Televet Posted November 16, 2015 Report Share Posted November 16, 2015 Longish time lurker on account of having nothing to add and a lot to learn, but saw this... https://www.liveauctioneers.com/item/42441505_antique-violin-an-interesting-violin-with-an-elongated and wondered what it is and what it sounds like? Tried Dr Google and found a single example for $750, said to be played Cello style on lap like a Gamba. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blank face Posted November 16, 2015 Report Share Posted November 16, 2015 Some french and german factories and workshops around 1900 made this type inspired by japanese or chinese (Urr) one or two stringed fiddles and named in the catalogues alike. Don't know how it may sound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Televet Posted November 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2015 So...I showed the single string Violin listing to my daughter who thought it was a hoot and sent it to a schoolfriend who scored his first auction success for 75 UK pounds. When it gets to Canada and he gets it set up, Maestro net will be first to receive the You Tube link. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
