I have played the violin/fiddle for over 50 years now. I've always used a conventional acoustic instrument, although I almost bought a Zeta hybrid at one point. The Luis and Clark web site presents some interesting info and at 5K plus for a new violin, they must be serious about the quality. Makes me wonder if the carbon fiber body does a better job of keeping the instrument 'in tune'? That is one thing that still amazes me about some of the great artists, particularly in the jazz world; that they just do not get their instruments in perfect tune before recording.
Are there any Violin or Cello players out there?
I was reading a thread and one member mentioned that he was a professional musician. I was wondering if there were any of you that play the Violin or Cello.
I found an interesting company that manufactures both. They are made from Carbon Fiber, are said to sound terrific and are cheap, when compared to the cost of a really good wood instrument. The company is Luis and Clark.
Has anyone heard of them?
