To clear something up. This is not an electric fiddle. It's an acoustic fiddle and was recorded through a mic. It just happens to be made from carbon fiber instead of wood. Technology at its best.

Rick, nice tune and great sounding fiddle. I'm impressed with the tone of that carbon fiber fiddle. Never expected it to be that good.

Fiddle players who also play pedal steel! I guess they are out there but don't run into 'em very often! Proud to say that I am also in that exalted category!

Very, very nice, and well played, Rick! You have mastered two of the most difficult to learn instruments. The Glasser violin sound great. Happy New Year to you and your family.

Absolutely out of this world!
I was loaned one of the Glaser Carbon Fiber Fiddles to try for a week. The one I tried however was the electric model. I found that it played great and sounded great but with the electronics it seemed a little heavy. The one you have in this video sounds incredible.

I haven't played the electric Glasser. I was tempted because I play electric when I'm working with country bands. However, the concensus is that the electric ones do not sound as good acoustically. Fiddlershop has a youtube video comparing them, and it seemed obvious to me. I fitted a Baggs bridge for the Glasser, for when I want to plug-in. It worked really well. I can see where all those electronics built into the chinrest could get heavy. I like it and its a fiddle that has exceeded my expectations. You know how fiddles are, and where the tone comes from. What I really like about this one is how the setup is so perfect and how it's so consistent.

Very nice Rick! I sent the link to our fiddle player, I wanted him to see what the Glasser sounded like. He plays a 5 string. You are as Paul said, a talented man!
