Maybe try uploading to a picture site like Photobucket and then linking them?

Either way, congrats on the purchase! I'm happy you got a gem of an instrument.

Try number 3 failed again...But I have created an account in Flikr, here is the link:

I uploaded the pics of my Cecilio CVN500 as well. The new fiddle is the red one. Which has no label to identify the maker. However, it is two piece back, cedar on top, and two-piece maple on back. Seller described these woods to be aged a minimum of 20 years, hand-made, and it sounds good to me. A video coming soon one of these days, maybe I will have the Star Spangled Banner by then :-)

OMG, what a diamond is right!

If it sounds half as good as it looks, WOW...

For the price, I'll take 2 please...

It's in beautiful condition,, and 20+ yrs old... I'm really impressed.

Great luck SirRyu. Wish I could say the same thing. The vso I bought took a lot of work on the new bridge I made just to make it play at all. It would not play at all on the A and E strings. Third time must be the charm. Good thing I have a CVN 500 myself. facepalm
