Recently returned from the VMAAI violinmaking competition, where my violin #21 (Guarneri-inspired model) fared quite well:

  • First place, final tone, gut string division
  • Gold medal for combined tone and workmanship
  • Certificate of merit for workmanship
  • Bob Wallace winner for best tone, gut and steel string
  • Bill Barnitz award for best workmanship and tone of all instruments, including violas and cellos





You can also hear it played in the competition here:
