Stradivariasaurus, the Diggin' Dino created by Megan Popowski for Fein Violins, spent the summer of 2008 at 1850 Grand Ave., St. Paul, Minnesota. Stradivariasaurus proudly displayed violin parts on its body. The shop itself was new to me since I never had the privilege of playing a stringed instrument. Carefully crafted wooden instruments were hung about waiting for repair or purchase. Much like a shoemaker's shop, this shop also had its unique smells. More information about the shop can be obtained from the Fein Violins website.
Carole, I just loved the smells of the shop. Do they oil violins like they do clarinets? I had to oil my wood clarinet to keep it from cracking.
