Yup, that's him. And that's why I could find anything about him, heh.MartyNeilan wrote:Charles Ervin seems to be alive and well:Rick Denney wrote:I lived in Austin once upon a time, and knew Charles Irvin, who is a master violin maker...
At the time I knew him, he was getting real money for his violins and violas (which would require a year to make), and seemingly real respect, but I don't know what's become of him since those days.

I wonder if he would consider making wooden York copies?
It's only been maybe 23 years since I talked to him. But he still lives in the same house he lived in then.
