Got a Super Fiddle from Royce, a "Suwanee" number 1004. 

I had been looking for an "upgrade" fiddle for a few years and had been considering one of Royce's revoiced instruments.

Heard this violin on Royce's youtube channel and had to try it. At first I was reluctant, because it was actually a new, re-voiced model and I like the old ones. But, this fiddle is everything I was looking for, it is powerful but sweet sounding, resonant across all strings. The tone is beautiful, full, complex and deep. It also plays easy, smooth.

I would highly recommend Royce if you want a superior fiddle. He was excellent to work with, is extremely knowledgeable about fiddles and their construction. He knows how to get the most out of each instrument. 

You should try one of his fiddles if you are looking for a really good one. I would love to buy another myself.
