Carved Rattle Snake Electric Violin

Awesome design! Looks like it was made to play the song “Devil Went Down to Georgia” but I may be showing my age …

-- Steve - Impatience is Expensive

So Cool!!!

-- Kevin - Keep the shiny side up

That is awesome!

-- Hey you dang woodchucks, quit chucking my wood!!!!

You put such an effort in this violine and it is amaizing.

What a nice job, Love the head! How’s she sound? This is really neat!

I’m not a violin enthusiast, but what you have here looks so out of the box, so completely awesome. If you are not familiar with Lloyd Tinsley (I believe that is his name), the violinist for the Dave Matthews Band, check him out. How awesome would it be if he played your violin on the road?!!

What a cool violin, its great! I love the rattle snake theme. I make chairs and have this idea rumbling around in my head – snakes on a chair – the back of the chair teaming with carved snake. Your carving will be very helpful to me. Fabulous project.

Beautiful work. How does it sound?

Very very cool!

-- So many tools, so little money. *heavy sigh*

Really different ! I wonder what Antonio Stradivari would make of it ?

I love the creativity and the thinking outside the box! Violinmaking is so mired in traditionalism and set patterns that it is rare to find someone who dares to do something new and different.

Fortunately, electric violins don’t rely so heavily on the sound box for the tone qualities and there is freedeom to be more creative.

I’m not familiar with the wood you used. It looks rather heavy compared to the traditional instrument. Perhaps you might clarify this issue for me?

Thanks for the insipiration!

Your electric violin is pure magic.

This is really Cool, I’m with Hal, would love to hear IT! —I vote for a video!
