This 4-string premium acoustic Modular Fiddle is built with tangerine orange metallic gold parts, a black acoustic body, Perfection Pegs, and Dominant strings. This offers a lighter instrument than the ukelele tuners, and Dominants pair well with the warm, rich tone of the instrument.
This fiddle makes a great beginner instrument, or a totally unique instrument for those times when you’re OK with your fiddle being about 2/3 the volume of a wooden violin.
I play my Modular Fiddle when I am practicing around my family — they feel like my wooden instrument is a bit loud when I have to play the same passages over and over… It’s also a great campfire fiddle — anytime you want something just a bit warmer and mellower than a wooden violin.

When set up with a pickup, this fiddle excels as an electric violin for more experienced players and professional violinists!
The more dampened tone of the composite (carbon fiber and PLA) body provides a rich and warm electric signal that amplifies beautifully.
To keep things simple, this listing is just for the premium acoustic fiddle shown in the pictures. If you would like an electric, you can purchase this one, and then leave a note with you desired add-ons. I’ll get in touch with you to request payment (usually via Paypal) and will swap out the body and bridge as needed to electrify the fiddle.
