I love stringed instruments and I have a pochette or pocket fiddle that was developed in 18th century Europe by teachers traveling from town-to-town for dances or for teaching. I found the one I have in a thrift shop many years ago. I had a luthier repair it and it is quite lovely.
Thomas Jefferson is said to have owned at least two pochettes.
The great luthier Antonio Stradivari is said to have made a few pochetts in his day and two are known to have survived to modern times. I doubt very much if mine is one of them. If that were so, I would be writing this from my villa in the French Rivera instead of from North Carolina. (smile)
