ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
There are several jobs that I like to do related to the violin, but what I am really interested in doing is performing on the violin. The instrument that I am presently using is an 1805 Francificus Geisenhopf. In the next couple of months I will be making several electric violins. These are very different from acoustic in that you don,t need a resonating body
so they can take some pretty bizare shapes. Recently I have been commissioned Through Allegro Music Center to make an electric violin in the shape of the G clef (treble).
