Violin Virtuoso

Violin maker Joseph Rashid, 98, of Nevada City, Calif., has never sold one of the 103 violins that he made. Rashid's violins have been played by world class violinists such as Yehudi Menuhin. Scottish fiddler Alasdair Fraser recently tried some of the violins in Rashid's collection.

For all we know in 250 years they could be cherished like the Strativari violins are now.

[TheAwakenedHeretic]

His violins will live on for eternity, and thus, so will he.

@SwampAshHSS

also, he probably couldnt become a good violinist for the same reason he doesnt make his violins as he used to. he probably didnt have enough time until his age affected his performance

@SwampAshHSS

i doubt he doesn't still play just because he loves it.. i think he just didnt pursue it as a career
