Reviews: The tapping of the brushes on the trap set is keeping up the rhythm, and Benny Brydern takes a Grappelli-inspired fiddle solo, borne on the catchy melody as Klein swings and swoons (LA Weekly)
  ...straightforward drumming and riffy guitar, overlaid with a killer violin solo by Benedikt Brydern, while the disc-long Battle 7 is possibly the best piece on the album...(Andy Thompson, Planet Mellotron, UK)
  ...Benny Brydern is sure and lyrical on his violin while the the rhythm foundation is rock solid (Vintage Guitar Magazine )
  In other words, he plays a hot fiddle alongside the hard-working Steele and they sound good. ( Allaboutjazz.com)

Used for early acoustic recordings, later as a novelty in vaudeville shows. You can see and hear it live when I perform with Janet Klein at the Steve Allen Theater in Los Angeles, CA.

 
Caught in action with my 1910 Stroh Viol.
