It’s what you’ve gotta do! Learning both to build and to play the violin over the past two years has reinforced for me this very fundamental concept: you don’t get better unless you practice.
The deep red color of this violin is how most Stradivari instruments looked when they were newly varnished, as was the fashion at the time. The deep red of the old master’s violins has faded over the past 300 years. I’m hoping this one might be around long enough to fade like that!
