The Instruments

Fiddleheads carries the most popular VN-100 model and the special commissioned VN-102 antiqued model.

VN-100	VN-102

These instruments provide fantastic value for the money and are highly reviewed by our customers. The tone is fantastic for this price range and warms with play. In fact, we are so happy with these violins that our own Fiddleheads Violin School students are encouraged to play the VN-100 once they have played for a few years and the VN-102 is used by our students in their Royal Conservatory 5th to 7th grade level.

The instruments are simply far superior to anything else in their respective price ranges.

These workshop-made instruments have slightly (VN-100) to moderately (VN-102) flamed scroll, neck and ribs. The two-piece back is well flamed (click on photos for closeups) and the instruments are finished with an oil varnish.
