check_circleVerifiedDan is a fantastic musician. His feel and instinct for the song are evident in every song I send him. He does a great job at finding just the right moments in a song to add his touch, and he's also super great about working with me to make sure I've got what I need. 10/10 recommend for your fiddle/violin needs!
