jacobsaunders Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 I had been wondering from which tradition the large and influential Ann Arbour violin making "school" had originated Quote Link to post Share on other sites

martin swan Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 Apart from the fact that it's long enough to be a viola the description seems spot on! I'm just kicking myself I missed this one ...... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
richardz Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 Yeah I've always wanted one of these, but one that's stripped down to the aluminum. They are beautiful. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dwight Brown Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 I think Joe Maddy had something to do with the metal violins. I know there were some aluminum basses at Interlochen when I was there. We always wanted to get one and take it out in the lake. Camp frowns!! Dwight Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JoeDeF Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 I think Joe Maddy had something to do with the metal violins. I know there were some aluminum basses at Interlochen when I was there. We always wanted to get one and take it out in the lake. They still had the aluminum basses there during my years teaching there. I remember that they did float one on the lake. If I recall correctly, they treated it as a canoe, and it was photographed and featured on the cover of the Interlochen magazine sometime around the late 1990s (again, iirc). Their durability was undeniable.... Joe Quote Link to post Share on other sites
