Doesn't matter. Rembrandt (the Dutch guy) didn't paint Whistler's Mother, either.

Trouble is Stradivarius could not paint and Rembrandt made rubbish violins

I do actually have a violin - not a 'Strad' - in my loft, from many years ago when I used to play.  Must retrieve it and have a play (or should I say 'try' and have a play).............sometime!

Or if you don't play it you could build a small boat out of it. Cheesy

That would be waste of a good musical instrument.   However, I do have a small fibre-glass boat hull about the length of the violin in my garage which I made about 10-years ago and which I may find time to elaborate on and sail after I retire.

Yes it would.  OK, how about when you retire you could make a violin?  Would you be interested in that sort of hobby when you stop building boats?

Also do you know Les, the double bass player.  I believe he builds boats too, I know he was involved in restoring the decking of the Lydia Eva.  He plays bass in the band Son of Cash.

What sort of stuff did you used to play?  I'm interested because I also play violin.

Don't think I would want to make violins Joe.

Sorry I don't know Les, either.

I played the violin in a youth orchestra in Liverpool in the early 1960's, so naturally it was classical. 

What do/did you play?
