Thanks, Uncle John. Fingers crossed, but getting the neck angle to accommodate the arch top and a bridge is going to be a challenge for me. Not sure what sort of pup to use, but I'm tending towards a mini microphone on the inside.
Ermmmm......Uncle John,....have you got any glue ? Haha.
It looks OK in the pic but it's actually a very cheaply made thing. Very roughly finished on the inside with plastic tuning pegs etc. I think that the case, which is old, is probably worth more than the violin.
Ya it would be hard for me to saw of the neck on this one. Old funky broken fiddles are fair game. I have trouble doing in a nice one. You can see the glowing coals in James eyes, he's ruthless...

Yup, Dog. I am tempted to get one and do it too. Hope you get a triple, good looks, easy playing and good sound.

NOOOO!!!! That's a Stradavarius worth millions. Don't chop it!

I don't know whether to keep it simple or really pimp the thing.
