Thank you for doing this review! There's so little knowledge out there about them, especially from seasoned veterans like yourself. The Glasser violins just jumped up tenfold in my book!
Darol, you should get a couple of your friends together and make a video playing that thing complete with your chopping grooves. Looks like a fine fiddle.
"You could paddle your canoe and play it later that night with it" or "play it underwater, take it to Mt Everest". 😂 LOVE IT!! Thanks for the wonderful review and the superb playing.
Very cool. How much trouble would the carbon construction save vs wood? Might it earn itself back in maintenance costs? For the less trained ear, what would you compare the acoustic tone to?
I tried out a Glasser, a Realist and a London AES 5 string, and ended up buying the London AES. All three were nice, but the London was superior for me. Of course, it cost significantly more than the Glasser and the Realist but is totally worth it IMO. The acoustic capabilities of the Realist and the London were significantly better than the Glasser, which is part of what sold me on it.
Hey, I am just thinking about either AES London or Golden Tasman. What´s the style of music you play and do you also use pedals? I think London is passive, right? Thanks a Lot for your answer.
It has a good sound but there is a lot of buzz coming from the amp. It seems like the sheilding in the electrics is not very effective. That would definitely put me off.
Thinking of starting cello, been playing electric bass for years. If I get a carbon cello with whitner pegs I won't have to put up with that luthier BS 😅
I just ordered the acoustic version and now I’m wondering can you order the electric Chin rest and bridge separate to upgrade your existing acoustic? just curious
The A & D Strings have room for the tailpiece manufacturer to improve. Something even they don't actually know more than a finished product. Sell it and keep selling without major design improvements.
It's beautiful. I love that it has the traditional shape with corners, and the green composite weave pattern is so cool looking.

Nice job and great playing! Now I know what I want for Xmas!
NY is New York, Darol. I've loved your playing for a long time.
Thanks for the review.

Thanks so much for the review. I've been on the fence about this instrument and the review helped quite a bit.
D'addario Helicore 5 String Violin strings would rock
Excellent review. Thank you for posting. 🙏 🎶 🙏

Thanks Carol. Later this year I'll be traveling, living in a van permanently. This could take the environmental changes better than my Realist.
This video sold me, just pulled trigger on one just like this one!
I like it.this is my first time.I purchased one already so I can play the violin with out plugging it to acoustic amplifier right

One not good thing is the little resonans of harsh, but it sounds reealy good at all
Saw you at Wintergrass a few years ago but not this year. I have a five string NS but I would like an electric violin that looks like a violin.
Bluetooth at 10:10 second mark.

Darol, I'm going to make sure mine is unplugged when I play it underwater. Just sayin'!
Great video!

Boston, Bose or JBL amps on bluetooth tech. Really nice though.
Why the heck is there 5 strings, what did I miss?
5 string violins/violas are not uncommon. My understanding is that it has the E string of a violin, but also the low C of a viola.
Yep! 5 string is sort of a viola violin hybrid! Considering getting one lately

What?
Have you ever had problems with them opening up?
How long do you think the AAA Batteries would last?
How much is it.
Did you end up keeping it or sending it back?
Sorry , DAROL
Maybe you could get some lessons on how to use a camera so that you can get closeups in focus ! Otherwise nice review
