Violin Nicolo: Varnish all done. I’m back in the studio today. Last week I had a visit from Mr Influenza, and his cousin Cough. We spent a lot of late nights doing brandy shots, watching some movies, listening to some great music. They were having so much fun, I wasn’t able to get much work…
Violin Karl: He came in for a little tuneup. New set of custom made pegs, bridge and sound post adjustments. Now Sara is ready for her audition next week. I feel like the proud poppa (Karl being one of my babies…) #violinkarl #violin #violinist #unf #unfmusic #jumusic #jaxsymphony #ju #jacksonville #stmarys #staugustine #brunswickga #savannahgeorgia #tallahassee…

The funnest Christmas present I made this year was a commission for these Mickey Mouse pegs. Don Leister don_leister_violin.rva set them to the recipients violin. https://instagram.com/p/BdbZQAknmxh/. #violin #violinist #violinpegs #luthier #violinmaker #customwoodwork #woodturning
Viola Primrose : Trimming the corners on the viola ribs. The maple sides are steam bent around a form. (The only steam bending on a violin/viola, the plates are carved). The upper and lower bouts meet the C-bouts at a mitre, that when viewed from the end looks like a single rib with no seam.…

Violin Onalee: glueing the purfling in the grooves. Purfling, besides being beautiful, is a strip of wood with the grain running parallel to the plate edges. If the edges get impacted, the purfling stops any cracks from going inside the purfling line of the plates. Purfling: crack damage insurance.. #violinonalee #orchestra #fernandinabeach #ameliaisland #brunswickga #staugustine…
