A cool video has emerged of a man playing on a tiny violin in Trujillo, Venezuela.

The footage shows Baltazar Monaca playing Chromatic scales on a tiny violin he built himself.

Monaca wrote online that he has always been interested in music and instruments and that he built his first tiny 14-centimetre violin when he was just 14 years old.

The violin and bow featured in the video contain all the parts of a traditional full-size violin and are made out of four different types of wood.

Although the video was captured in June 2014, it has only recently emerged online.
