This is the sixth and final part of making a violin for the boat Tally Ho. More specifically for Leo, the gentleman leading the restoration and rebuild of the boat. You can check out his channel here / @sampsonboatco
His project is well worth the watch and follow.

All the music in the video is played by me on banjos I've made.
I have often thought that Tally Ho is being built like a fine instrument, so this violin will be a fine match. 🏆 Well done sir!😁
Thanks so much!
My thoughts exactly!
I used to be a boat builder and sailor, plus I've always loved classical music. So it was a pleasure to watch all the Tally Ho Violin videos for the 2nd time. It's also a real pleasure to watch such an incredible craftsman. Daniel, you can be proud of your amazing work. Well done!
Thanks so much!! Im so glad you enjoyed them and Im excited about the possibility of doing this for the Sitka Music Festival!
Me too!

I am continualy amazed at how Tally Ho brings together amazing craftspeople.
Same here!
Leo playing this violin will give some serious "Master and Commander" vibes!
haha YES
Thank you so much for creating this instrument for the Tally Ho project. What a wonderful way to honor the project!
I appreciate that! It was a pleasure and an honor.
That was awesome! Such a beautiful fiddle and such a kind and thoughtful thing to do for Leo and his crew. Thank you for sharing!
Thanks! Thanks so much for watching.
Just a beautiful vignette of construction from raw materials to a playable instrument. The complexity belies the simplicity you made it seem.
No wait of two years here!!!
Congratulations
Thanks! Maybe the next one will be ready in two years haha.
It was indeed a pleasure to join you on this journey.
Thank you for the invitation.
Thanks for watching! Im glad you liked it! Stay tuned I will be doing more in the future.
I binged myself sick with envy on the Tally Ho fiddle project. The demonstrations, the construction techniques and the supporting commentary and visuals are packed with so much information it’s a tremendously valuable document of human knowledge and craft. Loved it.
Thanks so much! Im so glad you enjoyed it! I have more series to come. I hope you enjoy them as well!
Way to go man. Clearly you’ve made some beautiful things before but I bet this never gets old. This type of content is where the internet shines. Thanks for sharing what you do.
I really appreciate that! Thank you. Yeah it never gets old seeing them done and in good hands.
Thank you, Daniel, for taking us along on this journey of your fine art wood work, crafting such beautiful sounding Violine! It sets the dot onto the i of Tally Ho, masterfully crafted by our beloved shipwright Leo and his team! We all hope your Violine will become Tally Ho’s lucky charme for all its future adventures and underline her voyages with its beautiful sound!
Fair winds to you all!❤️🙏
Thank you for the kind words! I appreciate it. Thanks so much for following along!
Thank you for sharing this series with us it was absolutely first class in all respects. The masterpiece you created is worthy of a Tally Ho seal of approval.
Thanks so much! I appreciate it!
Pairs Tally Ho like a very fine wine. Well done!
Thank you!
Really enjoyed this build. It was a real eye opener to see such precision hand crafting.
And I’m looking forward to seeing the Duchess of Desire dancing to fiddle music.
Haha That would be great!!
I'm absolutely blown away with your craftsmanship! Thank you for sharing all of the steps on building this instrument. I never knew how one was made. And I can't wait to hear it and see it on Leo's channel in the future. Thank you Daniel!
Thanks so much for taking the time to watch! I can't wait to hear it on his channel as well!
Such a pleasure to follow along with this fabulous build, Thank you for taking us along.

Beautiful! It has such character. And you got the best endorsement ever at the end by the terrific player: "It's got such a good sound to it, dude." I agree!
GREAT JOB!!!.EVERY BODY THAT HAS CONTRIBUTED TO THIS PROJECT HAS BEEN EXCEPTIONAL!!!.AND YOU ARE NO DIFFERENT....YOU HAVE BECOME A PART OF SOMETHING VERY SPECIAL...THANKS 😀 👍 👏
Thanks so much for that!
