Kristin Siegfried Ballenger and Corinne Shaffer Hopkins will guide you in this 7-day intensive workshop beginning with tool preparation and focusing on providing participants with measurements, methodology, and techniques for setting up instruments. While it will be primarily focused on violins, some techniques are applicable to violas and cellos as well.
This course is for those with some experience setting up instruments, but are looking for a reliable set of standards and techniques for a professional level set-up. Course work will focus on new instrument set-up from laying out peg holes to finishing a bridge, and some sound adjustment. The course will cover some tool preparation and sharpening as well as problem solving to increase work efficiency.
