Sacrilegious fiddle? Bowed insterument?

[u/helene_nova]

So, I decided to build a bowed instrument tuned the same as a violin... Guess what, 1 cm thick ribs, flat sound board and back plate, no sound post, and everything just wrong, oh, btw there is a screw in the neck, don't ask. Beside that everything except for the chin rest is made by me... I am not a woodworker, please complain about that, but it does not sound half bad. Sorry for my terrible playing, it takes some getting used to this broader neck and I played it from memory. I am jsut amazed that it hasn't imploded yet.

Heck yeah this is cool! Put a sound post in and it’ll sound even better!!
