Official ambassador 2021–2025

The significance of a 3Dvarius ambassadorship

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. The role played a key part in shaping my sound, my performances and my artistic identity as an international artist.

My career is built on collaborating with industry leaders who are pioneers in their fields. That pursuit of international quality and forward-thinking innovation is why I am proud to work with brands like 3Dvarius and partners like Prim Strings to bring out 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 several high-end brands. My work can’t be tied to a single exclusive partnership, which lets me choose the best tools for each musical context.

This ambassadorship was a defining chapter in my career, establishing a long-term artistic foundation that continues to influence my sound and instrument choices today.

My instruments

Two 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 setup includes two unique, custom-built electric violins from 3Dvarius, which are the core of my sound.

The “Line” 6-string: my foundation for looping

For a looping artist, the 6-string 3Dvarius Line is a game-changer. A traditional 4-string violin is limiting when building complex layers. This custom 6-string model gives a massively expanded harmonic and melodic range, so I can build deep bass lines and rich chordal structures and create the full sound of a band from a single instrument. It is the foundation of my layered compositions.

The “Prism” custom: visual and sonic innovation

My second instrument is a one-of-a-kind “Prism” model designed for high-impact performances. Visually it is a work of art, and it becomes a conversation centerpiece at high-end social and corporate events.

This build also features a custom controller for per-string volume, a rare modification that gives me an unparalleled level of sonic control on stage, with 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 offer distinct, tangible advantages for my work.

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 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 a perfect balance of the instrument.”
A shared vision

Laurent Bernadac and the 3Dvarius concept

A great partnership is about more than a great product; it is about a shared vision. My collaboration with 3Dvarius was also an alignment with its founder, Laurent Bernadac.

Laurent’s philosophy was not just to build another electric violin, but to redefine it as a high-end, contemporary instrument that merges cutting-edge technology with flawless design.

That vision of pushing boundaries is what connects us. Being a 3Dvarius ambassador meant carrying that vision of innovation and quality forward in every performance.
