As an electric violinist specialized in jazz and live looping, having instruments that deliver reliability, precision, and artistic freedom is essential to my work.
From 2021 to 2025, this pursuit led me to collaborate as an official 3Dvarius ambassador. This role played a key part in shaping my sound, my performances, and my artistic identity as an international artist.
The Significance of a 3Dvarius Ambassadorship
My career is built on collaborating with industry leaders who are pioneers in their fields. This pursuit of international quality and forward-thinking innovation is why I am proud to collaborate with brands like 3Dvarius and other partners like Prim Strings for bringing the best sound of my instrument.
While 3Dvarius remains my preferred electric violin to this day, my artistic activity has since expanded to include collaborations with multiple high-end brands. As a result, my work can’t be tied to a single exclusive partnership, allowing me to choose the best tools for each musical context.
This ambassadorship represented a defining chapter in my career, establishing a long-term artistic foundation that continues to influence my sound and instrument choices today.
Aligning with 3Dvarius is a statement. It represents a commitment to high-end, world-class performance standards. It allows me to bring a unique, modern, and visually striking experience to audiences worldwide, reinforcing the international quality that I stand for.
Custom 3Dvarius Electric Violins
My work as a looping artist requires instruments that are exceptionally versatile and precisely tailored to my technical needs. My performance arsenal includes two unique, custom-built electric violins from 3Dvarius, which serve as the core of my sound.
The "Line" 6-String: My Foundation for Looping
For a looping artist, the 6-string 3Dvarius Line is a complete game-changer. A traditional 4-string violin is limiting for building complex layers. This custom 6-string model provides a massively expanded harmonic and melodic range. It allows me to build deep bass lines and rich chordal structures, creating the full sound of a band, all from a single instrument. It is the absolute foundation of my layered compositions.
The "Prism" Custom: Visual and Sonic Innovation for Live Events
My second instrument is a unique, custom “Prism” model designed for high-impact performances. Visually, it is a work of art—it’s incredibly ‘vistoso’ (visually stunning) and becomes a conversation centerpiece at high-end social and corporate events.
More importantly, this one-of-a-kind build features a custom controller for per-string volume. This is a rare and powerful modification that gives me an unparalleled level of sonic control on stage, allowing for detailed mixing and sound-shaping in real time.
Performance Advantages: A Modern Violin for a Modern Artist
My choice of instruments is purely practical. The 3Dvarius line is engineered for the professional, and my custom models provide distinct, tangible advantages for my specific work.
| Feature / Advantage | My Expert Take as a Professional Artist |
|---|---|
| Expanded Range (6-String Model) | “Essential for my looping work. It provides the bass and chordal range needed for complex, multi-layered compositions.” |
| Unique Aesthetics (Prism Model) | “A visually stunning instrument. At high-end corporate and social events, its modern, ‘vistoso’ look is a key part of the performance.” |
| Portability and Size | “As an international artist, I travel constantly. The reduced, practical size and durable 3D-printed build make it the perfect road-ready instrument.” |
| Custom Technology (Per-String Volume) | “My custom Prism gives me volume-level control per string. This unique feature allows for perfect balance of the instrument.” |
A Shared Vision: Laurent Bernadac and the 3Dvarius Concept
A great partnership is about more than just a great product; it’s about a shared vision. My collaboration with 3Dvarius is also a direct alignment with its founder, Laurent Bernadac.
Laurent’s philosophy was not just to build another electric violin, but to completely redefine it as a high-end, contemporary instrument that merges cutting-edge technology with flawless design. This vision of pushing boundaries is what connects us. Being a 3Dvarius Ambassador means carrying that shared vision of innovation and quality forward in every performance.
