"I'm always impressed by Brandon's encyclopedic knowledge of fiddles and bows, his expanding collection and his skills and style in fiddle repair and setup. Brandon is really good at bringing out the best in a fiddle's tone and customizing the setup for the individual player. Furthermore, he is an amazing fiddler and downright kind and honest person."

“At the Fiddle Tunes Festival in Port Townsend, WA, Brandon teamed with bow maker Jacob Mitas and luthier Jaime Herrmann to extraordinarily expand the participant experience by providing counsel, instrument tune-ups, and emergency repairs. Their presence and demeanor enriched every musician present, due to their professionalism and the respect with which they treated each player. I don’t say this lightly. As a musician and teacher, Brandon is superb. I’ve spent 35 years watching people trying to impart musical information, and Brandon is in my top 2% of effective educators.”
