<h2>The Modular Fiddle is a cutting-edge platform for 3D printed violins.</h2> It's also an outstanding acoustic violin. ******<h3>5-String and Hardanger fiddle variations are now available!</h3> These versions use the same body as the 4-string but different pegbox, neck, bridge, and tailpiece parts. You can purchase the design files directly from my website at https://openfabpdx.com/shop. ****** Hear the Modular Fiddle, Hovalin, and my wood violin merged together in one song on YouTube at https://youtu.be/0sXDPzzKffs. ****** Here's a detailed comparison of the Modular Fiddle on YouTube at https://youtu.be/8wK9HUCHBeo. ****** Once you build a Modular Fiddle, you can replace any part in just ten minutes.
