[Crw-talk] Any Luthiers in CRW?

[John & Donna Griffiths]

Hello,

I have an old, perhaps not very valuable, violin that needs rebuilding.  
It has the body and neck, the top and bottom needs some re-gluing; but 
not the bridge, the part that you hold under your chin and against your 
collarbone is missing and only one tuning peg.  No strings.  No 
horsehair on the bow.  It says "Hopf" on it.  I once researched Hopf 
violins on the web, genuine Hopf ones were supposed to be reasonably 
good but a lot of cheap knock-offs were made with that name on them.  I 
have no idea if this is the genuine article or a knock-off.

It belonged to my father in law, he was notorious for not caring for 
things.

I don't want it, I don't play any instrument but I would like for 
someone to take it under their wing, so to speak, and restore it so once 
again it will make beautiful music for it's owner.  The easiest thing 
for me would be to throw it away, but I can't make myself do that.

The price is right, FREE to the person who would be interested in a 
project of this nature.  Just reply to this email, call me at 
608-248-2782 or drop me a line at 88 West 6th St. Buffalo City WI 54622.
