Hi Maria,

Good luck with the fiddle. I don't know the Glasgow shops well (I live in Perthshire) but Vintage Strings in Dundee have a good selection of second hand fiddles and may be able to help. They may be worth a ring.

You may also benefit from joining in local music session and there are a few around in Glasgow, Edinburgh and elsewhere in Central Scotland. A bit far for you perhaps but the Blackford Fiddle Group are absolutely excellent at teaching beginners at all ages and are a nice bunch of people to boot. PM me for details of some sessions but I'm sure that there are some local Glasgow 'Catters who can advise you on what's on locally.

All the best,

Zen
