That's the song.

And what violin is she playing? And when you're watching the video, pause at 0:27, what kind of pedal is she using to create those different sounds?

Thanks SOOO much!

Answer 1

the piece is called Bach's Partita in D - Gigue.

The violin appears to be an acoustic violin that has added a electric bridge.

The pedal used could be one of at least a dozen.  I am pretty sure that the video is not a live performance.

Once you have the electric fiddle visit the music stores for a trial of the different pedal.

The original music is definitely available. Do a Yahoo or Google search. I am sure it is available for free download. it will be much longer than what you see in the movie.

I am sure you are also aware that not all of what you hear is violin. There is a percussion track and possibly other instruments. I went back to listen to youtube agin and it has been removed.
