Greetings all,
I bought this from Royce Burt in 2020.
It’s been well cared for and played in. Excellent condition. Highly figured Maple one piece back and sides.
Comes with a Wittner chin rest.
Here’s a link to the original YouTube video Royce posted. youtube.com/watch?v=EextvZ_maF8
This was the last Jones Creek fiddle he had. I believe this was made in Europe based on a French model. Mr Burt will explain Jones Creek and everything about those fiddles if you ask him. There is a good story behind these fiddles.
The action is medium to low so it’s easy to play. Like Mr Burt says, its a killer fiddle. Can cut through the mix.
It sounds great with Helicore medium tension strings. I have super flexible medium tension strings on it now. It sounds amazing in cajun tuning with these strings. So, if you’re looking for that cajun fiddle check it out. Otherwise, its tone in standard tuning is great for bluegrass and old time.
This is an awesome value. Excellent craftsmanship with Mr Burt's finishing touches.
Lets find this a good home.
I'll try to answer any questions.
Thanks
