Fiddle Kit
This curly maple kit is a great introduction to fiddle making.

I just finished building one of your fiddles. I couldn�t wait to play it, so I strung it up without any varnish/finish whatsoever and it sounds absolutely beautiful, with strings that resonate with the slightest touch! I have played expensive violins, but this one takes the cake by far. I�m off to Ireland soon and will be doing sessions with this one for sure.
