Kilted Violin Photos!

**Kilted Craanen** · 19th March 09, 05:01 PM

Hello all,

Wasn't sure where to post this, but general is best I suppose. (as I had two issues)

1. Most of us wear kilts and like celtic music! how many do play their violin in a kilt? Post your pics! I'm curious.

2. I've got a violin (no pictures yet) which belonged to my great-grandfather. Inside (took me ages to decipher) it says :

Remenvi Kiraly
Vu Dangszeresz
Budapest Kiraly Utgla 4/4

anyone knows more about this ?

Thank you for reading, posting and showing!

I play in 2, sometimes 3 oldtime jams and at least once a week in bluegrass jams and allways wear a kilt. At one oldtime jam there was a visiting lady from Scotland, near Glascow who told me that the fiddle/violin was the most popular musical instrument in Scotland.
I only have one picture taken during a performance and in that, I am playing a mandolin.

Here is a vintage photo.

The lad's name is Crevier. I am directly related to this Canadian family.

As to your other question, the only thing I can add is that I believe the 4/4 relates to the size of the violin, that it is a full size violin. 3/4 scale violins are made for children.
