<<<<<THE GEAR WE BRING TO A SHOW>>>>>

The Fiddle

This is a German fiddle called a Werner, it is around 30 years old.  I got it in the 90s at Inter-City Violin Studios.   I have an external pickup by Braggs. 

Lots of people have asked me the difference between a violin and a fiddle.  They are the same instrument.

Clip-on TUNER

Being in tune is a must.  If you are just starting out getting gear, let this be the first thing you get. Easy tune up in noisy situations, even in the dark.
