Making Top Violins in my Living Room
Amateur violin maker Danny Houck tries to build a copy of one of the world's best violins
Romanian violinist Razvan Stoica owns a replica of Il Cannone, one of the world's finest violins. The story of this violin is quite remarkable. It starts in a humble house surrounded by a corn field in the American state of Ohio. That's the home of 34 year old Danny Houck. He suffers from bipolar disorder and rarely leaves his house. But Danny has a talent: he's taught himself to make violins. Danny's story has been turned into a film, "Strad Style", directed by Stefan Avalos.
