Geoffrey Seitz makes violins by hand out of his shop in St. Louis. He’s been doing it for 45 years and is still going strong.

OK Folks, as promised, the YouTube link. One important note: When you see the partially made violin body, you will see that there is a chunk of wood missing out of the rib. That particular body has been my demonstration body for many years and has gotten a little beat up because I let people handle it. Enjoy.
