The Violin Shop / The Fiddle Mercantile
The Fiddle Mercantile (San Francisco, CA) and The Violin Shop (Nashville, TN) are excited to be part of the Sierra Fiddle Camp again this year! They will bring a selection of accessories (strings, rosin, shoulder rests, cases, etc.) and a diverse assortment of instruments and bows, all available for trial and purchase.
Brandon Godman and Fred Carpenter, as well as cello luthier Rachel Soroka (who will be with them the first few days of camp), will be offering luthier services onsite for instruments and bows:
- Urgent instrument repair (minor gluing, fingerboard plane, top nut, pegs, soundposts, endpins, bridges, cleaning, polishing, etc.)
- Bow rehairs for violin, viola, and cello
- Sales consultations
- Setup/tonal adjustments
All accessories and labor costs will be offered at a 15% discount off in-shop prices for the week of the camp!
If you would like to get your name on the list for a bow rehair or instrument repair, please contact Brandon Godman with details at brandon@theviolinshop.com. Please include “Sierra Fiddle Camp Repair Request” in the email subject.
