Read a review of the DuShane violin by
Strings magazine editor, Erin Shrader.

From an early customer,
and the DuShane's namesake:

Gary, this fiddle is my new best pal. It works beautifully. I played 3 plugged-in gigs in a row last week - first a contra dance, then a Cajun dance for which I tuned down a full step, then an outdoor concert with a singer-songwriter, tuned back up to regular tuning. The fiddle adapted to the different atmospheric conditions, held its tuning perfectly (which is unheard-of) and sounded great whether through my amp or direct from my DI to the sound board. We compared it on the Cajun gig to the other fiddler's Baggs set-up, and everyone could clearly hear that my violin was superior. No "bite" with bow changes, just clean, balanced violin sound across all 4 strings. Plus it has a clear, sweet voice acoustically, is set up just right to play easily, and is pretty to look at. I love it. Thank you!
