Some obvious ones:
Gentle Giant King Crimson Slightly less obvious: Magma (Live/Hhai features awesome violin work) Cheer-Accident (Their latest album has some beautiful violin moments, particularly the final section of Blue Cheadle... utterly spine-tingling).

These prog groups came to my mind:
Darryl Way's Wolf (Canis Lupus is a great album!) Esperanto Arti e Mestieri Mauro Pagani's first solo work Quella vecchia locanda Sagrado Coracao da terra |

I recommend you two Japanese progressive rock bands with a strongly avantgarde violinist.
Twin Tail ROVO Yuji Katsui, the violinist, is a key person and a soundmaster of both bands. |

I'll second the vote for Gazopacho, the violin work on Night in particular is beautifully haunting.
In addition, Moongarden uses a good amount of violin on "Songs from the Lighthouse", the song "Flesh" features a two minute violin solo in the vein of Night. |

Uzva has some violin here and there. I miss seeing them live, I guess they're taking a break now and hopefully writing new material. |
