violin duet

Made by? Two different styles? How old?

Don't think either are expensive makes. I'll try to take a photograph of the labels inside of them.

The violin on the right is Primavera - Made for the Sound Post UK. I swapped my violin about 12 years ago for this one, because it suited my needs at the time.The violin on the left is Chinese and has the following information on the label - Skylark - violin - MV 007. I believe this to be at least 20 years old, but no idea beyond that.They are both 3/4 size.Thanks for showing an interest

I never have been able to play a violin, keeping with guitar and piano, though I do have an interest in certain makes of 'bowed' instruments; I have hopes that I will be able to play my guitar again. I have no doubt of your tonal ear for the instrument; I have made inroads into the craft of the luthier, long ago.

Hmmm I played a limited repertoir on the guitar many years ago and can knock up a tune with one hand on the piano (really rough though), recorder too, . Also played piano accordian, . Asked my parents for a guitar on my 16th birthday, they obviously didn't think that was loud enough, so they got me a piano accordian with a klavoscribo (I think it was) course of music to go with it, . I gave up really because it was a guitar that I really wanted. Vic the Tic got a guitar and was about to embark on lessons at school when a friend of my ex came down and he taught her to play smoke on the water. She had two years of lessons and can still only really play smoke on the water, although she has a better grasp of reading music now, it didn't translate into notes on the guitar. I'm hoping the visual method of teaching her will help her to learn. At least she has her voice if nothing else, and whilst she hits bum notes, she is so keen to sing, it is unbelievable and she'll sing in front of audiences too, great confidence I lack the confidence to do most things at the moment, but that's a completely different story. Good luck with playing the guitar again. You should pick your guitar up again. Ohhhhhh just imagine, between us we could form our very own Picture Penzance band, . No doubt there are others with 'musical talent', or not!!!
