Can you believe this? I remember my grandfather making a violin for my father! What made him think he could make a violin? But he made one. He made one for my father who played violin. My father played violin with his brothers and sister in a little band for silent movies in the 1920's before talking movies came out.
Anyway, here is the violin he made. My father used to play it all the time.
I just thought someone might want to hear a story like that. I'm going to have my daughter put strings on it. It currently hangs on the wall in my dining room.
Have a great day, everybody.
that is a magical story, it made me smile...
ReplyDeleteYou certainly came from a very talented and creative family. Looking forward to the "big" day :-)

That beautiful violin would be hanging quite proudly on my wall. I can't play so I would want to see it every single day.
ReplyDeleteIt's a beautiful story, & a beautiful violin!

ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful story. I have a violin that belonged to my great grandfather. I'm thinking I should display it. It's now stored in a case.
