🚨ATTENTION VIOLISTS🚨

We have a beautiful viola for sale in the shop on consigment. It is a 16" viola made by Franz Sandner in Nauheim, West Germany, in the early 1980s. This instrument how powerful, focused tone with great projection. Stop by the shop to try it out or send a message for more details and pricing.

Happy Friday! 🎻🎶

There's something very soothing about cutting bridges. Here's a couple from this past week, a 3/4 cello bridge and a viola bridge.

The bridge is a crucial part of violin family instruments. Without a well cut and properly fit bridge your instrument cannot reach its full potential. If you need a new bridge, stop by the shop, we are here to help!

By the way, this viola from West Germany might be coming up for sale soon. Send a message for more details!

Now that was a project! Matt brought this 1953 Kay C-1 into the shop in need of a neck set, a new nut, new bridge, new tailpiece, new strings, a little fingerboard dressing, and some open seams glued up. This bass spent at least a few years in unplayable condition in a local antique store, and we're happy to see it come back to life and start making music again. Not to mention this was the first repair job to come into Fisher Violins! Matt tells us he is very happy with how it sounds/plays, and it will be on its first gig this weekend!

Took a field trip to in Baltimore yesterday to pick out some flamed maple backs, sides, and neck blocks for the next couple violins. I'm lucky to have those guys so close to home. It was a lot of fun picking through their selection of wood, and they are always very welcoming and accommodating. Can't wait to see this one-piece back come to life!

Can you tell I'm happy to have completed my latest violin? I'm really excited about how this one turned out!

This violin is already sold but we are going to hang on to it for a little while so it is available for trial. We are now taking orders for new handmade violins. Stop by the shop to try it out this month!

More pictures and sound samples coming soon!
