    Default My Big Fat Bush Fiddle

    My big fat bush fiddle, 15 1/2 in Viola. I built this over 1 year ago and only just started playing it again. My playing is probably as
    good as it will ever get, it sounds much better with guitar and double bass.
    I plan on another Viola, more finished than this one. I have six fiddles ( 1 a 15yr old Roth I really like ) so I won't be building those.
    neck..........Maple
    top............Surrian Cedar
    back...........PNG Rosewood
    ribs............PNG Rosewood
    fb...............Solomon Blackwood
    nut/bridge...Bubinga
    tone bar......Oregon








    The music is accompaniment I made up for Lonnie Irvine's "Pinball Machines".

    Wrapped in the tools marks you've left in the carving. Such character!

    Thanks fellas,
    I now seperate my basses (commercial work ) from the acoustics. I want to have as much freedom with
    acoustics as the CBGers have.
    Cheers, Bill