So impressive. You’ve got serious skills. Which is good because they match Leo’s. He’s got to love this.
Oh thanks so much! I sure hope he does!
@@JDanielGraham don’t worry, he will. What a very generous gesture on your part.
Man, this has been a great series to watch. Thanks for putting this together, it sounded as good as it looks!
I appreciate it! I am hoping to do more in the future so stay tuned. Thanks for watching.
I knew you were making a violin, I watched you make a violin, but you've *made* a violin! Thanks for taking us along on the journey! 🎻
haha!! I feel that way every time I make one. You are most welcome hope you enjoyed it.
Would be great if Greg could be there at the launch of Tally Ho playing sea shanties when she hits the water. What a great series you have put together, your soul is in that instrument forevermore. ❤
I appreciate that!
I came here ignorant of anything involving instrument building and learned a lot. I'm a dedicated follower now! Thanks for the education.
Im glad you are along for the ride!
Thank you so much for taking us along as you build such a beautiful instrument. The maps inside were an unbelievably magical touch, and so unexpected. You are a gifted craftsman.
I appreciate that! Thanks so much!
Congratulations Tally Ho for this beautiful gift from J Daniel Graham. Well Done!
Thanks man I appreciate it
Daniel - How wonderful! My grandson and I have been watching Leo's videos together, and he has been studying the violin for several years, so this is a welcome coming together of interests. We met you at the Maker Fair at UofL this past fall (he noted to me later that the bow needed rosin). Thanks for such a clear sense of your process.
Oh thats great!! I hope you enjoy the video and who knows I may do that event again and we can chat. (Yeah I borrowed my wifes bow last minute that day. Didnt think to grab her rosin)
I have loved every minute of these 6 episodes. Wonderful to see such craftsmanship! Finally lived the background music too - in episode 6! Congratulations on a job superbly well done - and very much in the spirit og tally ho’s excellence!
Thanks! I am glad you enjoyed them, I am hoping to make more in the future so stay tuned.
Great project and a beautiful instrument.
A beautiful gift for a wonderful project. She sounds so good and I'm sure will share many an anchorage with friends aboard Tally Ho!
I appreciate that!
Thanks Daniel, that was incredible to watch. I can't wait to hear Leo play it. I know he was a busker in his younger years, but he has never played on the show. This is a chance to finally see him play. I look forward to watching more of your videos. Take care.🎼🎻
Thanks so much! I really appreciate it.
Wow! I’m so much in awe in what you’ve made out of some wood “scraps”. Huge props! Leo and crew are gonna love it, man!
Thanks so much!
Well done indeed, what a lovely thing to give to Tally Ho.
Thanks! I appreciate it.
OMG that was freeking awesome. Fiddle sounds amazing too. I'm no professional but I know what my ears like.
So glad you liked it!
You have created an amazing bright and vibrant toned instrument a skill beyond measure. Thank you for sharing this build with us and I look forward to hearing it played on tally ho videos in the future.
I appreciate it! Thanks so much for watching and following along.
What a teacher and what craftsmanship!!
I appreciate that! Thanks
I loved these 6 episodes very much. The workmanship, the pace, the style and music were excellent.
Im so glad. I am looking at making more so stay tuned!
Amazing to watch the construction of this beautiful instrument. Gives me a new found respect for the people who make these instruments, such a manual and physical work
It sure is! Thanks for watching!
The fiddle will fit Tally Ho perfectly. I found my foot tapping to the tunes. Well done!
So glad you enjoyed it!
I am watching this last episode Again, because the whole thing was too dang short. You’ve created a masterpiece to go along with Tally Ho, which is a masterpiece itself !
Thanks! Well stay tuned I will be putting some more little series out like this. Ive thought about doing a truly tally ho themed one to auction off. What do you think?
From blocks of wood to a violin, beautiful work, from a modern day craftsman. These 6 videos have been very informative and enjoyable, the end result was a wonderful sound. A great addition to Tally Ho.
Thanks so much. Im glad you enjoyed the little series. I am looking to do more so stay tuned!
