Fiddleheads owner, Rhiannon Schmitt, plays viola and knows it's far more than a "big violin." Her experience as a string quartet and orchestral violist has taught her what makes this instrument so incredibly special to hold and play.

Rhiannon is confident she will match you to the ideal instrument whether you are an experienced violist or a violinist seeking to experience the enticing growl of the C-string!
