As a luthier myself I find your fiddle very interesting. A always like to see the thinking going out of the box and the limits being stretched a tad.

I like your Stradivari angle necks on your violins. Ergo non inclined necks on the back side.

Your Cadenza violin sounds beautiful. Nice round tone. How many violins have you made? Im very impressed.

Try a Flesch model chinrest. They mount in the center right over the tailpiece. They have a model with a hump and without a hump. I often use the one with the hump but I carve the hump off. If you watch yourself play you hold your instrument pretty much in the middle and not really on the cup part.

I had a viola made by a really famous luthier. It had a pretty wild "wolf" on open A. I loved the instrument and tried everything I could think of. It turns out it was fingerboard resonance the free end of the fingerboard would vibrate and make a difference frequency, it would rattle your teeth!. All I needed to do was ad about a 3 gram weight under the free end of the fingerboard. Like magic the wolf was gone!

Hi Bob, I searched but was unable to locate your website. I'm interested in knowing if this fiddle sold or if you still have it? Also, could you please tell me about where your fiddles start in terms of price? Thank you!

Hi Darrin, number 258 has found a home. My fiddles sell for $4,500. If you are interested I can send you KZread videos of the petals that I presently have. I do have 45 at this time available if you send me a private message on messenger I can send you those videos. Thanks

@@TheHappynot I think the best option is not to replace the fingerboard, but to have what they call a 'New York Neck Set' done. It is much less invasive and not as expensive. It will increase the fingerboard projection so it can have a taller bridge but with low action, and it will greatly increase the volume.
