Comments from the owner who commissioned me to restore these two violins and cases: [I never saw anyone playing this violin, but do remember being taking to what they called "barn dances". There would be fiddlers, guitars, banjos playing to square dancing and the small kids would play outside or sit around the walls. The barn dances would be held on the full moon. Saturday nights, when the weather was good. I was eight years old when he died. I'm almost sure that he played at these dances when he was younger.] - Mr. Lynch's Grandson.
Mr Lynch brought me two violins and two cases. They were owned by his grandfather William James Elias Lynch (Jim) Born January 6, 1861, Died August 26, 1948.
He's having me restore them for his grandaughters who are first and second chair in the state orchestra for South Carolina in 2020.