Beautiful job on the violin. A fine addition to Tally Ho!
I appreciate it!
Just beautiful! I’m sure Leo will be thrilled.
Fantastic, Leo owes you a trip out to sea
I hope Leo has a place to keep the moisture from warping this beautiful instrument. It's going to be a challenge being on a sailing boat but with a good case and some packets of moisture absorbing material it should be safe from the moisture . I can hardly wait to see Leo play this amazing gift.Leo you are a blessed man with all the wonderful people who have helped you on this project and now are gifting you a great gift .
stunning. the build has been very enjoyable to watch. Thank you for sharing your craft
You are most welcome! Thanks for watching
A beautiful instrument created from the raw wood contents of a cardboard box. Shaped into creation and endowed with a soul by a master of the art. From this beautiful violin will spring forth vibrations of wondrous music across the seas that will lift the hearts of those who sail Tally Ho.
Just amazed at the craftsmanship some people have, watching the love you have making instruments is what perfection is all about. Such a fitting instrument for the Tally Ho and can' wait to see Leo's expression when he sees it.
I can't wait either! thank you
Wonderful job, great contribution. I hope your work is more widely appreciated. You should DEFINITELY be there for the launch!!
Thanks so much I really appreciate that! I would love to be at the launch!
Nice piece of work and it's so amazing all the people who have been brought together through such an interesting adventure. Absolute blessing to be able to appreciate the skills of so many others you might otherwise never know about.
I think the same thing as I see so many craftspeople gather around the Tally Ho project. I am thankful to be apart of that!
Turned out beautiful and that was fun to watch, thanks for sharing!
Thanks! You are most welcome!
Beautiful work and it sounds amazing. Can’t wait to hear it played on Tally Ho
Thanks! Same here!
JD thanks so much for taking Us along for this Awesome Work of Art. Both things will go Hand to Hand
So glad you enjoyed watching it! I appreciate the kind words.
Thank you for sharing the creating of this gorgeous instrument. Magnificent!
You are most welcome! Glad you enjoyed it!
He a boat builder and a sailor , he's a pirate 🦜 and that violin 🎻 is way to good for the likes of him.
haha!
Very nice indeed! Tally Ho's open house is tomorrow, but after several hours at the Port Townsend Wooden Boat Festival today, I'm not sure my bum knee is up to standing in the queue. I'll see how I feel in the morning. Looking forward to seeing Leo's video when he receives the fiddle.
How beautiful! Very pleased with the entire presentation of this instrument!
I appreciate that! Thanks
Oh!.. Oh!.. WOW! It must hurt intensely to be grinning so hard after hearing your "shredder" "really put the wood to it." What more can one say...I'll just listen. Thank you so much for your love, your passion, and skill in making a fine and meaningful instrument of joy. Anchors Away!
Thanks so much for the kind words! Yes it was so fun and joy filled to see it being played!
Wow! It came out so nice. Loved watching your process and seeing the results. Can't wait to see it played on the boat!
Thanks so much!
What a delight to watch the process! Makes me want my Cello back which I've stopped playing when I was 18 unfortunately. If I'd seen how such an instrument is made think I would not have stopped. What an art!
You should totally start playing again. There are some reasonable cello out there these days. So glad you enjoyed the videos.
Loved this. I've followed Tally Ho, all of it, and shared with family and friends. This is such a fantastic addition to the story. Kudos.
That is a beautiful finish love the grain on it. I used to finish staircases and trim and love seeing the different grains. I want to see Leo's face when he sees it. Awesome gift Daniel
Thanks! Well he just got it a couple days ago. Can't wait to see it on the boat.
❤❤❤in 1968 my fingers on my left hand. Have forever wanted to play a string instrument.
Watching this has been incredible. Thank you for sharing.
Have you thought about playing a banjo!! They are great and I know people with just a couple fingers that play them
You do such fine work that anyone would be proud to own this violin or fiddle.
Thanks so much!
