Product Description by Fiddleheads' Owner and Teacher Rhiannon Schmitt

Got amplification?

Forget using a mic or clip-on pickup; this violin comes ready to plug in. Classic meets trendy with this affordable Romanian-crafted Acoustic/Electric (AE) violin outfit.

The "Vibrato AE" is a traditional-style, hollow body acoustic violin with a snazzy modern finish and well-known Barcus-Berry electronics.

Choose the basic "natural" wood finish or two vibrant colors.

Customer Testimonial

We received the [Barcus Berry Red Vibrato] violin yesterday and it is SPECTACULAR! Leanne and I were stunned at how exquisite it is. It exceeded all of our expectations and was certainly worth the short wait.

We will most certainly recommend and refer both you and your shop/services to the many people we encounter here in Toronto. I thank you profusely for all that you've done and I assure you it will not be forgotten. Warmest Regards,

- Laura, Toronto, ON
