Bumped into the local violinmaker outside my house today, and he told me that apparently for the last seven years I've been living on a civil war battlefield? Anyway, I assume that I'm in the beginning of a ghost story.

Well made traditional violins have reached their absolute pinnacle of sound.

These contemporary designs though, bring originality and distinctive ARTistry—without compromise.

Something a little different for any of my woodworking followers, in these crazy times! I never knew that over time even a Violin can use a tune up. The difference is quite noticeable as you can tell from the owners face! Here is how Olaf did it! Enjoy! ☺️

My big brother, Jonathan Cooper, died yesterday. His hospitalization last week came as a shock to us all, and we're devastated. More to say in the coming days about the violinmaker, fiddler, father, guitarist, surfer, entrepreneur, and performer on day one at CBGB's.

33. My viola

My parents found it set on the curb as trash, took it to a violinmaker to repair. I could hardly believe it when I opened it on Xmas... age 12, I'd just gotten more serious about learning.

100+ years old and you can hear it! It's an imitation Juzek. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Ju...

i love how •everything• is a brand today. kids growing up now might never know that Tesla refers to Nikola Tesla. now, google "Stradivirius" and you will get some clothing sales, not the history of the world's most famous violinmaker, whose 350-year-old violin is still the world's most valuable.

My father was a violinmaker and skilled repairman (among other things): the DAMAGES he would see when someone was forced to ship a cello as baggage!

I don't know whether they offered to gate-check his cello but if they did, he was absolutely right to refuse.

sound physics are so bizarre

its literally just a thin little wooden pole that doesn’t look like its doing much but somehow that dramatically changes the sound
