  <description>Chris &amp;amp; Rozie explore the mental health challenges that come with violin building. While some bring OCD tendencies to the bench (which has its benefits as well as detractors), others battle the inner demons that come with the territory of being your own judge, alone in your workshop. Chris talks about his year dubbed "the breakdown" and Julian Cossman Cooke gets candid about his struggles with depression. Coda with our bud Jerry Lynn. Special Guests: Jerry Lynn and Julian Cossmann Cooke.
