Rue Posted May 15, 2020 Report Share Posted May 15, 2020 Maybe it's Irish? They used it to swat at annoying Leprechauns when they got too drunk in the pub? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I think it could be a viollelagh. The Irish also carried a pocket version called a ukellelagh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MANFIO Posted May 18, 2020 Report Share Posted May 18, 2020 I call these works as "naive" violins. Imagine you living in a poor, isolated place 100 years ago or more. Violins were expensive, so some guy with wood working skills decide to make a violin. There were no Strad plans.... the guy draws an scroll by eye... this is the result.
