F-Hole - Macro Mondays: Music [Explored] on Flickr.My grandfather gave me this old violin over fifty years ago when I was in my young teens. He'd had it for many years before he bestowed it upon me. The story goes that he brought it from Norway when he immigrated to America in 1905, but I can't verify that. I wish I knew more about it. I do remember him playing schottisches and polkas on it; us kids would dance around and laugh a lot when he got going! He preferred his full-sized violin. This is a 3/4 size violin. I believe that it's well over 100 years old. It was very well used when I got it and has been through a lot. We'd play with it when we were kids, not realizing how much I'd treasure it today.
