#Oxford Music Festival: in the first half-day of two days worth of string classes, we had 21 #violins, only one #cello, no #violas, no #doubleBass. are we losing #diversity? The day included everything from tiny beginners to scary good, so not fundamentally an age effect.

🎸🎵 The world's only playable #Stradivarius guitar, the "Sabionari," was made in 1679. Here classical guitarists Rolf Lislevand and Krishnasol Jiménez perform #Baroque pieces on the restored instrument. While Antonio Stradivari's workshop produced over 1,000 #instruments including 960 #violins, only this single ten-string #guitar remains playable today thanks to restoration by master luthiers.

@arthurfox I am deeply fascinated by #electronics and the different timbral effects that result from the #CircuitDesign choices and how this influences #MusicProduction and the appreciation of #ElectronicMusic by the listener. I also love #WoodWorking as it applies to #violins and #WoodenBoats

#PirateLuthier update - there are now 12 #violins in my room, 7 are playable and #GoodEnoughForFolk.One will be straightforward to set up, the other four present challenges of various levels. Also, 2 #cellos, 2 #violas, 1 #doubleBass. Oh, and 3 guitars.

violin family: 10 #violins, 2 #violas, 2 #cellos, no double bass. https://bate.web.ox.ac.uk/files/theviolinfamilyedittedpdf-0 Not hugely impressive (but I believe the original collector focused on wind instruments.)
