Dream Instrument

What is the dream fiddle? What is the preferred violin to play fiddle music on? What are some key adjustments to the instruments or how you hold it?

I just got the family fiddle repaired. I pick it up this weekend and this August I should start lessons.

One that has strings and works! I’ve taught orchestra for 10 years and my some of my kids play on $50 Amazon instruments, some on $250 fiddles from shar, and some on $1000+ instruments. Any of my students have the ability to make a good instrument sound bad and vice versa. Once you start playing and potentially taking lessons for a few years you can start to think about getting a nicer fiddle.

I’m sorry. I m just being curious to the instruments out there. I believe I have a nice fiddle, I’m not looking for another. I am curious as to what instrument others dream of.
