daughter plays the classical stuff but he goes in for the hoe down also makes violins. While she owns a rare violin she plays, the daughter, Mrs. Betty Vanderpool Hough, wife of a dental specialist, gained no littla area note as a violinist using one of the regular-sized violins her father made. A newspaper picture showing the "world's smallest violin" was a challenge Vanderpool couldn't resist. He decided to make a smaller one.

And he did. But it took a year of his spare time, teeth-straiglening wire from his son-in-law's office and the tip of a bone knitting needle belonging to Mrs. Vanderpool's grandmoth er. The built-to-scale model of the violin measures one and one-fifth inches overall. It is a complete reproduction, in miniature, of a regular violin.

The body of the violin is made of maple and spruce. The finger board is of ebony but made from there were the glueing operations as in the convention size. The violin is hollow and has the sounding posts. Copying the orthodox instruments, Vanderpool cut a sliver from the knitting needle to pro- ide the bone tailpiece. All this, including fashioning the Bridge, was comparatively easy.

The holes presented a prob- em, but not for long. Vanderpool 'cut teeth" in a needle and sawed out the holes. Then with a dentist in the family, the "strings" caused no concern. Wire used as straightening equipment solved that situation. Like finer instruments, Vanderpool's miniature has an inlay.

He made an they say the shavings of ebony and maple. By now, having beaten the 'world champion" by fully one- 'ourth of an inch, Vanderpool couldn't stop without fashioning a in detail. A lone horse lair provided the hair for the DOW, which is complete with actual pearl inlay. In doing virtually all of the work, Vanderpool had to wear magnifying glasses.
