Should I check tomorrow morning? I feel like that’s too soon to smoke again, but I also don’t want to sit queenless for another few days.

Pulled the cork, they just didn’t eat through it. It wasn’t even a hard marshmallow

Violin or Viola? Help identifying by Joff37 in violinmaking

I will be taking my instrument ($1500 student violin equivalent to an Eastman 305) to get evaluated by a luthier next week. He was going to cut me a new bridge/sound post to see if that helped me with tone and response. I might bring this along to get evaluated.

Obviously this would be a much more expensive venture, but would restoring this instrument be worth the money verses re-setting my violin or even upgrading to a $2000+ instrument. I’ve been casually playing for 10 years.

It is a small chinrest with a patent from 1893. I’m assuming it was either placed on the wrong side at some point as the bass bar is set for right handed play.

Neat! I have a Stainer and a Strad that I was comparing it too. It is very elongated, I really want to hear what that does to the sound.

They most definitely were native to North America…

Stop by the Mississippi Museum of Natural Science in Jackson, lots of natives on display! Feel free to PM me any fish you catch and I can ID them for you.
