The new Double-Fat Strad Octave Violin has been getting attention of late. I am confident that the newest iteration of the Fat Strad 5-String Violin will be getting some good attention once a few are out there in the world in the hands of accomplished players. These instruments sound incredible; powerful (loud), with a rich warm tone.
If you are at all serious about purchasing a purpose-built acoustic octave violin, you will want to check out some short videos of the new Double-Fat Strad Octave Violin:
Some vintage videos of the Fat Strad 5-String Violin have stood the test of time. The new Fat Strad VI 5-String sounds even better. There will new videos once we get it into the hands of the accomplished players.
