WANT TO PLAY A FIDDLE LIKE THE ONE THAT NEIL GOW (one of the founding fathers of Scottish fiddling) played. THOMAS JEFFERSON often played a fiddle of this type as well (yup, the President was a fiddler as well).

You need look no further. We now make in our Atlanta, GA lutherie a pochette based on the one in the Burrell Museum in Glasgow, Scotland

Our Neil Gow Pochette is designed to be played baroque style (tucked in the arm pit, resting on the forearm); however, the instrument can be played under the chin in a "transitional style". Either a baroque bow or a modern bow is historically appropriate, as both types were being used in the late 1700s.

Want to hear and see it played baroque style Justin Bridges and transitional style by Darci Jones - of course you do!
