Fiddarci Lutherie Professional Model Fiddle Shep Jones, Owner and Master Luthier at Fiddarci has outdone himself with the introduction of the new Professional Model. Whereas the “Standard” has a single “slab-cut” back (note: Stradivari commonly used this type of back), the “Professional” has a stunning highly-flamed two-piece back. The varnish recipe has been changed (a trade secret) for the new instrument, the top graduations have been tweaked, as has the bassbar to obtain even more beautiful power and responsiveness to bowing nuance; which is critical to Irish and Scottish style fiddlers

Professional Performance Fiddle by D, Rickert Design 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 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.
