This molded, adjustable bow hold for Violin or Viola bows fits on top of the bow grip. It is designed to provide optimal placement of the players hand for better comfort and control, helping to maintain perpendicularity between the bows hair and the instruments strings. Popular with string teachers, students as well as professionals. Great for comfort and reduces fatigue. "I suggest to all my students, that before they begin their lessons to obtain a BowMate. It gets them started off right away with establishing a good bow hold, and they quickly learn to develop and retain proper bowing skills ..emily w, , MI" What makes this product stand out among other teaching aids is its simple design. No bulky parts and it can be taken on and off the bow easily, without the need to remove parts. Its contoured, ergonomic design ensures the index finger is in the ideal position which, in turn, aligns the rest of the fingers and thumb (including the pinky) to fit your bow hold style. The result for beginner and intermediate players is accelerated advancement of their playing skills, ability to keep the bow hairs perpendicular to the strings, and a significant increase in the consistency and quality of their play. For experienced players and/or players experiencing hand discomfort, the BowMate delivers a high degree of comfort, allowing them to play much longer and with higher quality and control. BowMate features: • instant bow hold • quick installation • fits all hand sizes • fully adjustable • comfortable feel • reduces fatigue • light weight (4gm) • in use worldwide • made in USA • patent pending • money back guarantee "love your product!

This beautifully antiqued violin possesses a strong, stable voice with medium to medium-dark tone quality.

I would guess early to middle 20th century. Strictly from the fact that I bought it from a dealer in Vienna, I would guess it may actually have been made somewhere in that area. Very high arching. It's pretty beat up, but I see no cracks or structural issues. No case, no bow.

Thanks. http://www.kcfiddles.com/index.php?dispatch=categories.view&category_id=179 Mon, 6 Feb 2012 13:54 CST eric@fiddlehangout.com http://www.fiddlehangout.com/classifieds/detail.asp?cid=2910 For sale is a beautiful and intersting old Mother-of-Pearl Inlay Fiddle. Completely luthiar restored and refinished, this old girl is ready for many more years of play. I want to offer this to my Fiddle Hangout friends before going off to Craigs List / EBAY. My luthiar and my teacher both agree that it is probably late 1800's to early 1900's German. Dark and rich "fiddle" tone, especially nice on the low register, but very clear on the upper register as well. The only label indicates the restoring luthiar as Christopher Bond from Texas. The old faceplate cracks are repaired and solid, no sound post or bass bar cracks. Chestnut brown finish with light varnish. Old peg holes have been rebushed and fitted with new pegs, new sound post and bridge, new Wittner tailpiece and new Zyex strings. Recently setup by Joe Wetzel from Greenville Indiana. I was told it should be ~$1000 to $1200 at a retail fiddle shop. Return for refund if not satisfied and email if you would like more pictures or further information. Sun, 5 Feb 2012 19:00 CST eric@fiddlehangout.com http://www.fiddlehangout.com/classifieds/detail.asp?cid=3850 GOOD GIBSON Violin, Dated November 1940. V-15 model. This violin is in very good condition, just a few of the typical various small dings, etc you usually see. Neck and sides are mostly clear maple, 2 pc back has good, broad descending flame. This model has the faux purfling. Violin is very clean, finish is shiny and in very good condition too, no musty smell. Just gone over and set up with a new bridge (good quality blank) and has good (Dominant) strings w/ silver D string and Pirastro Gold Label E string. The violin has a good voice, strong and clear, even across the strings, not too bright and not tubby sounding, has nice projection too. A good violin than needs nothing done to it, it is ready to go. Includes a rough, basic old shaped hard case. I think they only made these violins for around 5-6 years, production ended with the shift to the war effort. $1,100. Own a piece of Gibson Americana; a good, clean violin in great shape with a good sound. 48 hr approval, return must be in same condition, buyer covers all the S/I. Sat, 4 Feb 2012 20:19 CST eric@fiddlehangout.com http://www.fiddlehangout.com/classifieds/detail.asp?cid=3849 Good Roth Violin, 1964. Strad 1700 model. This violin is in very good condition, has a few of the typical various small dings, etc. Unusual situation that it comes with the very nice original hardshell case and also the original Roth certificate of authenticity. The Caspari pegs work well. Back and sides are well flamed with tight narrow flame, neck has good flame too, hard to capture in the picture. Violin is very clean, and the finish is shiny and in very good condition too. Has Roth label, brand, and serial number inside (matches certificate). Just gone over and set up with a new bridge (good quality blank) and new Dominant strings w/ silver D string. The violin has a good voice, good warmth, and is even across the strings with a good bottom end and a nice E too. This is a quality violin than needs nothing done to it, it is ready to go. Roth violins hold their value, this is much higher quality than those from the 70’s and 80’s. $1,250 for a quality violin in great shape with a good sound. Sat, 4 Feb 2012 20:01 CST eric@fiddlehangout.com http://www.fiddlehangout.com/classifieds/detail.asp?cid=3845 Maggini copy with Perfection pegs in good condition. Set up by Geoff Seitz in St. Louis (www.seitzviolins.com) who planed the finger, installed new bridge, adjusted the soundpost, and installed the Perfection pegs. Currently has Helicore heavy strings. Rectangular case included (see pictures). The fiddle has a big sound with plenty of volume, but is not harsh. I played it with bluegrass and old time bands and it blended perfectly. The label says Maggini 1631 which is typical of these Maggini copies, and another sticker from the Boston String instrument Company. Please email me with any questions. I give a 10 day full return policy. Sat, 4 Feb 2012 08:57 CST eric@fiddlehangout.com http://www.fiddlehangout.com/classifieds/detail.asp?cid=3844 New Zyex 4/4 violin strings, medium tension, ball E.

