Vic d dont get me wrong I think it is super cool, it's just that typically violins and classical guitars are quite expensive while most ukes are quite affordable.... So it just feel a bit weird.
I love my ukes, and in fact I cannot believe that 1/2 dozen beautiful ukes cost as much as my one classical,guitar.
I wish other beautiful instruments were as affordable as ukes.
I was not discriminating at all. I think it is awesome, just feels a bit weird that is all.
I like your thought... The saving of a violin.
And the one shown here sounds wonderful. I hope to see your "bride" here when it's done.
It's all about music, all good.
