Indigo Stringworks

I traded a mandolin for this violin and one other.  I was quite surprised at how open and strong this violin was.

​

In restoring it, I added a new neck, as well as a fingerboard, because the original was dyed maple wood.  The peg holes were reamed to fit the violin pegs that came with it.  Great fit!

​

This a is a great violin with lots of pizazz and presence.  A local well-known fiddle player from Yackandandah really liked this violin when he played it before I did a more to complete the final setup.  So it should sound even better.

​

I have added a new 'two trees' Despeau bridge and ebony nut.  The strings on it are Thomastic Dominants.

​

I really like the open grained top and the sunburst yellow and brown colour on the back.  Quite unique really!
