This was filmed in that part of Ireland where "closed captioning" in the future, won't help you understand his English at all.

Does anyone know where he learned fiddle making? I am a maker from Tipp myself and would love to know more about the more rural irish makers!
I'd like to second this, and I'd also like to get my hand on a fiddle of his to see what they sound like. Anyone got any tips?
