The Czech Violin is done. Code Name: Gypsy

The Czech violin is finally done. The inlaid rose wood fitting really look nice. Here are some pics:

Brian Duckworth did an incredible job putting this together at a fair price. His shop is fun to go to and he is as friendly as can be. I always have a great time when I got there. I'd recommend Duckworth Violinshop in New Braunfels, TX to anyone.

The violin plays well, I was concerned about the inlaid finger board and sounds better than ever.

I wonder if anyone else has tried inlaid fittings?

I can see it helping shifting and vibrato--on a fine but neat level. Maybe I'm just thinking it would loosen up my first joints better--maybe even because it's just nice to look at?

Stunning, Jason. Beautiful job. Though a violin is a treat to look at of itself.

What a beautiful violin! Does it cost a lot to install such fittings?

Expenseive is a relative term, but it would definately be worth calling Bryan and seeing what he can do for you. He's always been fair with me. I've never had a complaint on pricing or service.
