The Fenland Black Oak Violin

Written By Nigel Housden

The Unique Black Oak Violin

After some 3000 - 4000 years consumed in a Fenland swamp the ancient tree - a black oak has provided a valuable piece of wood, which has now been fashioned into a magnificent table and exquisite violin.

The only violin of its kind in the world, a stunning instrument, superbly crafted, unique. The video clip from Anglia TV features the violin and the first public airing in Ely Cathedral.

I will be posting more details regarding the making of the violin and the craftsmanship involved with this remarkable instrument.
