So far I have purchased 2 sets of strings a bow, fingerboard applique and one D string. When I broke a string I went straight to fiddlershop and a string was sent out imediately. I don't think you can find a better place and I have been to many other places.
I had paid for lessons from a different site but learned more from fiddlerman.com and it is free. Any problem you have will be answered there either from the tutorial videos, friendly forum or the live chat. Great projects to join in no mater if you are new or experienced.
