Casey Driessen: 5-string fiddle hunt

Event Details

Here’s something any musician can identify with… the hunt for a new axe.

Casey Driessen takes us along as he and Luke Bulla journey to Scottsburg, IN and the shop of noted violinmaker John Silakowski to check out some new 5-string fiddles.

Watch and listen as he tries to narrow it down – which one will he choose?

Find out which one he takes home in part 2, coming soon.
