Read 28 Reviews   |   Write a Review

Ease of assembly and an outstanding price make this one of our most popular kits. You'll learn about instrument making, and have a lot of fun along the way! If you're a first-timer, this kit is a fine head start and a convenient alternative to building from scratch. Many guitarmakers tell us this kit gives them a fun break and a valuable learning experience, too.

All the parts to make a standard 4/4-size violin are included, for convenient one-step ordering. You won't need a fully equipped woodshop—hand tools will do, because the machine work has already been done for you. Complete easy-to-follow assembly instructions are included. Our fiddle kit is a fine head start for making your own violin.

Welcome to the world of fiddle building! The fiddle kit you're about to build has a quality spruce top with curly maple sides and back. This kit is designed for the beginner and intermediate builder, with enough of the difficult work already done to give you a great head start. The fine handwork is left to you, with the help of these instructions.

You'll need a flat work surface, approximately 2' x 4' or big enough for your fiddle.

Please read these instructions before starting on your fiddle, so you'll understand the process and how the parts fit:
