The importance of having a Father, not just a dad.

What does that mean

E. J. Reed is one of my favorite American violin makers. He made everything the way you described your grandfather doing.

I wish I could give you a hug! My dad passed too and I know what talking about it feels like.

I wish I could visit your shop and view how you make a violin or repair one.

1:36 at that price looks like he cannot sell the stock ... I really don't get the pricing when there is no shortage of instruments of high quality. They must be getting traded like art pieces... The strings you use make the most difference for most of these instruments above 5-8k price ...

If one looks at the shorts, I'm a hand-blown glass artist.

It appears Karolina Protsenko will be purchasing one of your father Carl's 1930's era violins. She is a very young violinist with a big following.

What is the 'value' of an instrument? only an artist would know that, for it is an extension of their expression. The fine violin is a voice of quality created by the hands and mind of a master luthier and is sung by the artist musician.

If there was a old Maple that was in shade all year round for 500years stunted. Would that make good wood for a violin? Having really tight compacted rings. Perhaps denser. Someone should try it out. Cut a stunted maple on the North side of a mountain. Or would a tree that got sunlight the whole year be better?

For the life of me I simply can't see $36 K + in that toffee coloured fiddle . I can see quite a few dollars in cheesburgers ,French fries and dodgy acting with a film maker milking the scene . Lets get real here and someone needs to stop all the hype and grossly inflated prices . I've bought violins in estate auctions for less than a grand ,which when set up correctly play more than well . How can a fiddle which takes ten days to make sell for that crazy money ?
