My Violin Project

Check out my violin project at...

I'll give you some background....

My dad buys antique, European violins. He repairs and restores these instruments. Recently, he purchased this violin, which was advertised as vintage. When it arrived, we found that, in actuality, it was a cheap, very poorly made instrument imported from China. I decided to take on this project for myself. This blog is a timeline of my progress, showing and describing the steps I am taking to remake and re-voice this violin.

There is Power in the Blood






Power in the Blood is one of my favorite hymns to play in the bluegrass gospel style.
Here is a YouTube link of myself playing this song in a personalized style.
