Excerpt from an email today from a former Nashville performer who is trying out one of my better fiddles:
"Last night I was up til the wee hours of the night playing the fiddle so I better go ahead and commit to buying it. I don't think at this point I can live without it...."
It's very satisfying and fulfilling to get that sort of response, especially when the customer has a very good basis for comparison, and had been looking for a good fiddle off and on for years.
That's one of the bigger reasons I do what I do.
Other reasons:
I love music and working with musicians.
I love to try to improve and learn every day, and to seek mastery. There's always challenge here, always more to learn.
I like to work with my hands, and see / hear the results of my efforts.
Fiddles are the sound I carry in my head.
