Kiel Smit, Kyle Vin, and The Redwood Violin

Two musicians take the Redwood Violin to the park in Petaluma. (Look for the surprise guest appearance at the end!).

This is part of The Redwood Violin Project, designed to paint a picture of Sonoma County, California, as told through the story of making a violin from scratch, using locally sourced materials. In the first phase of the project, MADE LOCAL, I documented collecting the materials and making the violin. Now, in PLAYED LOCAL, I'm getting the violin into the hands of as many musicians as possible to show the breadth of music-making in the County.

I've been a violinmaker for over 30 years.
