WIPLSTIX

Travel Violin

wipLstix are very handy travel violins invented and made by me in my shop in the southern Appalachians. The length between its bridge and nut is that of a standard violin, but the body has been minimized to maximize portability. wipLstix is a self contained unit, complete with its 1/8th size bow and inflatable chinrest, all fitting inside a 2" diameter by 24" long watertight traveling tube! The case will also nicely accommodate the chunk of round rosin of your choice.

Wiplstix Kit- "Camelot" Wood of Medlar
The Wiplstix kit contains:
1 violin- This very limited batch is quite probably the only violins ever made from the medlar tree. Mespilus Germanica, affectionately called "Queue de chien"  (ass of dog) by the french, is an ancient fruit of the hawthorn family. There is rarely a depiction of abundance in classical paintings that does not include a sprig of this mystical fruit. Thought to have special magical powers like that of Rowan and Hazel. If you were hip in Charlemagne's time you'd have a medlar in your courtyard. The wood is heavy and dense and will probably not project sound well. It will have cosmetic defects that will have been patched. (Hows that for a sales pitch?)
1 watertight plastic PVC case.
Bow is sold separately.
Chinrest sold separately

Rosin is not included.
