But this is a violin we are talking about &#8211; they aren&#8217;t meant to be easy are they? Well, structurally we are just talking about a box with a handle on it&#8230; Anyhow, I <a href=\"http:\/\/www.violins.demon.co.uk\/making\/index.htm\">encountered Derek Roberts&#8217; site devoted to detailed instructions on making a violin in 24 days <\/a>&#8211; or at least 24 episodes. It is beautifully structured and well illustrated. Even if you are not thinking of making a fiddle &#8211; the site will give great insight into what goes into making up a violin. He starts with selecting the wood, and goes from there. It has full marks from my point of view &#8211; and I&#8217;ll be adding a link from my band&#8217;s web site. After all, if you are thinking of doing an online course in fiddle playing, you&#8217;d better think about getting yourself a fiddle!
