Jonathon Cooper 5-string
A 5-string fiddle is to a champion fiddler like the entire Boston Pops Orchestra is to Arthur Fielder.

Grand National Fiddle Champion Kimber Ludiker has her eye on just such a fiddle and has come up with a clever way to obtain it.

Kimber writes:
"Friends! Family! Help me own this BEAUTIFUL fiddle. Check out my "Kickstarter" project with fun incentives like music, lessons, concerts, etc."
The fiddle in question is a Jonathan Cooper 5-String and Kimber's website has all the details including an extensive list of incentives available for those who choose to help her.  For answers to any questions, Kimber invites you to contact her directly at kimberludiker@gmail.com
