When you think of electric string instruments, the guitar is probably the first thing that comes to mind. To the electric rock string duo known as Fuse, however, it’s the electric violin that tops the charts.
The act, now the face of C Music TV, is comprised of virtuoso musicians Linzi Stoppard and Ben Lee. The artists reinterpret classic rock songs to be played on their electric violins—and what violins they are!
The pair of Bridge electric violins was coated by Swarovski with 50,000 of their signature crystals each. The resulting instruments were displayed at Harrods after a photocall to celebrate the launch of Fuse’s debut album. Of course, the duo played a few tracks from the album first.
These remarkable violins are insured for £1million (US $1.58 million), making them the most expensive electric violins in the world.
