Hello!
I'm Batto,
I have an antique violin that I need to fix up, it's always been a dream of mine to be able to work on violins. (always wanted to be a luthier) and learn how to play a violin.
I don't have a musical family so its a bit of an uphill battle half of the time as I'm on my own. So expect to see me a lot here... especially considering I ended up with a lot of time on my hands after a serious concussion from a car accident.
So Hello!

Batto! Hello sir. I too think that restoring or building a violin from scratch is an interesting goal. Keep updates on your progress!

Thanks! Yes I have a lot of time on my hand and I've recently had fate shove a project into my hands I've wanted to make for quite some time. It's a rather unique violin, or rather I'm going to recreating my own version of something from the early 20th century.
I recently made a bunch of violin clamps for the top and bottom plate of my violin, so that was a positive, and I found an old coffin case at a thrift store which needs to be fixed and re-glued.
