This 4-string acoustic Modular Fiddle is built with a Progress Pride colors! The Progress Pride flag is designed by fellow Portlander Daniel Quasar. Learn more about the flag here.
This is a totally unique fiddle, unlike even my other 3D printed builds. Available at a lower cost during Pride month!
This instrument is not high-temperature resistant. Don’t play in the sun or leave in your car! That limitation aside, it would make a great beginner instrument. The tone is not as good as my carbon fiber PLA instruments (with black or grey bodies) but let’s be real, you aren’t buying this for the sound.
Basic Fiddle Specs:
- 3D printed acoustic Body made from PLA plastic
- Geared ukulele machine tuners
- 3D printed tailpiece with no fine tuners (not needed with geared machines)
- 3D printed chinrest
- Ascente strings
- All parts are replaceable, upgradeable, repairable, and modular
Does not include case or other accessories. Shipping is $50 to the domestic US. International shipping is available, but you must contact me to order.
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 plastic body provides a rich and warm electric signal that amplifies beautifully.
To keep things simple, this listing is just for the 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.
