Got my vote. It's an exceptional piece of craftmanship - Hope you win.
Like all the others on instructables, would love to hear a sound sample if you have one.

Cheers and beers,

i have an open sting recording i did for some sound analysis soft ware , and did have a video from a mobile phone but its real real crap ( phones old )

Signed up and voted for ya.

Doesn't look like you have much competition so far, good luck

Hi Ken

It seems to me that if the violin is as good a sound as your testers say it is, then you would probably get a lot more votes if you published a short mp3 of a competent player, playing a proper and popularly recognisable tune. IE. Greensleeves or some such.

The MP3 that you have put on the instructable is not a good advert for the violins properties.

Even better would be a beautiful girl in a bikini playing the violin. I bet that would quadruple your votes.

yes working on that , one of the Darwin orchestra players , 2 songs , a well known classic , a bit of talking then a mean heavy metal rant while he destroys a bow , its funny to watch the bow abuse ( viral on Utube " would be good )

You somehow managed to completely miss the bit about the bikini girl. I don't think that a bikini boy will have the same effect.

Congrats you made it on to my favorite site !! (other than this one of course)
Hand made carbon fiber violin is a stunning work of craftsmanship - Hack a Day

Good luck with the contest,
