I finally found a luthier that still makes instrument in Québec hehe, they are hiding off the internet I tell you! There is a little image of his heaven also, but it looks all neat.

Believe is or not the man reached that conclusion and he is on NO forums NOR reads them and has no other outside influences. Interesting. The violin I got from him already has his "special" chin rest and he is right. It is his $10 high end model and he does not know what the name is

Haaaaa! Those damn New Yorkers, lmao.
When I saw the first pic while scrolling up, I thought this was a pic of a NC backwoods baitshop with a fancy display case; then scrolled up one more and thought, "yeah, baitshop, he has fishing poles hanging in the background", then realized, wait, not fishing poles, violin bows,,,,,, and it's a music shop!
And the "because they're the only ones that work [read, only ones I have to sell]" comment just topped off the picture.
Thanks for sharing that little piece of American charm Oliver! I've seen something very similar in Lake Worth, TX; music shop that happened to also sell worms [that would be fishing worms]!

If you drove thru his town at 25 MPH you would have to back up to see it. The worms can't be far away.
Besides, I may have been hasty to only show the violin part of the operation. His actual location is called a "Mercantile" ..... whatever that is
@Fiddlestix hang loose I have a CR picture somewhere.

A Mercantile is a place to dine out (?) I did not see any NC coleslaw in the shop ...
or hush puppies, etc. so maybe his shop once was really a "Mercantile" ????
