<p>I may go hunt for my oversized softball bat. Probably would make a decent viola.</p>

<p>Hmmm, I wasn’t going to respond since I’m not bassdad, but since he seems to be ignoring you, I thought I’d mention that I have forwarded that link to a bunch of people. thanks!</p>

<p>And I suppose it could only improve the viola…? ;)</p>

<p>Great link (although I’m not BassDad either). I wonder if my kid could make a horn out of a metal bat:)</p>

<p>Sorry, I am not ignoring you. I am involved in a couple of summer productions at local community theaters and have been spending a lot more time in rehearsals than on CC.</p>

<p>Fascinating video. I have seen instruments made to resemble non-musical objects before, most frequently violins and flutes that double as canes, but never a violin made from a stock baseball bat. I once had a literal-minded friend who converted a small wooden doghouse into a playable (if not very refined sounding) string bass so as to make the obvious visual pun onstage. Unfortunately, that was long before YouTube, so I have no videos.</p>
