  I am 73 and giving my violin collection away to young players. I am keeping one that does not look nice but sounds good. I just gave away my Great-Grandfather's violin to a 10-year-old cousin who is his Great-Great-Great-Granddaughter. I am giving the violin that I got for my 15th birthday to her younger sister who is 8.

  Not a musician here - its the wood working expertise that draws me to your videos.

  The boy was surely devastated when the accident happened after having put so much passion and comitment in saving that amount of money and buy his instrument😭

  The sad part is that he will soon be grown out of this little violin 😢

  If that 8 year old (12 year old now as it's four years later...) keeps that same passion and dedication he's going places.  I wonder if he's still using that violin or whether he's moved on to a full sized one by now.  I hope that violin is still being used and loved by someone.

  That little guy sure is a true source of inspiration. Remember when I found my &quot;the one&quot; violin and after borrowing it for quite some time I gave it back to the owner who handed it in to a maker to get it a check up and some other things before me purchasing it. When I heard how much it would cost I ended up paying 75% of it and my parents 25%. But that&apos;s after a whole summer&apos;s worth of payment and half of my study grant for about a year so I really admire this guy.<br><br>These days the violin is standing in a corner collecting dust most of the time. Since as of today the viola has become my main instrument. So if anyone has any tips or ideas of how I can make use of my violin (not selling it just want to use it since I know it&apos;s not good for it to just be in its case) I&apos;d really appreciate it :)<br><br>Thank you olaf for another good informative video!

  Can we talk about how awesome this kid is for even wanting something like this? There&apos;s a 0% chance that violin is gonna sit in an attic.

  Eight and he&apos;s got a good grasp of vibrato already. I think he played very well for a young boy in front of both a camera and a magician. He&apos;ll need a full-sized intermediate instrument in three or four years, and now they know where to come.
