I hear it's fun to play it on the roof.

Stay away from Cecilio. Cheap tinny Chinese crap. Other than that don't have much advice.

i would recommend getting a violin, rather than a fiddle.

I got an inexpensive one from Bluegrass Shack. The owner set it up for me and it got to me in great shape and good to go. I have a much more expensive fiddle, but I always go back to the one I got from them for about $340.

As Yitzak Perlman reportedly told Charlie Daniels, "[they're] all fiddle players."

This is intriguing. Are they making them in house or supplying from Japan?

I really don't know. The one I received has no markings at all.
