   About The Violin Shop
Hey folks, Fred Carpenter here. Welcome to "The Violin Shop Official Myspace" - home of “Fine Fiddles and Fine Music”. I hope everyone is well and thanks for stopping by.

Now in our 20th year, The Violin Shop is Nashville’s premier violin facility. If you’re looking for an instrument, we offer one of the finest collections of violins and bows anywhere. We invite you to stop by to see and hear for yourself or view our instruments online at www.theviolinshop.com. As fiddlers ourselves, we know that the “sound” is ultimately the most important thing to the player. That is why sound is such a vital part of our selection process, as well as who made the instrument, and of course its condition. We offer the best in violin restoration, repairs, and bow rehairing. Whether you are fiddle shopping or just visiting, we hope to see you soon.

On the music side of things...
The Violin Shop is in post production on the Fiddle Masters Volume III DVD - soon to be released later on this year.
The highlights of each season are released on high quality DVDs, recorded live in our intimate 50 seat concert room. Previews of The Violin Shop "Concert Series" are viewable at www.theviolinshop.com.

Hello Fred,

I'm going to need some work on my fiddle soon. When I'm playing along, sometimes my open E string squeaks. I think it has something to do with the way the nut is positioned, but you're the expert. I'll contact you soon, I just get distracted and hate to have my fiddle gone from my presence, but I know you always work fast, and I can wait that long if it's even repairable.

All the best for a happy St Patrick's Day.

Mister Fred, I understand you are instrumental in having my instructor move to Nashville. Humph!

We still had more work to do!:(

I don't know what I'll figure out, but I will.
