 June 13, 2005 at 2:18 PMMaking your own electric violinI've always been interested in making my own electric violin. A sculptor friend of mine, Lirio Salvador, made me a great custom job. Still, I'd like to try making one on my own. After all, there's nothing like hankering down and doing something in true do-it-yourself spirit. There's a lot of interesting stuff out there about electric violins, not just how to make them but also their history. When I have time, I think I'll update this post with more links. Meanwhile, my searches led me to this neat personal site. Looks worth a try. Also, here's a website on making your own electric guitar. Some of the techniques can be adapted towards making a solid-body electric violin. (It has a mirror site). Here's a very minimalist design that I really like. Serendipity strikes again. I found another personal webpage, albeit unfinished, that talks at length about electric violin theory and construction. Interesting sites on a traveler's saxophone made from plastic overlaid with wood veneer, and bamboo saxophones. And then there's the xaphoon.
