More information about my new innovative J4 violins
My idea was to make a violin specifically for ease and speed of playing. The cut away allows for easy reach up into the higher registers, and the uncluttered treble [bowing] side gives a feeling of confidence and freedom to the bowing arm.
Acoustically they work well too. The E strings are powerful and direct and the others are well balanced and sonorous, with just the right amount of 'cut' to them.
I call them Jazz/Swing, but they are equally at home playing any type of music..
I'm really pleased with them and think they will make an exciting addition to my unconventional range of fiddles.
Spoil yourself, come and try one soon !
