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.

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!

I, E Sharp, am a violin maker and violist. I am not an artist…however…
I found these sketches that I 100% traced during summer 2020 and I just think they’re neat.
One violinist, and two violists, one of which I think many of you would recognize lol.

Today, I finally realized where I knew the really cool fiddler I met a couple months ago from.
Dear reader, the man was a member of the Turtle Island String Quartet.
