Frank's Fiddle Photos » Fiddle Showcase

#145 is a 5-string fiddle.  The back, sides and neck on this Carolina Poplar fiddle came from the Saras Family Farm east of Shoshone, Idaho.  The top wood is Englemann spruce that came from Idaho north of Brundage Mountain in central Idaho.  The back on this fiddle is highly figured and shows up really well with the reddish-brown oil varnish that was used for the final finish.  This fiddle is set up with Prim steel strings on the A, E, D, G and a Helicore Viola C string.  The fiddle was made from a Maggini pattern, including Maggini "F" holes and double purfling.  The fiddle has good volume and is very even in tone and volume on the strings including the "C" string.  This instrument was completed in May 2007 and was sold in June 2007 at Grass Valley, California.
