Christoph Noppeney of Hoelderlin plays viola, not violin. but I wonder why you did not mention Michael Karoli.

High Tide and Hawkwind had Simon House as violinist

The first violin-forward prog band that comes to my mind is FM, with the inimitable Nash the Slash (and later with the likes of Ben Mink, Aaron Solomon and Edward Bernard).
The damage that we do is just so powerfully strong we call it love

The damage that we do just goes on and on and on but not long enough.

Curved Air from the list but PFM, East of Eden and Spirogyra has nicely integrated violin vital for their sound.

Kansas, from this list.
Tull would have been a good inclusion, as well as Big Big Train.

and just remembered... so does Quella Vecchia Locanda. I'm not the biggest fan but they do what they do very well.

Plus the wonderful Zao and Art Zoyd... also Andre Fertier's Clivage  oh and Comus of course

Curved Air and the Dregs are tempting but I went with UK ~

No Frank Zappa/Mothers? Jean Luc Ponty is still playing the music of Frank Zappa.

I miss ELO (Mik Kaminski) and FM. Actually is quite hard to choose especially between Kansas, UK and Mahavishnu (Jean-Luc Ponty years).

Easy vote for Kansas. Coulda' been UK if they'd had more output.

Voted UK over Crimson because KC not really violin-led. JLPonty and Didier Lockwood have some great stuff. Love Wolf's "McDonald's Lament". Love the violin on Bob Dylan's "Hurricane"!
