    This is the sixth and final part of making a violin for the boat Tally Ho. More specifically for Leo, the gentleman leading the restoration and rebuild of the boat. You can check out his channel here / @sampsonboatco
    His project is well worth the watch and follow.

    All the music in the video is played by me on banjos I've made.

    I hope Leo has a place to keep the moisture from warping this beautiful instrument. It's going to be a challenge being on a sailing boat but with a good case and some packets of moisture absorbing material it should be safe from the moisture . I can hardly wait to see Leo play this amazing gift.Leo you are a blessed man with all the wonderful people who have helped you on this project and now are gifting you a great gift .
