Fox Posted September 8, 2012 Author Share Posted September 8, 2012 Yup, that's the one I was shown by PoD's good lady wife that started this whole thing.

Captain Jim Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 (edited) All that work and then they put a modern acorn nut on the volume knob. A knuckle bone or a tiny skull would have been so much more appropriate. Still and all, quite striking. Oh, and the fifth string is a "C" normally found on the viola. The viola lacks the violin's high frequency "E" string. So here you have a greater range of tonality.

LadyBarbossa Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 hmmm.... this would be an interesting topic to pick back up. I like the idea of the five strings... perhaps the ghost strings like on the hardanger fiddle, too, but to make the fiddle more like a pochette? I've begun to learn the viola... the five strings would allow you to play trble and alto clef. wicked cool! ~Lady B Tempt Fate! an' toss 't all t' Hell!"
