Boyan Govedarski (Bulgarian Ironmonger and sculptor by chance) had fun doing unusual metal works – a VIOLIN 4/4 metal, metal shoe, yacht by stone and rusty black sheet, engagement rings like shackles with chain… and others.
To make this sculpture he broke a violin (quiet – it was no good!) and he copied it. Nothing was easy and it took a few weeks to achieve the final effect. Then I took from the workshop the hacksaw of his grandfather and we both decided that is the best bow for such a violin! The problem was that nobody wants to stay without a good instrument with history as is the grandfather hacksaw. That’s why we went to the flea market and found another! Older!

My niece weighs as much as this HEAVY METAL violin with the bow… Look at the details. The violin bow is a hacksaw… the keys – butterfly nuts.

The creative process behind crafting unique instruments is beautifully illustrated in this story, much like how a traditional violin was meticulously built over time.
