New arrival this week. Pretty little fiddle box by TJ Johnson. Blue Mahoe and walnut. TJ built this to be his personal call this year. I've been wanting one of his fiddles for a while and I feel fortunate to get this one. And it's a runner for sure. I'll try it out this weekend on a stubborn old bird I've been talking to.

Very. It's my understanding that Marlin taught him. Someone correct me if I'm wrong. I've seen some that were signed by both Marlin and TJ.
There are slight differences in design that are noticeable. But very similar.
Both Marlin and TJ build a darn good box.

He builds some good boxes. I'm using one of his walnut over poplar fiddle box this year.

Look him up on Facebook. I looked him up today, we messaged back and forth; and I got on his list. Seems like a really good dude and very customer oriented.
Yes, TJ is Marlins Protege ! And by the looks and sounds of his boxes a very good one to carry on the legacy . They have shared a booth at nationals last 2 yrs . Glad to get to see them every year . Good people and great callmakers .
