    Hello
    I am from Denmark. Seems that not that many luthiers are interested in five-strings.
    I have been asking around and nobody seems to understand that it can be done.

    I have been refering to your site and hope that they will get some info on how to.

    I really what to get a five string but from where?
  1.  
    Berg, I am a luthier that makes 5-strings violins here in the US. I have clients in other countries, Ireland and the UK. www.barrydudleycom

    There are several other excellent violin makers here in the US, John Silakowski and Jonathan Cooper both make 5-strings that are outstanding! YOu can google their names and find websites for them.

    The fiddles you picture here look very nice, you made them?

    How much for a 5 srt.fiddle of yours, and could I try them even though I live in DK?

    Berg, It would be better if you contacted me through my web site. I don't really want to conduct business on Darol's forum.

    Sorry Michael

    Of course I know about your instruments, I even visited you a couple of years ago..
    Did not think of you when speaking of acoustic instruments.

    Are the 5 strings you have optimized for 5 strings (bigger body etc.)
