These are the unique fiddle designs and types that, from our extensive experience working with Old-Time fiddlers and their prized instruments, we have judged to be the favorites of fiddlers throughout the Southern Appalachians from at least the mid-19^th Century until well into the 20^th Century. With the current revival of Old-Time fiddling and its older Minstrel Period roots, these fiddles are once again enjoying a high degree of popularity.
