The Strad's Playing Hub once again features SCHERTLER equipment, this time with two prominent violinists, Scott Tixer and Casey Driessen, sharing their approaches to amplified playing. This focus on amplified setups highlights the growing acceptance and integration of electronics within the traditional violin world.

Violinist, composer and multi-Grammy award winner Scott Tixer takes center stage in a new article delving into his amplified playing setup, right after another recent article more focused on his career and playing style. Scott has chosen the STAT V SET over a decade ago, and in this article he applauds its sound quality and acoustic fidelity, as well as its effortless installation and featherweight design, which preserves the instrument's acoustic timbre while isolating his instrument's sound from capturing other instruments on stage.

Casey Driessen, known for his powerful and distinctive playing style, also offers insights into his amplified setup in another Playing Hub article. Driessen relies on a DYN V P48 active contact microphone paired with a YELLOW BLENDER preamp to achieve his desired amplified sound. This combination allows him to project his powerful playing while maintaining the natural characteristics of his instrument and exploring new sound scenarios with pedals and effects.

These The Strad's Playing Hub articles offer valuable insights into the amplified playing styles of these prominent violinists. By showcasing the role of amplification in shaping their unique artistic voices, these articles highlight once more SCHERTLER's reputation for providing high-quality amplification solutions to professional musicians.
