But, just recently, I had a chance to play a David Gage Realist Violin: http://www.davidgage.com/store/product_info.php?cPath=44&products_id=361 It's an okay sounding instrument, but really neat in that it's still a half decent acoustic instrument, but it's got the electronics elegantly and subtly integrated. Just thought I'd throw that one into the mix... though I haven't done enough research into electric violins to give you meaningful feedback on how they compare to each other. _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
