Violins

Lots of work.
Over years of time.
Mediocre workmanship.
Have no clue as to sound quality.
Haven't cranked them up to tune yet.
The pochette really could use a smaller tailpiece.

One of my ugliest violins is actually being used by a violinist because she thought toe tone was very good.
Better than her expensive store bought one.
I still need to put a soundpost in the violin and move the one in the pochette.

Dealing with soundposts is impossible.

Went to a concert Sunday.
Had lunch at Julia's in Wallingford.
Listened to a great performance of the Sibelius violin concerto.
