Violins - Handcrafted in Taranaki
Current stock includes three new instruments and one antique restored Markneukirchen instrument. The new instruments are built by myself from imported and native woods. They are to my own design and will suit advanced students who understand their instrument. They are not factory-perfect replicas, and have various asymmetries in the detail, but they each have a unique voice and will reward the players who create a relationship with the instrument. Specific details of each instrument, including build histories, are at "violinsbyjoel.blogspot.com...
I will accept your old instrument as part-trade, negotiable depending on mutual values.
Feel free to contact me through this listing, or through my FB site "www.facebook.com...
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
