Mo Menzel, President & CEO
When Mo arrived here from Texas to
manage Menzel Violins folks warned her at her Father's
funeral that the waters of the violin business were
filled with sharks. She was shocked to learn that
beneath the seemingly genteel surface of this world
lurked hidden teacher kickbacks, collusion, and fraud.
Mo resolved from the beginning to do ethical and
honest business.
Mo wondered if it wouldn't be possible
to find here the friendly sense of community she had
known in Texas. She began to think of reaching out to
all players of traditional music on bowed and fretted
instruments. Strains of bluegrass, celtic, oldtime and
jazz were calling to Mo! Here was a group that needed
good instruments at fair prices who were tired of
being made to feel small when they didn't have a small
fortune to spend.
Mo also wanted to reach out to
returning adult players and adult beginners who needed
a venue to play together. The gears were turning and
the idea for MoFiddles came to her in a dream! Now
it's a dream being realized. MoFiddles offers sales,
repair, restoration, lessons, workshops, free jam
sessions, good fellowship and good food. Find a new
haven and meet Mo and the boys! |
