String Division - Michael Shulman, neo classical shred violin.
This is my first official clip on Youtube. The song is based on a Jimi Hendrix version of Bob Dylan's classic.

This clip is a testimony of sorts that you don't really need a "special" violin to rock.
Looks are only a part of the package.
This one is pretty much the worst violin that ever existed (no joke, I bought it for $200 new online). Pretty much the best example of a generic electric violin poorely executed. It is extremely heavy, roughly made and assembled in the factory somewhere in Korea with the awful pick-up/bridge construction that changes its volume/tone if only slightly moved side to side/back & forth (I'm talking 1/10 of a millimeter here) making it impossible to have a controlled sound/settings. For example - a simple procedure such as tuning your strings can result in a total unwanted change of sound. But the worst defect of all is the fact that the distance from the nut to the bridge is 7 millimeters shorter than it should be making it impossible to play in tune (even 1 millimeter makes a big difference for the violin).
In short - here you have a video of me rockin' the violin that is "off-tune" by design.
P.S. My new custom made electric violin "Black Dragon" (which took 10 months to make) is coming soon...

  • This is brilliant! It's even way better than the original version imo! I wish I could see you playing in person.

  • Thank you!

  • Niccolo Paganini (the Eddie Van Halen of the 19th century) would surely dig this. He's not here, so I'll do it for him. Thanks for posting!

  • You're welcome!

    Thank you.
