The Sandor Fisher Violin is almost ready. Sandor and his wife both played violin in Auschwitz in WWII. Now I’m mostly working on the neck. In the past, it suffered from wood-boring insect damage, and you can still see the scars of old repairs. I respect the work that was done, and would like to preserve it. This is a fine French-made instrument. By the time I finish restoring it, it will play in concert halls all over the world as part of the Violins of Hope project. Hopefully it will premiere in Richmond Virginia this fall.
