My Apitius J model fits the bill perfectly. plus his workmanship is top notch...
One of the biggest benefits for me is being forced to learn the fretboard/neck for a long time if someone asked where a note was on the neck I couldn't tell them
like I said the world opens up...
Well after several years of nothing but Tab I finally bought a fiddle and had
no choice but to start to learn to read music. Since taking my fiddle lesson and starting

HI Cobow18
I have a J Model by Oliver, you will not be sorry waiting for his waitlist. It might seem long but if you dont think
about the wait it is just a song away. I just had an email convo with...

What A GRANDPA good for you. As a grandpa and a lefty I will give you
some advice about teach a lefty as a righty. Set her down directly across

I just spent the last 5-6 hrs getting familiar with 'lucy for short" and I must say the I am blown away with the neck profile. My fingers just fell in place and never seemed to get in the way of each...
