It is our great fortune to feature this stunning violin made right here at Fiddlershop by our very own Andrés Modesto Martinez Bilva. This violin was made entirely from start to finish with the unparalleled craftsmanship of our head luthier. It's rare that violin makers also excel in the set-up process, but we are fortunate to have a true master in our midst.
