*I have moved my post from Retired's Violin Making Blog to here. 

@Mark , @stringy , @Retired -

VERY COOL! 

Rob Landes talks about the maker of the 'Titanium Violin' & how it was made in this video.

Found a cool Violin made of Metal & Wood - "the sound holes run laterally beneath the top plate".

Here's links to a few other threads of Violin oddities here on the forum. 

Antique Aluminum Bridge - Thread

Mutant Violin Bridges - Thread

Gilding The Lily - Thread

Exquisitely Patterned Wood For Bowed Instruments - Thread

 

The Triolin: Mutant Violin Requires Three Players - at Make: Magazine.  

Not metal or glass, but just had to throw this in.  A little too communal for my taste. 🤣

Amazing Emily, I like the sound of the aluminium one and also the titanium one, I think the aluminium has a dobro sound to it.
