Fiddlerman Left Handed Concert Violin Outfit

The Fiddlerman Left Handed Concert Violin was designed from the ground up for violinists overcoming injuries, lack of mobility and dexterity in their left hand, or for those who choose to play the violin in opposite hands or "southpaw" as it is occasionally called.

The violin is traditionally played on the left shoulder regardless of which hand is dominant, however Fiddlershop is proud to offer this gorgeous and affordable option for players that need to hold the violin on the right shoulder, or for left-hand dominant players who simply find it more comfortable.

We believe this community of players has been vastly underserved, and it's been far too long since a high-quality and affordable instrument was made specifically for them. 

Up until now, those who needed a "Left Handed" violin had to go through the process of retro-fitting a traditional violin which is extremely cost prohibitive, and explains why you will almost never find another "left-handed" violin to try. The alterations to a traditional violin include moving the bass bar, cutting a new bridge, resetting the soundpost, moving the fine tuners, getting a custom made reversed chinrest, filling and re-drilling the peg holes. The Fiddlerman Left-Handed Concert violin was built with all these adjustments from the very start.

Caring for your violin will extend its lifespan. Wipe the rosin off the violin, fingerboard, and strings with a soft, dry cloth after each use.

Wood instruments are sensitive to temperature and humidity extremes. In dry climates and seasons, we recommend getting a room or case humidifier. The ideal humidity is 40-60%. Below that, the glue and wood can become brittle resulting in open seams or cracks. Never leave your instrument in a car or outdoors.
