I thought I would add these photos of a violin I built, as I've just seen mention of CB violins. Must have built it about 25 years ago.

Its a solid body so of course its electric, the pickup is under the bridge feet. needs a preamp with an EQ to get a warm sound but very playable [for a short time] it would be better with a serious chin and shoulder rest. Just a fun build really to use up the Osage Orange timber I had laying about.

Thanks for looking.

Very nice repair set up Taff. I've done some repair work but I'm learning as I go along and sometimes break more stuff than I fix!

Thanks Jim. Sorry I don't play violin well at all, just enough to test any repair and set ups I do,so cant post a video even if I new how. I like your presentation though and the Violin. The picture shows my main violin involvement. Come to think of it I remember over 30 years ago helping a lady to build a one string violin out of a powdered milk tin.

Wow! That's beautiful Taff. I lean more towards acoustic fiddles but this is certainly one to be proud of! Can we hear a bit of it? Here's a 5 stringer I recently completed.
