Q45 Reeeeeport! Test Fit of Panniers and Travel Fiddle Tube

[Tophat Fiddle]

Okay, so--I've got stuff to do through February and the first week of March, but after that, I should be free for the summer to take my Q45 and pedal around Oklahoma, heh! Two lower panniers and two upper-rear ones, and this is how I envision carrying the travel fiddle, which fits weather-protected in that tube there. As the weather warms, I'll test things out around here, and I might play with removing one of the rear panniers and installing a case to carry a fiddle-fiddle as opposed to a travel fiddle. Mmm-hmm.

Love the colour coordination! (British spelling )
By the way what kind of 'travel fiddle' do you have? I'm a bass player and would love to find a way to travel with my bass ...

It's made by an outfit called Magic Fluke (magicfluke.com), they make a variety of travel-type instruments, they call their travel fiddle the "Cricket." It comes with a 3/4 bow, bridge guard, and tube. It's playable acoustically and it's got a standard pickup integrated into the bridge. I've clunked it on and off of airplanes and trains and buses all over the world, and it always holds its tune and plays great.

Good call - their Timber Bass looks the part!
