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.

Good stuff! Bruce is an icon in Old Time. My teacher studied under him.

@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.

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.
