I'd rather test drive the violin.
Too cool for words
Can you special order a 6-string? If you can check with Fortevio because they have their 6-string neck profile and radius perfect! 🤞🏻
Love it!

Will you guys consider making a Zeta 6-String? 6 is becoming the new standard and I only play 6-strings now.
Absolutely amazing

I heard it’s slow response when you hook it to pedals 
The blue color that you get on these instruments, just spectacular

Received today from ZETA's Poland dealer Henglewscy Music. Thank you Nell for sharing with us. An odd juxtaposition of heartwarming and heartwrenching at the same time. Violinist Pavlo Lesiuk, escaping from Ukraine and making it to Poland where resident Cellist Szymon Walenciak and Pavlo find a moment to share some music. Our prayers go out each day for all of Ukraine and all those impacted by the tragedy unfolding in Europe.

what is the price of a zeta violin?
ZETA Violins - do you have distributors in or near Toronto/Canada?
Wonderful!
Can One like….borrow one for a year…? Asking for a friend… will buy it once that friend pays in installments…
Ready for Day 2 . . . Oklahoma International Bluegrass Festival (OIBF) - Guthrie, Oklahoma. Despite some early rain yesterday . . . when the music started at 3:00 pm it was one gorgeous afternoon and night full of that sweet bluegrass sound resonating from the stage and parking lot. We all miss Byron Berline, a good friend and longtime supporter. I think he'd be touched by all the fans that have turned out and the great bands carrying on the legacy of the OIBF festival he started. Rest in peace Byron.
Back in the vendor tent we had a good number of players testing out our ZETA fiddles and mandolins. Our ZETA Stage Mando turned quite a few heads . . . more than one were seen returning a time or two . . . pulling some tone and checking out that pickup.
We're hoping to get one up on stage before long, perhaps tonight?
Tomorrow afternoon, Saturday, is the Young Bluegrass Musicians Scholarship Benefit Auction. ZETA is donating an Acoustic Pro 4-Stirng Fiddle for the auction. If you want to bid you can message me your bid. Auction starts at 4:00 pm Saturday. Serious bidders will be messaged by me live during the auction if desired. So this is a great opportunity to take part and support an over the top worthy cause and own a ZETA Pro 4 .

Very generous to donate a Zeta violin to encourage young string players !
Go ZETA! I know you will have a successful Day 2 spreading the ZETA love (which you do best). I’m hoping to make a trip to the factory mid October to say ‘HI’. Very best regards to Team ZETA!
There is a Zeta mandolin?

A wonderful violin that combines authentic traditionalism and advanced electric The fact that it is an important leap in the world of violin industry I wish you further development. I wish myself to own such a beautiful violin in the coming time.
