How very American! It made me wonder what kind of violin the Dutch National Anthem would be played on -- made from a wooden shoe, perhaps?

That violinist is a man of many talents.

Bram posted a photo of a Wooden Shoe Violin on his blog some years ago.

Ah!  And us canadians would have to make one in a maple leaf shape!!!   He is lucky to have just the right neck lenght for it!

I don't know about making a violin out of a baseball bat, but (in the right hands) a violin could make an excellent baseball bat. (Three flats and you're "out.")
