  • I have a Roth violin, it's about 80 years old. I love it, it's a German-made, Roth violin. – Lindsey Stirling (2014)
  • ...she reaches for Excalibur. Built by German maker Ernst Heinrich Roth, the instrument Stirling calls her favorite was built, she estimates, in the early 1900s. “It’s almost 100 years old,” she explains. I bought Excalibur when I decided I was really going to do this, when I said, ‘I’m going to be a professional violinist, so I guess I need a professional violin.’ And I went out and bought Excalibur. – Lindsey Stirling (2016)
