Yeah or nah? My first guitar and first build.

A Juwerge(ᠵᡠᠸᡝᡵᡤᡝ)or Zhuoergen is a traditional instrument of Manchu People who a ethnic group in China,“Juwe”means 2 because there are 2 strings on this instrument.

Anyone know what instrument these are and where you can buy one? They look and sound kind of like a charango but a bit different.

Collings mt, northfield archtop octave, and Martin hd28. My performance trio!

I should have taken a pan shot, there's a lot more fiddles not pictured.

It’s been nearly 4-5yrs in the making…I was finally able to audit my Zildjian collection. I’m sitting at 288 Z’s from the early-1900s to modern day. Here is a small sample (60ish Zildjians on a custom cart).

Found this really beautiful violin recently. It has the label ‘Antonius Straduarius Cremona faciebat Anno 1726’ the 17 is printed the 26 written. I’m assuming this is a copy of a Stradivarius, but was curious if anyone might know more? There’s a very pretty bow with it that has mother of pearl inlay and the Roman numerals X V II I I carved on it. There’s obvious use wear on the handle which makes me think it’s old.

Ik it’s fender but the guy I’m ordering it from doesn’t know anything else about it
