The pirate fiddle I've been building recently is now on eBay!

Hi Ed,

A couple of thoughts about the listing:

1) If I didn't know from this forum that you had done the luthiering, I would read this as a listing for a modified violin. I do not think the phrase hand built "pirate" violin adequately conveys that this is much more than a stock violin that was later decorated.

2) Link to some sound clips. Would you lay out 600 quid on an instrument you haven't heard?

Just my tuppence, as always.

And, also as always, fyne work there mate. Looks to have been a fun project.

Speaking for myself, I wouldn't lay out more than £100 for a fiddle I hadn't personally played - sound clips are so unreliable.

Either way, in light of some advice from other quarters I have lowered the price.
