Way too big to be a violin.
Must be a viola.

OK, in a few years, this guy will definitely be making boy puppets, hoping one comes to life.

Not a fan. If you’re going to do this, you cannot cut corners.
You either have a violin on a violin, etc.
Or, a violin player with a violin on a violin player on a violin, etc.
Not some chimeric monstrosity like this violin player with a violin on a violin.
Sorta interesting factoid: a Stradivarius violin would probably have been made from wood that had been stored floating in the Venice lagoon, possibly for several years. That’s how they stored logs. Maybe this big violin is just returning to the river of its youth to spawn.
