I scanned it at 600 ppi and so it is about 1 MB in size. quote:[harrison mckay email] I am afraid I don't know a thing about the violin. Brother Fred told me yesterday that Dad told him it was a replica of a famous violin, and that many were made just like it, but he, Fred, thinks it may be worth investigating further. In any case, it's Chris's call now whether or not it is worth the effort to trace the origins. If your brothers and sisters don't know any more about it and the three of us don't know either, and Chris and Char don't know, then I would guess we are out of luck. It is inspiring, though, to think about the five children of Fred and Ila listening to their grandfather play his fiddle tunes to them - maybe with them dancing around the house to the music, giddy with delight, making a lot of noise, teasing each other, their mischievous performing grandfather grinning while their parents try to quiet them down. How inspiring and captivating it must have been for them. Wouldn't it be nice to have a photo of that!
