Maybe buying a violin isn’t in your purview, yet you still want to support me and my violin making.
Tools are expensive. Tuition is expensive. I’d like to make violins that aren’t.
There are multiple avenues in which to support me:

I don’t mind the extra darkness, in fact I welcome it.
It’s the shift from basically late summer weather one week to walking up to snow on the ground the next that get me.
I’m an autumn baby. Where’s my season??

I am at a festival for a music scene that currently only has one bassist. The festival is in a hilly forest venue and he runs the trails between stages to get to every set, carrying his stand-up bass. People give him beers and snacks as he passes.
Anyway, I have an idea for a new Olympic sport.

Say what you will about Critical Role, but they’re gifting me a whole new campaign just for me on my birthday. Pretty nice of them if you ask me 🎉

“I use it for brainstorming.” is quickly becoming my most hated pro-AI statement.
YOU TOOK YOUR BRAIN OUT OF THE EQUATION. THAT IS NOT BRAINSTORMING.

Played a really fun pit gig the last two weeks, and it was my violin’s second outing! Pictured below are opening and closing nights.
The corn fields were nice, but I’m so happy to be back in civilization lol 🎻

So typically, new violins will need a new sound post around 6 months to a year after being completed and played in. Of course, Anansi has decided that now would be a good time to start screaming for one. Luckily, there’s a luthier nearby I can consult to help me with this.
It’s me. I’m the luthier.

I’m on the other side of Illinois for this gig for two weeks, and it’s somehow 20 degrees cooler than it is in the city.
I’m slightly chilly and slightly annoyed but yay fall 🍁

It’s here! I’m selling my first violin “Anansi.” This is the 16 day violin that I’m super proud of. 🎻
If you or someone you know is looking for a quality violin (by one of the nation’s few black luthiers, who is also, like, a really cool guy), this could be the one for you!
