Abstract:
Steven Miller, a carpenter and crafter of musical instruments, makes fiddles--unusual, century old-fiddles. Cigar-box fiddles have been around for a long time. Miller takes them and transforms them into fiddles he calls Carolina Fiddles. It takes forty hours to make one by hand, and he charges $750 per fiddle. He hardly makes any money off the fiddles, but as he says, \"I just do it because I really like them. I enjoy making musical instruments.\"
