Hi! My name is Doug. I'm a self-taught luthier with over 30 years of experience specializing in vintage fiddles, particularly those over 100 years old. I have extensive experience in violin repair and restoration, ensuring that each instrument is brought back to its former glory. Additionally, I focus on the conversion of right-handed fiddles to left-handed fiddles. If you're looking for a violin for sale or need expert advice on violins for sale, I'm here to help!
FiddleDee's is the expression of my passion for music. From the old folk and gospel tunes to reminiscing about sitting on the porch of a dog trot cabin at the age of 10 while playing the banjo and guitar, I have now transitioned into collecting and restoring vintage fiddles.
I began my journey with musical instruments early on. By the age of 7, I was already playing the piano, and soon after, I picked up the guitar, banjo, and harmonica. My first encounter with a fiddle happened when I discovered it in the loft of a hay barn, tucked away in an alligator hide case. The barn's owner generously gifted it to me. It was likely crafted in the 1920s, and the label inside the f hole read 'copy of Stradivarius, made in Czechoslovakia.' From that moment, I was captivated by the beauty of the wood and the enchanting sound of vintage fiddles. Today, I proudly own over 120 vintage fiddles, all of which I have lovingly restored to their original beauty. If you're looking for a violin for sale or need violin repair or restoration, my collection showcases the charm and craftsmanship of these exquisite instruments. You can find various violins for sale that reflect the rich history and artistry I've come to appreciate.
