Setup

Every Fiddlerman violin is set up and tested in our workshop to make sure it passes our rigorous 10-point inspection. Our incredibly talented team is here to help answer any questions you have, and make sure your instrument arrives safely.

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 wrestling in open seams or cracks. Never leave your instrument in a car or outdoors.

Visit our resource library for more helpful tips on how to take care of your violin.

All Fiddlerman instrument outfits come with a lifetime structural warranty with free lifetime adjustments on the instrument, and a standard one (1) year warranty on the included case, bow, and accessories.
