I have a new violin! I just bought it through a local luthier (Robert Beecham), although it’s still factory made. It is a beautiful instrument in both looks and sound. I think one of the biggest upgrades was the strings. I had been using steel strings, but this instrument came with Dominants. What a difference!
In other news, I’ll be playing “In C” a week from tomorrow in Nordica Auditorium in Farmington. Come check it out! I hope everything goes well. I’m afraid some of the other performers aren’t taking it seriously enough. It is a deceivingly difficult piece. Anyway, I’m tired, and hitting the hay. G’night!
