Looks bitchin + hard angles makes the violin 15% more stealthy and tactical.
I imagine the little brass raiser sounds warmer too. Got this to fit a set of those insanely thicc gut-imitation strings and it was a real sprucing up on my 100 yr old violin. On second thought it's probably the strings being warmer that's the main effect on sound. Still, very well made piece, I will no doubt trust the Conrad Götz brand for future tactical violin hardware needs.
