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."
