"Bradivarius Violins are beautifully crafted and have a smooth deep tone. I take mine on tour all the time because it is a good functional instrument that works very well with a
pick-up"

BRADIVARIUS VIOLIN

DAIRE BRACKEN ~ Dublin, Ireland
"The Bradivarius is meticulously designed and crafted with many considerations including new robustness issues never before addressed that made the violin attractive to me as a performing and touring
artist. When it comes down to it, my main concern, as with many, is
the tone.

"I find my Higgins Violin to be
an instrument that combines both function and aesthetics. It is
beautiful and possesses quality workmanship, rich tone and good
responsiveness, whether played acoustically or amplified."

"Natalie's, Donnell's, Erin's, Daire's, Vassar's, and Sara's violins are all equipped with L. R. Baggs pickups. I find these to be the most natural sounding of any of the pickups that I have ever heard."
