Bob Kogut's fiddles are known for having a sweet, rich voice, without harsh, strident overtones. They are handmade and can be customized to a fiddler’s preferences. Each violin is unique and is given its own name and date of completion. The name may reflect a characteristic of the violin or be symbolic of a milestone in the maker’s own life. One of the fiddles I built has actually found a home outside New Orleans in the hands of a well-known Cajun music player.
