These are front and back shots of an 1893 German violin I own.  I call it, "The Grandfather."

    Thanks everyone for the comments! No, KayN, I don't play this one. It has some damage to the instrument ribs and needs a little repair before it can be played, so I just keep it as part of my collection. I may repair it someday, but not now. -Wes

    The Red Violin is an excellent movie. There were some extremely talented folks in that film. It took the guy 6 years to do the research for it. -Wes

  • Instrument has aged well--now if it were just repaired and you could make beautiful music with it.
