The Dipper workshop prepared this violin by Peter Young , Philadelphia ca. 1780 for playing and exhibit in the National Music Museum's new exhibit "Of Thee I Sing", celebrating the USA's 250th anniversary. Andrew and Claire visited the exhibit this last weekend in conjunction with board meetings and highly recommend it.

Andrew’s first guest at his AFVBM exhibit March 21 in Boston was Nate Kim who owns a Klingenthal violin restored by Andrew and his Roda model bow. We thoroughly enjoyed hearing him play and test a few bows. If you have a chance to hear Nate perform, don’t hesitate. He is amazing.
