ARTIST REVIEWS
Bridge Octave
Peter Knight
Although his name is synonymous with the seminal Folk-Rock Band Steeleye Span and more recently with his own trio Gigspanner, Peter has avoided being categorised purely as a Folk Musician due to the diversity of musical genres that he chooses to apply to his music making, and to the musicians he has chosen to work with.
Review of The BRIDGE Octave Violin
"For the last few months I have been playing an amazing new violin developed by BRIDGE. It is the same size as their AQUILA violin, but tuned an octave lower. The sound is more like a cello than a violin, and i will always remember the first time I put bow to string and heard what this wonderful instrument has to offer – what a sound!"
Brian McNeill
Brian has been described as ‘Scotland’s most meaningful contemporary songwriter’ (The Scotsman); add to that his work and influence as performer, composer, producer, teacher, musical director, band leader, novelist and interpreter of Scotland’s past, present and future and you have a man who has never stood still. He has performed around the globe, both as a soloist and with some of the era’s most influential bands, including Battlefield Band, which he founded in 1969, and Clan Alba.
Review of The BRIDGE Octave Violin
"My two Bridge violins are what I've been waiting for all my playing life. They are the first electric instruments I've ever had which are capable of giving me a truly acoustic sound when amplified."
"The Brian McNeill Signature model just soars, and my Octave model comes across on stage like the most responsive cello in the world."
"I just don't think they could be bettered."
