Ben Ahern Wild's Bench

[BenAhernWild]

My name is Benjamin Ahern Wild and I have just completed my first violin under the instruction of Peter Lewis White at the University of New Mexico as part of the New Mexico Musical Heritage Project. I plan on entering my work at the VMAAI this upcoming year and have another violin near completion. Below is a link to some pictures of my first violin.

Hey Ben, looks nice.  Way better than my first, or second.  I saw some of your classmates work too, and I see that having a teacher, and a classroom setting, at least gets things done to more of a professional looking level.  Mine always look more crude.  I've developed everything on my own, and it is a very long learning curve.  Good luck at the VMAAI; I might try to make it out there too.

Hi Ben,

 

Sounds like we're going to have a good group at VMAAI this year.  If you get the second one done, you can enter that one, too.  I hope to have 3 in the competition, and I'll also have some in the "tone only" category for fun (I might even enter the first one I made... although I've had it apart many times for modifications).
