Thanks for your input Traftos. I’ll definitely get to work on more variations.
I’m currently attending University of Texas @ Arlington as a Freshman and decided that I desperately wanted to pursue design now instead of later.
And about changing the iconic shape of the violin; I wanted to keep its shape because techniques used to play have to feel as if you are playing a regular classical violin. Keeping the length and height of the chin rest are crucial in making the violin feel right. Those factors do cause strain in the neck, shoulders, and wrists. To eliminate the risk of health issues, the violin would have to be played in another position.
