I have installed the FASTER Titanium in two of my most valuable instruments, a violin, and a viola. Not only have I noticed a neat acoustic response, which was already very good, but it has also enhanced both instruments’ virtues. A richer sound is noticeable, so are also resonant harmonics, ease of projection, and crystal-clear slurring and string crossing, even in fast passages. Besides, ranges in both instruments are better balanced, especially in high positions. Furthermore, the viola has lost a soft wolf tone that it usually had.
Although I must confess that I am somewhat skeptical about innovations in a tradition that has spanned for four and a half centuries, I also have to admit that FASTER is something unique and a work of genius. Besides, its straightforward setup and lack of intrusion as to the structure or esthetics of the instrument, make it very trustworthy for the musicians.
I, therefore, recommend, without hesitation, FASTER to all my fellow musicians. It’s something unique. Bravo, Maestro Lozano!
