Join Randal Eller at the Lindamood School to see how he makes fiddles the old fashioned way... by hand.

Randal Eller has always been a talented carpenter. In 1980 he met the famed Albert Hash, an accomplished instrument maker from Southwest Virginia. Mr. Hash recognized Mr. Eller's talents in carpentry and invited him into his home to learn instrument making.

A quarter of a century later Mr. Eller continues to make fiddles and mandolins in the Hash tradition at his home-workshop in Chilhowie, Virginia. He is teaching his two sons to make instruments so that they can continue the tradition of crafting high quality hand made mandolins and fiddles.
