The violin project

Three Rhode Island violinmakers (each wonderful supporters of CMW individually) are currently working on a new project: they are collaboratively building a fine violin that they will donate to CMW when their work is completed in April.

Modeled on a 1742 Guarneri "del Jesu," the violin is being constructed from the finest Boznian maple and high altitude Austrian spruce.

More on this exciting project later, but here are three photos from a mid-December violin building session hosted by Andrew Ryan, pictured along with Tucker Densley and Karl Dennis. All photos donated by Krzystyna Harber.
