Do you ever think about the unhealthy expectations you put on wood shavings by making them compete with each other for your affection? No, because you only think about yourself.
Help spread awareness. Thank you.

Teacher: "So, which one did you like?"
Student: *smile* "They both sound good..."
Teacher: "Well you can't have both of them."
Luthier(me): 😍😁💕
It's a very special moment to see a violinist give a smile of satisfaction after playing one of my violins. This violin now belongs to Emma, and I'm so happy to know it's voice will be touching the ears and hearts of many, as it is weilded by a bright and ambitious musician! -feeling blessed that the last few violins to leave my shop will be around for me to see at local recitals, festivals, and such.

Another one of my babies(aka violins) is all grown up! May you sing beautiful melodies, cause feet to dance, eyes to water, and hands to clap... all with your new companion, Serena. Thank you Serena; I'm so happy to have my violin paired with such a talented violinist(and not too far from home!) 😊. All the best in your adventures together!!
This is my friend, the very talented violinist, Yeagi Kim. We met back in 2008, in Rotterdam NL, halfway around the world, so it's pretty cool that 9 years later, we're both living in Salt Lake City, UT! This is just a short clip of her putting one of my violins(the one pictured in my last IG post) to the test. Thanks Yeagi!! 😊🎻

This violin is now for sale! Come take it for a spin. If you have questions on pricing or otherwise, contact me(phone, email, or PM). I made this violin while attending the Violin Making School of America in 2015, and have since made adjustments as well as given it an antique finish. This violin has a very strong voice top to bottom, yet is still able to sing soft and sweet; I invite you to try it and see for yourself!
