The third cigar box fiddle.. I like the sound of this one better than n°1 and n°2. The box is bigger, I payed more attention to the inner bracing and the position of the sound post. It has a remarkable sustain, but I have no idea whether this is good or bad for violins. I like it.

I have made a neck-template in .pdf, if you would like to have it, I would e-mail it to you. That violin thing is new to me and I would be pleased to share experience

Comment by Dave Lynas on May 13, 2012 at 8:42pm Just listened to your sound sample. Very nice. Also some of your other videos. The Reso bass is outstanding. So are your slim humbuckers. I'll have to look up your site and check those out better. Thanks... Dave
