What early 70's rock bands had violins?

I am trying to find any bands from late 60's to early 70's that had violin or electric violin.

Jethro Tull also used Violins in the studio (minstrel in the gallery is a good example), along with UK although most of their stuff would have been later. Didn't Fairport Convention employ strings too? Kansas still has some of my favorite rock and roll violin, viola, cello recordings ever. I don't really like the song Dust in the Wind, but I love the strings.

She's the one who played on Dylans Desire LP and toured with the Rolling Thunder Review. She has a very distinctive sound, and the LP is obviously violin driven. The sound was very good. It's not just violin though, there is a solid bass and drum underpinning with a little vocal thrown in there occasionally. It also has guitar and some piano. It will have to be found used since I'm sure it has been out of print for 25 years. I just bought a copy for $1.00.
