Inspired by rock legends like Eddie Van Halen, the Viper offers a bold, expressive range with up to seven strings and ergonomic features that alleviate common playing strains. Its innovative pickups enhance sound quality, making it a favorite among adventurous violinists. However, traditionalists may balk at its unorthodox appearance and amplified sound. Overall, the Viper stands as a triumph for those daring enough to break classical norms.

Lindsey Stirling is featured here in the YouTube video (around 1:12) for her rendition of "Phantom of the Opera".

Lindsey Stirling has said on the Wood Violins website: "The Viper Violin is definitely the most rockin’ violin I have ever played. Stepping on stage with a violin that cool makes a statement before even a single note is played. Along with having a beautiful edgy look, the Viper has a clean and round sound that can beautifully cut through a loud mix. In my opinion, it is even comparable to an amplified acoustic which is extremely hard to find in any electric sound."
