We now have a violin maker making violins at Fiddlershop. His name is Peter White and has made over 250 violins and has taught many great successful violins makers the trade.

He is also a old time fiddler and started turning me onto some new stuff.

Peter just shared this with me and I enjoyed it so much that I wanted to share it with you guys.

@fiddlerman any timeline on these fiddles Peter is making?  Wondering when there might be a demo video.  Are you guys planning on doing a bunch of in house builds?  You could call them the fiddlerman Miami model :)   just sayin'

Well never mind on that ⬆ 😁.  Don't think I'll be in the market for a 12,000 fiddle anytime soon.  I saw a demo video you guys had posted and checked out the price.  Sounded great though!

I was interested, too. But, $12000 is a "bit" above my price range. blink

Sorry, but yes, they are pricy. Truth is that any American made violin is going to be expensive simply because it takes a lot of time, knowledge and skill to make a great violin from scratch.

And totally understandable.  I was poking fun at my own naivety about that.  I have a great fiddle in the soloist.  Something to grow into for a while.

We realize that @Fiddlerman We'll just have to start saving up. I would love to own one of those handmade fiddles.
