John Cale played a viola not a violin. He modified it by filing bridge down, & could sustain a three note drone. Usually string instruments in the violin family have a curved nut & bridge and the best you can do is only play double stops. Moe said that when they played at small venues Cale's viola sounded the jet engines on a Boeing 747.
edit: I had to fact check myself.
John Cale said it sounded like a B-52
