Linda surprised me by playing her great grandfather's (Ira M. Henkle) handmade violin for me at sunset. She had new strings, bridge and one of the handcarved pegs Grandpa made installed on the violin and got a new bow to go with it. The violin was made 61 years ago and has never been played.
It was a lovely way to end the day!!!!
