The legendary Australian music icon James Morrison loves the Epoch douible bass, and he arranged for the Flame double bass to be featured in his big band of students at the 2012 Creative Generation - State Schools onstage.

Each year, the most talented dancers, singers, musicians and actors from Queensland state schools come together to stage one of the state's largest performing arts events. More than 1500 students from across Queensland showcase their talent by starring in the professionally produced show alongside leading professional artists.

Ian's humorous show draws on many musical styles from jazz, Latin American, gypsy and country. He creates an exciting, new and original blend which never fails to impress any audience.

Ian was honoured in the inaugural Golden Fiddle Awards in Tamworth in January 2005, by winning the category, Best CD by a Fiddler Soloist. The following year, he won the top award of best fiddler soloist in Australasia.

"Acoustic violins with inbuilt pickups all too often sound tinny or boxy. Not so with my Epoch. Sensible design and an ingenious pickup make this the most authentic sounding electric violin I've ever played! I want a second one!"
Ian Cooper – Virtuoso Violinist – James Morrison Band

"Congratulations on this fantastic violin of Ian Cooper's. It has the right groove and jive I need in this band!"
James Morrison

Andrew Clermont

Andrew Clermont is an international multi-instrumentalist and bluegrass champion.

A signature acoustic Epoch and an Australian sunset acoustic/electric take pride of place in most of Andrew's stage work around the world.

"It really does shine in a group, with its clear and bold sound. An Epoch taken straight off the rack can be used immediately and stand out in the best possible way. The Epoch’s electric sound turns heads and I love the raw unadorned timber sound."
Andrew Clermont multi instrumentalist and teacher