Fri, 3 Feb 2012 22:27 CST eric@fiddlehangout.com http://www.fiddlehangout.com/classifieds/detail.asp?cid=3839 I am looking to buy a 14" viola. A used, student quality viola would be preferable, but I will consider all affordable options. Dings, scratches, repaired cracks--all are okay. Thanks! Fri, 3 Feb 2012 21:32 CST eric@fiddlehangout.com http://www.fiddlehangout.com/classifieds/detail.asp?cid=3715 I've got two nice lefty violins, for sale because I've moved onto viola fairly soon after starting on violin. The Gliga below has been played probably 20 hours, and the Evolution Violin hasn't been played more than 10 min :) The attached pic is of all 4 of my lefty violin family - the two violas are NOT for sale :) The Gliga is a "Gems 2", e.g. their upper level student model, with an upgraded M2 pernambuco bow, plus lefty-compatible shoulder rest, Gliga supplied case, etc.. about $675 from them including tax, etc - yours for $550. The electric Evolution is a lovely carved maple box, that is very quiet unplugged but sounds great plugged in, and has a cool frequency cut switch to tweak your sound to match the amp or the room you are playing in. It's the EV2LG pictured at http://www.evolutionviolin.com/ev2.htm SN 1013 - they haven't updated it's sold status. Comes with unused bow from EV and case. $500 each, shipped/paypalled in ContUS, or $900 for both. $50 off one for a cash/pickup in Los Angeles.

It has a 1 piece European maple back, maple sides and neck, 2 piece European spruce top. The fingerboard,pegs and chinrest are ebony. The tailpiece is a Wittner Ultra.This fiddle has Helicore Heavies on it. The varnish is a Canada Balsam Linseed oil varnish, my own recipe.

I can be contacted through the fiddle hangout. Thu, 2 Feb 2012 16:03 CST eric@fiddlehangout.com http://www.fiddlehangout.com/classifieds/detail.asp?cid=3831 I made this fiddle in 2011. It has a 2 piece European maple back, maple sides and neck, 2 piece European spruce top. The fingerboard and pegs are ebony. The chinrest and tailpiece are handmade by me. This fiddle has Helicore Heavies on it. The varnish is a Canada Balsam Linseed oil varnish, my own recipe. The fiddle is not as red as some of the pictures are showing it.

Thu, 2 Feb 2012 14:25 CST eric@fiddlehangout.com http://www.fiddlehangout.com/classifieds/detail.asp?cid=3823 Appears to be your standard-issue German lion-headed fiddle; I would guess about 1830 (I bought it from a man who said it had been in his family that long). Neck is un-mortised. There are traces of inked purfling visible. No case, no bow. Wed, 1 Feb 2012 11:33 CST
