    Welcome to "Violin Making 101" -- literally. This episode of DIY's Handmade Music introduces viewers to the students and faculty at the Chicago School of Violin Making. It's an introduction to the very first steps of building a violin.

    This first episode in the five-part violin series focuses on the initial steps of building a violin. The rib structure is the foundation of a violin, and Chicago School co-director Becky Elliott demonstrates the step-by-step process of creating a rib structure for a beautiful violin.
