Before playing my violin I would like to talk a little.
I myself made this violin, all with garbage material,
all recycled.
I just bought the strings.
It all started when a friend took me to a foundation
and I could see the violins hanging through the window.
After some days, I enrolled in the violin making classes.
Since then, I haven't stopped.
But I didn't have the money to afford the wood and make me one.
I managed to pick up all the wood that people left out in the trash,
and I gathered that wood to make a violin.
It was then that a simple thing turned into a very big thing,
that I'm still doing up to now.
Apart from violin, I also have made some other musical instruments
like guitars, mandolins, ukeleles
and many other string instruments.
All that has changed at this time.
Now, everyone who works with me
gathers wood to make their own instruments too.
I am going to play a little bit this violin right now
so you can hear how it sounds.
(Violin)
(Music ends)
(Applause)
This is the sound that I got from the trash.
Any of the instruments I have made have had sound issues.
Every instrument has a perfect sound,
including this one, with which I study and have played in many different events.
(Applause)
