I play violin, where could I buy one like this?

[ThexENIGMATISTx]

@TurtlesAreTasty its custom i do believe.... steampunk is all about DIY i reccomend you try your hand at crafting... otherwise it wouldn't really be your own.

so it looks like there may be a piezo pickup that picks up the sound of the violin but instead of going to an amp it makes it so the lights turn on? that is pretty sweet

[PhoenixBlackthorn]

Just a side note as I see a lot of people doing this, but Molly doesn't really like people calling her "Porkshanks" despite the fact that she chose to use it as her Deviant Art ID. ;) Just saying.

[Dan4Dresden]

@PhoenixBlackthorn That's unfortunate.

[PhoenixBlackthorn]

@Dan4Dresden Yeah, pretty much. She told me why she originally chose it, but I forget. =_=

[whowantsabighug]

Oh i had no idea it only lit up when played! That's so cool!

[MistressElizaBathory]

this is a five string, yes? So it has viola range as well??? *le swoon if true*

[DrSparrowShrike]

i love tht violin . i think it wud have been pritty sick also. but not necessarily better if he assigned each light to a certain string and glowed at different degrees of brightness depending on the volume. but amazing either way

[lukevash]

i love how he used usb lavalamps for the lights

[DrDolansKinetoscope]

I want this violin. XD

[punkypoof]

simply fabulous
