Just when I thought I was running out of ideas for new builds, Today I was gifted this Lovely, Dusty, Old Time Worn, Dilapidated Violin & Case, by a 75 year old friend, which originally belonged to his Father, but I have no idea how old it is, or who it was made by, looked for a Stradivarius Sticker, but alas couldn’t find one!After having thoughts of restoring it as a Violin, I will probably end up turning the Violin into my favourite style of build; a 3 String Fretless CBG Type Build, and the Case into a Lap Slide of some sort, will keep the Rustic look of the Violin instead of cleaning it up, but might do a bit of tidying up on the Case.

"Thanks UJ", the Case will require a little bit of repair work, as it is, unfortunately, a bit, beat-up, bombed-out, dog-eared, down-at-the-heels, dumpy, grungy, mangy, mean, miserable, moth-eaten, neglected, ratty, run-down, scrubby, scruffy, seedy, shabby, sleazy, tacky, tatty, threadbare, timeworn and tumbledown, and your right about some people referring to some of us "Old Fogies" as any of the afore mentioned synonyms for dilapidated, but!, not always behind our backs :-D

I like the case. Dilapidated. Fine word we don't hear very often. Well, maybe people behind my back say, "Look at that dilapidated old man."
