Fine Strings

I love the stories that come with instruments…this violin encountered a bear’s mouth in the Canadian wilderness!
Thankfully, the owner was fine!

This was the first time I’ve seen a nylon tailgut crack on a cello…good thing it was spotted before it broke completely!! The Kevlar replacement I’ve put on will not do that and it’ll result in a better sound.

Getting ready to open up my workshop next Friday, Sept. 19th in Nanaimo! 😊

My husband, who is not a violin family musician, saw this and said, “Violin torture round”….😄…he had no idea what it was (for those who are also not sure, it’s a mute, which forces us to play quietly!)
