Epoch Musical Instruments - Players

Sally Carter

Sally bought her first Epoch 4-string in 1999. While she has been very happy with it, she became increasingly aware of the need for a lower sound. In July 2004, Sally bought her Hot Pink Epoch 5 String violin.

Sally is more than happy with it. Whether she is playing classical, bluegrass, Irish, blues or jazz, this beautiful instrument responds with clarity and style.

Sally comments: My fingers just fall into place on the fingerboard. The fifth string has not compromised my agility and double-stopping is a delight. The strings are closer together, so I can do more flash stuff, because it's easier, particularly as I have small hands.

Sally's band members are excited by the new sound this violin can produce.

"It's magical!" - Steve Smith ( drummer)

"WOW! Maybe I should get a new guitar", - Tom Connor ( Guitarist)

"What a sound!", - Pete Bonner ( Lead Singer)

" I'd have picked the colour black, but if I shut my eyes, I love it," - Andrew Charman- Williams ( Bass)

Performing as a session musician as both fiddle and key board player has won her respect in many genres - notably her work with Patrick Gambles on Tiger Trail and Gary Smith on Mexico.
