I have been involved in instrument construction since the early 80s. I was privileged to meet Albert Hash and spent three years learning as much as I could concerning wood selection, body style, finishes, and some old time fiddle tunes. In 2005 I was invited to participate in the National Folk Festival in Richmond, VA demonstrating fiddle construction learned in Southwest VA. I have just completed my fourth luthier class for Wayne C. Henderson School of Appalachian Arts in Marion, Virginia. My students take part in an intense week of hands on instruction in fiddle construction.
