From news-press.com:
Don’t expect a Stradivarius when violinist Glenn Donnellan steps onto the stage at Barbara B. Mann Performing Arts Hall this weekend.
Donnellan’s violin is made out of ash, not willow or maple. It was built in modern-day Louisville, not 17th Century Italy.
And in a pinch, Donnellan could use it to knock a home run all the way up to the cheap seats.
