Hey folks, Fred Carpenter here. Welcome to "The Violin Shop Official Myspace" - home of “Fine Fiddles and Fine Musicâ€. I hope everyone is well and thanks for stopping by.
Now in our 20th year, The Violin Shop is Nashville's premier violin facility. If you're looking for an instrument, we offer one of the finest collections of violins and bows anywhere. We invite you to stop by to see and hear for yourself or view our instruments online at www.theviolinshop.com.
As fiddlers ourselves, we know that the “sound†is ultimately the most important thing to the player. That is why sound is such a vital part of our selection process, as well as who made the instrument, and of course its condition. We offer the best in violin restoration, repairs, and bow rehairing. Whether you are fiddle shopping or just visiting, we hope to see you soon.
On the music side of things...
After more than 20 shows over the past three years at The Violin Shop's concert room, Fred is finally going to play one himself along with accomplished guitarist Tim May! www.timmaymusic.net
Since being invited to perform at the Strings Magazine Dinner on March 20th, Fred and Tim have been working on a duo which incorporates several genres of music and represents their diverse musical backgrounds. In their debut performance, this duo will perform their showcase right here at The Violin Shop. Guest performers TBA as well. We hope to see you here!
All proceeds from this concert will go to the 2009 Fiddle Camp Scholarship Fund, allowing a deserving young fiddler to attend a fiddle camp of his or her choice. You can order your tickets at: www.theviolinshop.com
