Rumcheck spent most of his life as a coal mine blacksmith, but with retirement came a new hobby and business. He returned to a boyhood love for violins and started making them by hand. Rumcheck recalls an early ac quaintance with the famed Fritz Kreisler. Both were boys in the same Austrian town. Kreisler went on to great heights as a musician, but Rumcheck had to forget his musical ambitions be cause of economic difficulties. "I'm too old for a music ca reer," he told friends.
