Please forgive me if I have posted this before, I cannot find a record. I started making (traditional) violins in the 1990s, after about 2 or 3 dozen I got bored, being a designer (industrial) for 50 years, I decided to do my own thing (with so many violin makers around, who was going to buy mine anyway?). The designed and made the first fiolin 3 years ago (the red one in the video). The blue one is the newest, made with a korina belly as an experiment (it has been successful with acoustic guitars).
