It's Back

The violin I accidentally acquired back in March 2010, after a couple of attempts to get it repaired is done and

all it needed were a few mechanical adjusters,

and the sound post reinserted or replaced

and a new bridge.

All done and ready to play or be displayed.
I tried to play the well known melody from danse macabre by C.C. Sainte-Saens, but it was more like dance macrap. Very squeaky and very tough without frets. The dog looked very put out having to listen to me. I also want to play the theme from Sherlock Holmes (Jeremy Brett version), but I'll try it while no one is home. If I can screech out those 2 melodies, that will be enough, more than enough I'm sure some would say.
