When you buy one of Otis A. Tomas's fiddles you aren't only buying the
finest hand-selected and crafted timbers seasoned slowly to perfection
for the finest and sweetest tones. Neither are you just buying one of
the best hand-made fiddles in the world - you are also buying a piece
of love and attention that goes into the soul of every one of these amazing
angels of the fiddle-makers art.
Otis also makes a variety of other top-class musical instruments that
I am proud to display on other pages of this website.

William B Hendrick is a maker of hand-built traditional violins that
will quite literally make your hair stand on end with their tonal quality
and playability.
Here's what his website says "I study lutherie and bow making under
the supervision of Greg Townsend of Marin Violin. The additional challenge
of instrument building is that not only must the finished result have
the beauty of fine furniture or a piece of art but also hopefully it
will have a glorious sound."
