Taken yesterday after sound check before the first concert of the tour. This is a 5 string violin that I made last fall at the request of Emily Yarascavitch, violinist for the Tartan Terrors. Making a 5-string violin allows one to make their own decisions about measurements. One of the main criteria is that it should be more robust to handle the extra pressure of the C string, and yet it must still fit into a normal violin case. I made the chinrest from European boxwood and it's taller than normal to suit the unique requirements of the owner.
