Matt Bell Uses

I have been playing Wood Violins Vipers since around 1998.  I have owned 5 of them and it's the only solid body instrument I'll tour with.

I love the CodaBow Joule for attacking my 6 string and octave violins.  The CodaBow Marquise is perfect for for buttery smooth playing on my acoustic violins.

For acoustic-electric work, I use Glasser 5-string violins, violas, and octave violins.  They give me a huge, rich sound I can't get any other way.

I love Larsen Strings for their warmth, durability, and clarity.

Leatherwood Rosin gives me a feel and a sound I have not been able to get with any other rosin.

The Line6 Helix Family of products are the most powerful and versatile processors I've ever worked with.  The sounds I can get are unparalleled.

Electric Violin Shop has been incredibly supportive of my musical journey.  They truly care about the artists they serve.
