When I first started to accompany female singers the violin and the vocals clashed. They were to much in the same range. So I picked up the viola to be at least a bit lower, but I never felt familiar with this instrument and I also missed the e-string while soloing. I finally found out about acoustic 5-string violins.

I compiled all my experiences with the 5-string violin to a book. It's filled with exercises, chord patterns and a lot of informations about this instrument.

It will be released soon!
