Fiddlerman Master Violin Outfit

I spent a couple of weeks watching reviews of the Fiddlerman violins and I decided to go with the Fiddlerman Master since it sounded really beautiful and matched my budget. The customer service was amazing, they went above and beyond and sent me a second video since I couldn't decide which violin I liked the most and they made sure I was satisfied with my purchase. When I received the violin it was really beautiful and the harmonics sounded quite brilliant and resonant, it seriously impressed me. The instrument has opened a lot since then and I am enjoying a lot its sound. The violin is very comfortable to play and it's easy to tune. I love the accessories as well. It makes me want to practice more each day! When I decide to upgrade again I will make sure to go with Fiddlerman! :D Thanks so much!

The Fiddlerman master violin was great! Plus it came with a bunch of necessary items, like a shoulder rest, a bow, and a case. Which were all good quality. The costumer service was amazing. They try to get you what you want with a VERY reasonable price.

I am simply thrilled with this wonderful instrument. I like darker almost "viola" sound for my violins and I chose the "Master" over the "Soloist" from the available videos for that reason. I am not disappointed to say the least! I chose an Holdstein Pernambuco 2-stars upgrade a bit by chance. I prefer bows on the heavy side. It is not heavy per se, but it is "solid" enough. So I am happy with that too. I am going back to violin after a 20+ years brake. Harmonics are a breeze! This violin is really easy to play. I am really enjoying myself. I can see me buying either the Soloist or one of the "Ming Jang Zhu 909" as soon as I am back in the saddle... Thank you to the wonderful violin makers and to the fiddlerman team!

Well this was actually my second violin. I rented a cheap violin from Griggs music in Daveport, Ia, who I hear have a world renowned luthier. The sound from the Master violin was a major leap forward in quality, with a much richer tone. The neck is a little bit thicker and the action a little higher (especially on the g string) than the violin I rented, but I'm not sure which one is "correct" having only been playing for 9 months. I did get a bow that I think sounds better than the one it comes with, a Dorfler pernambuco that cost $250. The Dorfler bow is heavier and gives a fuller sound. I'm very happy with the sound of the Master violin with the Dorfler bow. Violin came with Kaplan Amo's also, which are over $80 and will probably stick with them. This is a very good violin for the money. When I got the violin I played it quite a lot for about 5 to 7 days then went to some local shops to try out some other violins in the $1500ish range and even took one I liked home to try out ( a Krutz 400 I believe it was. I liked the Master the best though. I play a lot of instruments and write and record my own material. I'm just now getting decent enough sounding to record and violin sounds very good on tape. Two thumbs up!

SO I received my new violin and was loving the sound, but I noticed some small blemishes in the finish. I tried to ignore them for a day, but in the end wrote to Fiddlershop, where they promptly sent me a new one and I simply loaded up the first one and sent it back. Everything was smooth and the violin is awesome. You can not go wrong with the product or the company.
