Elizabeth (Zee) Crain

ElizabethZee“I knew I wanted to be a musician from a very young age. However, there was not much out there that was exciting and innovative and different in the string world. But then I discovered Wood Violin and after playing a Viper, two years prior to owning my own, I knew that one of Mark’s instruments was what I needed to take my music to the next level. I got my seven-string Viper when I was just a

Freshman in high school, and it changed my life forever! Now when I walk on stage, I make a statement even before playing a single note. On top of that, the tone quality of a Wood Violin is way beyond that of any other electric stringed instrument out there. Before Wood Violins, I was limited as to what I could do to make a living as a string player. Now, the possibilities are endless.”
