I want to share my experience of breaking my chin-rest on my Aurora electric violin in a rehearsal by placing my violin down on an amp to step out a rap. Bam!!! Now I had a broken violin with which I had to play with bandaid rig that was very shaky and uncomfortable. I had a couple of real important out of town gigs coming up with GZA of the infamous group Wu-Tang Clan and his band the Phunky Nomads. Luckily I know the best electric violin shop simply named Electric Violin Shop and they Fed-Ex me a new chin-rest specifically for that instrument. This is a big shout out to EVS. If you want a great electric or acoustic electric violin you should definitely hit them up tell them PhearNone sent ya!
