A client asked me to build them a six string violin last month I normally don't but what the heck i need the money, so it was back to my cad package and to the fantastic STL software and Designer. I also have made a stab at making my own chin rest in order to paint them to match, also having six strings made me design a new bridge and 6 string tail...

Just wondering, are your violins (and I think I remember a mandolin) hollow or solid? It is beautiful as your work always is.

Beautiful beautiful work, LG. A friend of mine made his own mandolin years ago and did a great job, but can't wait to show him. I am a 5 string banjo guy myself, but no where near the challenge to build as those you do. Thank you for sharing...

Hi Al I sure do! all the Liquid violin parts are still made on the CW. I have got pretty good at using the large format machines and software for other jobs. But I pick and choose.

I always been a fan you your work and help has been so important over the years.

Just curious.... how many total man hours does it take to make a violin... painting and all? How about man hours on one of your guitars?

I can't say as it's my job but I can say it's overall fast at this point. I make the parts in batches neck body fingerboard and then assemble when needed.

this lets me select the wood for the color and string choice. I like to make parts for 5 to 10 spread over a few days.

LG, that makes it more amazing. I have never heard of a 6 string violin.
