The new Rickert Professional Performance Fiddles are set up to be powerful and loud...bassy on the G and D and brighter on the A and E. Unless you specify otherwise, they are set up as professional performance or contest-winning fiddles with low action at both the nut and bridge. These are German-made (Meisel or Christian Benker) violins that we have been holding for several years that are converted to the seriously "tricked out" fiddle that Dr. Don Rickert generally uses when he performs or jams. The the new Wittner planetary internally geared pegs for quick tuning changes on stage are an option, and highly recommended for stage use, especially when changing between standard and cross-tunings is part of your performance...no peg created locks into tune faster than the Wittner pegs.

The Professional Performance Fiddle has a Wittner polycarbonate tailpiece with 4 integral fine tuners, which bring the most sonic power possible out of your instrument. We can install a tailpiece without fine tuners if you like. The fine tuners on the Wittner come in handy for those tiny adjustments that the competition or professional fiddler needs. A Wittner Flesh-style polycarbonate chinrest with Hill-type clamps is stock equipment.

The "stock" stringing is with D'Addario Helicores. For an extra $40, we will string it with Thomastik-Infeld SuperFlexible Rope-Core strings, which are about the most powerful fiddle strings ever created.
