I really appreciate your practice of carrying a baseline of solid stock so that your customers don’t have to in-home instrument trial processtry a ton of instruments.

VN-909 from Fiddleheads

[Erin compared the 909 to the 907 on trial]

I shied away from the 909 initially as I felt a bit intimidated, but after reading the testimonials, I was intrigued! Everything I have read about the 909 has been positive and my experience playing it has been positive as well.

I am feeling more motivated to play, and more confident too. I really enjoyed the trial and mostly played the 909, which I really like – especially for how much better I sound in 3rd position!

My teacher was impressed with the craftsmanship and tone but thought I should try a few others before I move forward with purchase.

I extended the trial a couple more weeks but didn't think I needed another 909 to compare, though it was good to have the option. I decided to go ahead with the 909 and added fine tuners to it, using a video Rhiannon recorded just for me so I could learn to do it myself.

Photo: My dog Cedar likes to join in as I practice, so I figured it’s only fair to include him in the decision making process.
