Doc White Fiddle for sale

Hi friends – perhaps we have met. I was a Kansas boy, relocated to Maine several years ago. I attended the Wednesday night gathering a time or two probably 8 years ago.

I was befriended to Doc (Lee) White around that time, and purchased a wonderful violin from him, I believe he noted it to be #48. His label inside indicates it was made in September of 1998, but no number 48 that I can see. It is of medium brown color, with beautiful maple sides and back. Very nice top. Still has Doc’s own bridge cut and an amazing tone. Still in pristine condition.

I would like to now sell this instrument as I’m preparing to retire and need to trim down my possessions. I wanted to let the Wednesday night group know first, in case anyone there familiar with Doc and his work would like a chance at it first. I get up to your area, so could bring it up very soon.

I would like to have $700 (USD) for it, and would love to see it go to someone in the area where Doc has lived. I have it in a very nice hardshell rectangular case.

Would you be so kind as to let Garold know about this (in case this does not reach you Garold) and the Wednesday night group, and anyone else you could help me spread the work too? I will need to move to make other contacts soon if I do have any interest in the Perth-Andover area fairly soon. I am coming up your way the weekend of June 22nd, and back July 4th as well.

Thank you for your help, and I hope the fiddling grows ever-stronger.
