As fast as possible they found in Uwe Heyer the ultimative "rhytm-maschine" for Violin Key. By this way they started together with Peter Rekowski (guitar) and Ralf Hemmers (bass) to play in local clubs around Duisburg, Germany. From the beginning the band played only their own songs and found a lot of fans by performing their lifeshows. As times goes by, Rekowski and Hemmers leaved the band, other musicans comes and goes until Mike Fengler (bass) get membered in 1988. After a long time of playing in spring 1994 the 17. years old Christian Casaccia (also leadguitar) found the way to the band of his cousin Charles Mesaros. Christian was a fan for such a long time (since he was 5 years old) and he played all the old songs, the band had nearly forgotten. In this formation Violin Key entered the BWS-Studios in winter 1995 to record a cd that was also called "Violin Key". After great deals all arround the world the Band splits in 1997 and only Charles and Uwe liked to make more music in the art of Violin Key. In 2004 Chris Hering (bass) get membered and since this time the name of the band is "Violin-Key"
