Here are some great websites to check out:
Seman Violins
This fantastic violin/music shop is where most members of Chicago's Irish music community, as well as Chicago Symphony players and fiddlers of all descriptions, bring their violins and bows to be worked on. And buy their fiddles, bows, pickups and everything else! This is the shop where we suggest our students rent their fiddles from.
