BIG savings on our best and most popular instruments and NO VIDEO

I know just as sure as I am sitting here typing this that if I were posting a new video of the Red Hots (our favorite band, bar none!), our page "hits" for... today would soar by at least 10-fold. I also know that this would have little effect on visits or sales at the Adventurous Muse Online Store. So, here's what it is in plain terms...I am going to post information about price reductions on our high-end instruments and our most popular instruments, such as our Cigar Box Fiddle (10,000 viewings on YouTube) and our new Whiskey Bottle Box Fiddle (another 10,000 views, plus 100 people who said that they would buy one the minute it is available)...well, the Whiskey Bottle Box Fiddle is available and now is the time to buy them, my friends!

Until we get the desired number of visits and purchases from the Adventurous Muse Online Store (at least 500 visits and 10 purchases this weekend), we are NOT going to post any more videos. So, enjoy your shopping while we enjoy those videos :-)

Price-Adjusted Instruments Instruments for which we have reduced prices...in some cases dramatically
	Adventurer IIb Travel Violin Price reduced to only $1,035 in order to achieve price parity with our other store at Amazon.com. This is the instrument that many of our customers have been waiting for. Over $100,000 of design research, consumer research and technical R&D went into the new Adventurer IIb Travel Violin. There are various options available, such as clamp-on shoulder rest adapter. Price: $1,150.00 $1,035.00
	C. Benker 4/4 Violin, Dark Brown Price reduced to only $557 in order to achieve price parity with our other store at Amazon.com. Wonderful dark brown Christian Benker Violin manufactured by Hofner (yes, the makers of Paul McCartney's famous left-handed "violin" bass). Made in Germany. Extraordinary, whether used as a violin or a fiddle, and you can't beat the price for the German-made instrument. Price: $557.00
	Joseph Guarnerius del Gesu 1724 Model Violin by E.H. Roth This violin is a faithful reproduction of one of Guarneri’s finest works. The most illustrious member of this famous family of violin makers was Bartolomeo Giuseppe Guarneri (Cremona, Italy, 1698-1744), better known as Joseph Guarnerius del Gesu. Price: $4,425.00
	Maggini Violin Baritone/Octave Model by Don Rickert Design You can own a baritone (octave lower) version one of the coolest instruments on the planet for about $3,000 (actually, much less, with our discount).

	Maggini Violin by Don Rickert Musical Instruments How can you acquire the coolest instrument on the planet for under $3,000? Price: $1,999.00
	Neil Gow Pochette (aka Dancing Master's Kit, Travel fiddle) WANT TO PLAY A FIDDLE LIKE THE ONE THAT NEIL GOW (one of the founding fathers of Scottish fiddling) played. THOMAS JEFFERSON often played a fiddle of this type as well (yup, the President was a fiddler as well). You need look no further. We now make in our Atlanta, GA lutherie a pochette based on the one in the Burrell Museum in Glasgow, Scotland... Price: $1,100.00
	Professional Performance Fiddle by D, Rickert Design The new Rickert Professional Performance Fiddles are set up to be powerful and loud...bassy on the G and D and brighter on the A and E. Unless you specify otherwise, they are set up as contest-winning fiddles with low action at both the nut and bridge. These are German-made (Meisel or Christian Benker) violins that we have been holding for several years that are converted to the seriously "tricked out" fiddle that Dr. Don Rickert generally uses when he performs or jams. Price: $1,050.00 $945.00
	Reenactor Authentic 1860s Style Cigar Box Fiddle NEW lower price! Our antique reproduction cigar box fiddles are extremely loud and powerful.

	Stradivarius model 1718 Violin by E.H. Roth Marvelous replica of extraordinary 1718 model by Antonio Stradivari (A.K.A. Stradivarius), made in Germany by the famous maker, Ernst Heinrich Roth. Price: $3,625.00
	Violin, Georges Michel Model, by Aubert Lutherie The Georges Michel Model violin features exquisite select aged tone woods from Aubert’s own forests, flamed maple and select spruce, supple light brown varnish with a stunning transparency, rosewood fittings. The Aubert Lutherie Georges Michel violin is renowned for its full-bodied and robust yet warm, well-balanced sonority, responsiveness to even the most subtle bowing dynamics. All of that and the Georges Michel is unusually easy to play, boot. Price: $4,400.00
	Whiskey Box Pocket Fiddle by Don Rickert Design About a year and a half ago, Dr. Rickert, did a design study of just how simple one could make a pocket fiddle, also known as a pochette and still get a decent sound with good playability. The outcome was a prototype of a pochette-sized instrument made from half of a whiskey or wine bottle box. Think of it as a really skinny cigar box fiddle. The body is made of basswood (linden) and the top is good spruce tone wood. It played and sounded amazingly good. We had no idea whether there was an historical basis for whiskey bottle box fiddles...still don't Anyway, we made a video of Darci Jones playing a tune called "The Bright Hollow Fog" and it has gotten about 10,000 viewings on YouTube, and more positive commentary than any other instrument we make. We have not made a production version of the Whisky Bottle Box Pochette until now. Price: $295.00 $265.50
