Angeles, I've seen lots of different brands of electric violins, cellos and basses in action. I'm completely satisfied with my choice to play Bridge instruments whenever I need an electric violin. They are very rugged for touring, have a nice low action, have handy volume and tone controls, and always sound dope. I love the fifth string on my Lyra; wouldn't want to perform without it. In fact, I'd love to try a Bridge acoustic violin or electric acoustic violin with a fifth string.... that's a hint, Bridge people!
I've played my Bridge violins with the Smashing Pumpkins, Elton John, Jane's Addiction, Michael Stipe from REM, Tiesto, Sister Bliss (from Faithless), Asian Dub Foundation, FreQ Nasty, Nick Jago from Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, Alabama 3, Alex Parks and many other great musicians in the UK and US."
