Ted Brewer, who has been designing and producing electric violins since 1993, and whose most famous client is Vanessa Mae, moved into two workshops at The Terrace on 1st August 2007.
Ted produces individual hand crafted instruments, as well as the Vivo² a departure into more readily, widely available violins and his latest design the Sirius.
The instruments are assembled by hand in the company workshops at The Terrace in Lincoln. The result is a strong polycarbonate frame available in blue and purple colors or clear, all with metallic fleck, as well as in a completely clear body option.
Standard high-quality features include: ebony fingerboard and chinrest; piezo charge pick-up; digitally-controlled analog charge amplifier; Grover machine heads; fine adjusters built into an aluminum tailpiece; and Tomastic Dominant strings.
“The sound is stunning,” says Ted, “as a result of a new carbon-fiber bridge design and our advanced TBV audio system. For more extrovert users, a built-in sound-to-light facility brings two vertical banks of super-bright LEDs into operation, sending light pulsing along the length of the instrument in response to the music.”
Finger-light, microprocessor-controlled touch-buttons within the violin body provide fast and easy control of volume and tone. Settings are stored by the processor memory even when the battery (supplied with the violin) is removed. There is a ¼-inch jack-socket and a separate mini-jack headphone socket for use when practicing.
UK musical instrument magazine Music Mart wrote of the Vivo2: “You’ve got eye-catching good looks, a superb sound from a responsive instrument, easy controls and features, and your own personal light show! What more could a 21st century violinist require?”
Ted has been living in Lincoln for three years now and has moved his business to The Terrace. He says; “I chose the workshops (at The Terrace) as they are well designed, have plenty of natural light and the building is in the centre of the city. I think the whole concept of a building dedicated to the creative industries is fantastic.”
