WHAT'S NEW?

Now with 5-strings!

10/20/2020

0 Comments

 
This spring I had the honor and pleasure of building custom 5-string violin. In this case the extra string is low, a "C" strings effectively extending the violin's range down a 5th. Instruments of this type are popular with fiddlers across many genres. Since this was a commissioned instrument, the client and I had the opportunity to create a custom scroll...  Go to Sound Samples page to hear this violin played by the great fiddler Amy Hakanson!

Keeping busy during Covid 19

​It’s a quiet time at the shop with Covid 19 outbreak, a good time to finally get to those gouge blanks I bought some years ago.  I’d hoped to use this project as an opportunity to learn wood turning on a lathe, but since I couldn’t go to my colleague's shop for a tutorial, I decided to make them with the tools at hand in the shop. I think they turned out pretty well!

We've set up shop in the Gus J. Solomon Buding at 620 SW Main Street, Suites 438-440. This is really a fabulous building in the heart of downtown Portland.
I'll continue to focus on building new instruments while Jenelle Steele will be offering repairs, restoration and rehairs of instruments and bows.
Shop hours are 9:30-5, Tuesday-Friday, or by appointment. Come say 'hi'!
