Such a treat to help these three! A couple and their friend drove all night from Pennsylvania and explored Chicago before coming into our shop to pick up their instruments in person. Enjoy your musical journey together!

Look forward to seeing them again in a couple years and hearing stories along the way 🎻🎶🚙

Happy to help YOU too, whether we ship your instrument or you decide to make the trip like these three!

No, you’re not seeing things…the E is on the left side. We have 10 Left Handed Crescendos! Truly carved and setup that way from the beginning, with sound post and bass bar in the proper positions.

Please let any lefty friends know who have been frustrated by the traditional setup no matter how hard they’ve tried - or reserve your own!
