Violin Restoration: Testore (copy or maybe not??)

Recent Posts

  • The Amelia island Chamber Music Festival is sponsoring a string program for the local boys and girls club. The local schools do not provide string education on Amelia Island. So the chamber Festival is working to develop a youth orchestra. I am fortune to be the designated luthier for the youth program. I spent this afternoon going over the donated and rental instruments which the students will start playing tomorrow. A few of the instruments were barely playable either from string height, bridge adjustments, sound post alignment, nut height, etc. etc. I am delighted how much tone improvement and playability I was able to coax out of even the half and three-quarter size instruments. My applause goes to the Amelia Island Chamber Music Festival for sponsoring this youth program, seeding the orchestral musicianship in our community

  • Layne on I’m a better carver than a 3D modeler, also I like carving more, a lot more. I built this simple 3D probe for my CNC machine. Now a little programming, also better at that than 3D modeling, and I can scan parts to make them on the CNC as a router. Now I’ll have custom chin rest, pegs, tail pieces; not to mention roughed out plates and necks. My goal is to reduce the rough carving and focus on the delicate work that requires a skilled craftsman
