Are you a cellist flying in from out of state, or a fiddler wanting to borrow a cello and try some cello workshops at Fiddle Hell? Or you might be a mandolin or guitar player with some fiddle experience, but you don't have a fiddle available to bring to Fiddle Hell? Our long-time friends at Johnson String Instrument in Newton Upper Falls, MA, have kindly offered to provide a limited number of loaner instruments onsite at Fiddle Hell in November to help you out.
Please contact Justin Davis at Johnson String Instrument (800-359-9351 x103 or This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.) by October 30th, 2019, to request a loaner cello or fiddle (including bow and case). There's no charge but advance registration is required. The loaner instruments will be available at the Johnson String Instrument tables in the Registration Room at Fiddle Hell. Simply pick up your instrument after you have completed your registration and you are free to use the instrument all weekend.
Johnson String will likely be at Fiddle Hell on Thursday Nov 7th from 11am-6pm, Friday Nov 8th from 11am-6pm, Saturday Nov 9th from 8:30am-6pm, and Sunday Nov 10th from 8:30am-4pm. Just keep Johnson String Instrument and their sales and restoration affiliate Carriage House Violins in mind when you are looking to rent or buy your next string instrument.
