Just bought a fiddle at at the local flea market. The seller says it's from Idaho, stamped inside with the name HENRY OLSON Feb.9,1935.
Utah Phillips tells me he remembers the name being mentioned at Weiser, as in, "Here's a Henry Olson tune." Can anyone help with more info on this gentleman? I took it to Dave Gusset, a local luthier(he made Alisdair Fraser's violin)to be fixed. Any info will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
