Toymakers Ep. 2 - Digitized Violin Part One

Support the show! http://tymkrs.com/donate

Episode 2 of a series where we chronicle every detail as we build, test, play, and perform with our own custom instruments. Our end goal for this project is to produce a professional quality album where every sound is produced by our own hand built instruments. All of the music you'll hear in this series are tracks that we've thrown together over the last few years.

In this episode we will be letting you take a peek at a part for our upcoming project, Copper Dragon. In the video you will see some nice all angles photography of a hand carved violin neck. Starting with this piece we will be going through all of the steps to build your own electric violin. We of course will not stop there though. As always, this series is about invention, so what we build will be something different than your typical electric violin. We're going to take some of the best ideas from the most forward thinking artists out there and build an all in one unit that can do things no one has done with a violin yet. Think: Beardyman's bastard violin prodigy love child.

Thanks for watching and if you want to see what happens with the copper dragon, just subscribe and we will keep you up to date!

please tell me where did you get that "dragons head" violin part... I've seen a real violin with that head

@stabilini I found it on ebay. You can find interesting stuff like this from time to time on there. Check out our newer videos to see this neck in place on a finished instrument.
