Offered by Jill Swarbrick-Banks.
This was Dave's main violin, used solely in the last years of his life and played up until his death in June 2016. It features on his last studio album, Raison d'etre, released in 2010. This instrument was the replacement for his custom made 'Hale-Bopp' red violin, made for him by Michael Burnham in the late 1990s, and named after the comet of that time. Dave sold the Hale-Bopp to the English folk musician Sam Sweeney in the Noughties.
