**omo**

We cover the lives of violin makers, their best parts and worst parts, yesterday and today. Historical stories, interviews with experts and makers in the field. Omobono Stradivari was the least liked son of his father, Antonio, he was remembered in Antonio’s will as a screw up. He is our north star. We are all part of this. We all belong exactly here.

Episode 68: The American Violin, with John Montgomery Jun 19, 2024

Show notes

“The American Violin” is a 2016 publication by the American Federation of Violin and Bow Makers (which we may refer to as AFVBM or “The Federation”). This book was a monumental culmination of efforts by many folks in The Federation and the general violin trade. It very eloquently tells the story of American violin making- when and where it started, how it spread, and to whom it served. Guest John Montgomery joins Jerry and Brandon to tell this story.

Special Guest: John Montgomery.
