happy 2014 everyone!
i have a lovely video to share… throughout all my concerts over the last seven years or so, i have learned to travel with very little, often borrowing instruments in whichever region i am. but one character has always been with me . . . my violin . . . and many times people have asked me what kind of violin it is. i tell them it was handmade by a very special man in the countryside near where i grew up in oregon.
his name is george david armstrong, and my mother recently sent me this video portrait of him. i think it’s beautiful, and perhaps you will too.

What a great film and a fantastic character.
I get the feeling he chooses the musician for the instrument rather than the usual way around. Love the way he waits for the tree to decide it wants to be something else.
Great philosophy.
dear peter, this man has such wisdom and genuineness about his passion. It makes your violin even more special and long time being cherished. x
what happened to what happened to the piano??
Cool, a real artist. Congratulations for having one of his voilins!
