That looks great. You can be proud. One thing I've learned is the more energy you put into the instrument itself, the less interested you become in playing, and vice versa.

Have you ever heard of Carleen Hutchins? She was one of the first female violin makers, and an intereting figure. I'd love to have one of her violins.

Thank you.

And thanks for the links.

I had lots of fun buildiing this violin, and I'm finishing re-building a cello. But, its not the same as playing. So for now at least, I plan on keeping the building and repair on a small scale, and not let it take time away from practice...
