Description: VTG Folk Art Pistol Revolver 1877 Colt Lightning WOOD Carved Texas Violin Maker By Alfred N. Schann: As a boy, Al Schahn knew that the handmade violins his “papa” created made a distinct sound. Now 88 years old, Schahn began patiently restoring musical instruments last year and has since refurbished more than 20 violins, he says, including 13 that his father made. The instruments arrived from places like Denton, Breckenridge, Comanche, Kerrville, Kennedale, Arlington and Dallas. Recently, Schahn strung the first fiddle he crafted himself. “It’s never been played,” he says of the instrument before giving the wood a few taps. ”It’s like thumping a watermelon … this is ripe.” Schahn grew up in the Texas Hill Country watching his father mend furniture and make violins and guitars using wood from the trees around Rio Frio. He’d also design special tools for his father to use in his woodworking, which often took place outdoors on a tree stump. His brother Bill is a pianist who taught Beyonce's teacher. These days, in his spare time, Schahn scours garage sales and estate sales, searching for derelict violins as well as material, such as ornate wood or wrought iron, which he can fashion into musical display stands. He says he once struck a deal at an estate sale for three cast-off violins. In original found great condition!Please see photos.