Loved watching you bring to life such an elegant musical instrument. I'm dumfounded and in awe...well done kind sir!
Thanks so much for that.
A work of art to go along with another work of art Tallt Ho
Beautiful! Thanks for sharing this process with us all!
You are welcome! Thanks for watching!
My brother and sister played string instruments. Brother did violin, and sister did cello. After watching this I have a much better appreciation for why my dad was so nuts about "being gentle" with these instruments. and there is no TH in height....
Just gorgeous; and I learned so much from watching, too. Thanks!
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!
Beautiful job! I'm glad that I found your channel and was able to follow along.
Thanks so much for watching!
Daniel, what a wonderful instrument. So very nicely done, and it looks gorgeous. Leo is going to love it. It certainly matches the craftsmanship that goes into Tally Ho, and I'm sure it will be appreciated by all.
I really appreciate that. Thanks so much!
Great wee series ! Can't wait to see it on Talley Ho.
Same here! Should be more series to come so stay tuned.
Well done JD, what a beautiful piece for this wonderful yacht
Thanks so much
I'm so impressed ! You have a gift obviously!
Thanks so much!
BEAUTIFUL! Greg, you need to calendar yourself to be at the launch playing that fiddle at the launch.
I'll let him know!
I don't know if it's just the way the sound comes through the camera mic, but it's such a bright and lively sounding instrument! What a fantastic result.
She is a loud one that is for sure. I was happy with how it turned out.
It's been interesting to see the whole process of making a violin / fiddle. I fully expect Leo to be very happy and future shipmates grateful for your efforts. I look forward to your next project and future videos.
Thanks so much!
As a musician and fiddle player a beautiful piece of workmanship!!
I appreciate that! Thanks!
@@JDanielGraham I am interested to know what you would charge for a custom fiddle?
They start at 3,600 and go up from there based on inlay, wood selection, carving etc. Also if it is a crazy cool idea and I get excited about it the price sometimes comes down haha. @@joelhorn5858
Have really enjoyed this series and intend to keep watching future videos. Can't wait to see the violin handover. Thanks
Thanks so much and thanks for watching!
Beautiful piece, love the Tally Ho build, a wonderful addition to it's finely crafted furniture. A lovely gift
Thanks so much! I hope they really enjoy it!
Nice job! Its beautiful!! Thank you so much for letting us see the process.
Thanks for watching!
Thank you so much for showing us this build. A tremendous achievement demonstrating some stunning craftsmanship. I am truly awestruck.
I appreciate it! Thanks for following along.
Such a great addition to the tally ho project. And well, you gained me as a viewer with no musical background or interest as a follower because your videos are so well done I will continue to follow. Thank you.
I really appreciate that. I have hopes of making more so thank you for following along.
For a new violin, that sounds wonderful.
Yeah I can't wait to hear and see it age. Well I would like to run across it again in the future.
Just amazing the talent that is around. Excellent job. Very cool instrument build. This will be a wonderful addition to the Tally Ho.
What an incredible instrument build Dan! Having made a few solid body & Acoustic guitars myself, I can really appreciate the amazing craftsmanship that went into making that Violin/Fiddle. Well done Sir & I know that Leo & the crew will treasure it! BRAVO! 👍👍🎻🎻👏👏
Thanks! Im sure they will enjoy it and hopefully treasure it!
Well done ....fantastic craftsmanship. Leo will love it.
Amazing craftsmanship - beauftiful result …love the sound. Hope to see the fiddle color contrast change as the cherry darkens (love cherry)
Thanks, and same here I can't wait to see it age! Well I would like to see it later in life but who knows.
Awesome video series. Thank you for sharing with us. Beautiful work.
Thank you for sharing the journey 😊
Great work, it has real character.
That has a VERY Beautiful sound to it! It has fiddle embodied into it rather than violin & I like that.
It seemed fitting. Thanks
Was awesome to see the build process. 🤘🏻😎🤘🏻
So glad you enjoyed it!
