Ten makers from nine countries collaborated to make this violin! Each maker used materials grown in their own location to add a part to the violin, before passing it on to the next maker. The Violinabox roams the world collecting snapshots of local communities and their music. Handed from musician to musician, recordings are shared online. The Violinabox hopes to spotlight the diversity of music and its role in our local and interconnected worlds. ~
The makers hope this instrument will be played by players of varying backgrounds, styles, and levels. Feel free to record, post, and tag @thomasmetzlerviolinshop and @violinabox !
Violinabox is coming to the Metzler Violin Shop on October 20, 2023 and will be available to take out on loan from October 24 until November 3, 2023.
