Oh my God this is beautiful...Amazing violin...

perhaps i misworded my opinion, as i find the violin to be beautiful, an almost taoist rendering of a violin. it appears as though it is made from clay, an imitation of a violin, but the sound belies it's face.
i would be quite pleased to see more of this maker's violins, should you care to share his name!

That is just fantastic playing. The violin is amazing too!!!

Hahaha, yes! There's a strings shop downtown where I live and the last time I went, I spent over an hour just trying out a bunch of bows that they gave me to choose from. I didn't even end up buying a bow that day, but instead took four different ones home for a trial period. And the time I was picking out a new violin, oh jeez. I think I spent at least two hours trying out the most gorgeous instruments in the cozy little side room them have. Violin shopping is fun. :D
if i had to describe the instrument but not the sound, i'd say it seems like a clay rendering of a violin made by someone who knows nothing of the craft of the luthier...but then i would have to qualify the sound, as this unskilled person has created a sonor masterpiece...brilliant! and well played i might add...

this is a very special violin. the maker was considered a genius in both instrument making and sound, and he was apparently very eccentric...there's a story that he set up a booth and made a violin in an hour at the 1900 worlds fair. he made these exagerated violins for some special reason...not all of his violins were like this...its much prettier in person :D

strange. i was thinking of getting a custom-made violin that i would've looked exactly like this. i have never seen a violin made almost the exact way i wanted it to be. the modified magini-style holes with the slightly raised edge would've been the finishing touch on my instrument. can i get the maker's name?
thanks!

hi, this violin was made somewhere between 1890 and 1900. i'm sure you could find a modern maker to attempt the design :D
