Pochette and Backpacker Fiddle News

• The Adventurer Travel Fiddle will be distributed through other channels than our online store (www.fiddleandbowstore.com) in the near future. They will no longer come with free case (i.e. you'll have to pay for the type of case you want).
• In several weeks, the Travel Master will be available with several options for holding a shoulder rest besides the spring-loaded "wings" that are currently used. There will be some pricing changes associated with the introduction of the new options.
• We are working on a really tiny pochette
• We are working on a custom 5-string pochette (a commission)
• We are also working on an inexpensive pochette geared towards fiddlers' convention buyers, who generally don't buy expensive instruments from vendor, but often try to sell vendors their instruments for high prices.

Note to fiddlers' convention goers--we are interested in good old instruments that are PLAYABLE (have it strung and tuned) and free of cracks...we will accept expertly repaired small cracks. Please don't take it personally if we don't buy your instrument. If you want to sell us a bow, get it re-haired, as it is pretty hard to evaluate a bow with no hair or old hair.
