I have always had a fascination with music and building . I built my first instrument at 14 years old a banjo, then a guitar in high school, I learned to travel play music and built over 500 native american flutes. in 1992 I began working as an artist, blacksmith and have been in the trade since. In 2006 I began violin building, for me is a dream come true. now I am at a point in my life that I can pursue building violins . In 07 I was able to attend a semester of violin school. thanks to all who contribute to this discussion.
