It's old dusty and looks used
and abused.
No , not me silly.
This violin was made by my grandfather.
My picture taking
doesn't do it justice.
...
He was quite handy.
He had made several guitars,
banjos, and this violin.
I thought of repairing it.
It is not playable.
It is not valuable, only to me.
His garage was a wonderland
of tools that could fix,
repair, and create.
I wish I had those tools
and those skills.
I don't.
However I do have memories
and this handmade violin.
Thanks Grandpa Jack

Thank you. It is something special. Skills, talent, and he had the ability to play what he built. He was Russian, the Russian part of my Russian/Polish heritage. Maybe some of it will wear off on me!

By the way, my middle name Jacob came from him. His nickname of course was Jack.
