NEW Adventurer Fiddle by Rickert & Ringholz

Our newest travel fiddle (pochette) was inspired by a 'box pochette' spotted by our friend in Australia, Jerry Everard, at the Victoria and Albert Museum.

See the images below (click on any of the images, including the box pochette on the left, for a larger view).

Many thanks for this - I can understand now how loud these instruments can be. The one I made also has a sound post so that both front and back plates vibrate like a normal violin - and I would need a mute to play this in a hotel room! (http://fourstrings.wordpress.com) After going through the construction process I have even more respect for the work you guys put into your instruments.

Cheers
