In an interview for Monsters and Critics, Lindsey Stirling has said, "I stopped using the Roth during my live performances because I sweat so much when I perform (eeeew lol!) and the excess moisture was starting to ruin the wood. So I purchased a Luis and Clark carbon fiber violin and have been using it for my live performances ever since. I also used it in my latest YouTube video collaboration with Pentatonix."
