A very entertaining video... until you just said the word "SHAR".

I will never ever buy another string from SHAR! I received an used string (very expensive string I must add). They even question my complaint!

I am out of here!

@MisterReloj sorry to hear about your negative experience at Shar. Like any large company, you are bound to, at some point, run into a customer service rep that lets you down. I know the owner, and I can tell you that he runs a tight ship and would be very sad to hear about your experience. If you like, you could send me an email and I will forward it to him personally. He's a great guy, Shar is a great company, and I think they won't let you down again if you give them another chance.

Hey Adam,

I first heard about the Rockin' Fiddle Challenge in the Winter Shar catalog, and it sounds like a LOT of fun. But the one thing that really stood out to me, is that you haven't mentioned a deadline at all for this contest. Assuming it's open now to whoever is interested, how often will you be posting the video instruction? As participants are following along with the YouTube videos, when will we be able to put them all together and hopefully play the finished piece?
