# MSI

For years, Dan Maloney was the lead luthier at Zeta Music, where he designed the Modern body, still one of their most popular shapes. Maloney Stringed Instruments exhibit an art deco aesthetic and a perfectionist's workmanship and attention to detail.  MSI violins are played by Boyd Tinsley of the Dave Matthews Band and represent a great bargain for a single-maker instrument with this level of refinement.
