Awesome, I play the viola and the violin myself. Your post has made me want to make my own instrument as well. Perhaps one day in the future.... Definitely on the bucket list ^^

I'm glad that you're thinking about building your own violin or viola - that's more than I hoped for! If you have the chance, go look for a luthier who will accompany you. Especially if you want to build a violion, because it's a pretty traditional craftmanship. Wish you only the best!
