It is tuned an octave below normal violin, i.e. between viola and cello. It was developed in USA by Barcus-Berry. Jean-Luc Ponty, Michał Urbaniak and Elek Bacsik were among the first jazz violinists to play it. Fiddler Vassar Clements brought the instrument into the progressive bluegrass scene, and Urban Blitz into a rock music context.
