Casey Driessen fiddle hunt, part 2

A lot of folks enjoyed Casey Driessen’s 5-string fiddle hunt video, where he and Luke Bulla traveled to Scottsburg, IN to the shop of John Silakowski. John built Casey’s existing fiddle, and the trip was made so that he could select a new one.

The first video featured Casey trying out instruments, trying to make his choice. In this second part, we see the winner (America’s Next Top Fiddle!), and enjoy a brief interview with Silakowski.
