The repair shop has been ever so busy lately. Verlan has been coming in to learn about violin repair. He is working on our own fiddles right now to learn how to do basic setup and repair, such as fitting bridges, nuts and soundposts, and gluing separated seams. I am so glad to have some help!
I've been busy working on mandolins, banjos and fiddles. I fit a mandolin bridge yesterday, and worked on a banjo and several fiddles over the weekend. I've got four customer fiddles to complete work on, another banjo, and a guitar. This is something that I really enjoy!
The Bluegrass Shack CD is coming along. We have just about every student that is capable of recording signed up to participate in the recording of the CD. Fourteen recordings have been completed, and I have mastered about half of those. I am really enjoying this project, and am amazed at the talent of the students. Everyone will have something to be proud of when this is finished. Here is a sample for you to listen to. Although this particular song is a Christmas song, it is the only holiday song at this point that will be on the CD. This is 10-year Jaclyn who is a guitar student here. Click here to hear her sing O Come All Ye Faithful in Latin. Please note that we do not teach voice lessons here, so all of our singing students are just "plain folk" like the rest of us.
