I found fiddlerman.com and that's where I started learning to play the violin! Everyone is friendly and helpful. A professional fiddler actually views your video and offers advice on how to get better free. He has answered several question for me personally. I have leaned a lot from this site. GO see for yourself. We will happy to have another member.
I have made a few purchases from this site. The EXPERT ADVICE is better than you could hope. Things are shipped quickly and safely. For violin and fiddle supplies or instruments this is the place to buy! Pierre wants everyone to play fiddle so he takes ALOT of guess work out of purchases.
