A
not-for-profit organization to promote
the art and science of making, repairing and preserving musical instruments
of the violin family and their bows, including study of the history, players,
literature, materials, construction practices and acoustics of such
instruments. The Association holds makers’ competitions, furthers
research, publishes papers and journals and sponsors assemblies of violin
experts, makers, and players. The term “violin” includes
reference to violas, cellos, basses, their bows and related stringed
instruments played with a bow. The
organization desires to hold competitions, conduct semi-annual meetings with
show and tell, subject presentations by advanced or professional makers or associated
disciplines, and seminars on subjects where there is expert knowledge
available. The
association desires to sponsor/organize summer courses on instrument making,
setup, varnishing and other subjects as resources permit, in a location
convenient for the maximum number of participants from the region. The
association desires to organize “players meet makers” events
throughout the region designed to replace cheap mass-produced instruments
with hand- made instruments.
Trade-ins would be donated to rural programs where there are kids that
can’t afford to rent an instrument. The
association may also raise funds to promote the hand-made instrument making
industry in the region through grants and scholarships. |
