"INSTRUMENTAL: An exhibition of Australian luthiers"
2000-10-20 until 2000-11-18
Craft Victoria
FITZROY, VI, AU Australia

Australian stringed instrument makers are widely regarded but rarely displayed in their own right. Instrumental offers an insight into the craft and ideology at play in violin making. On the one side, there are luthiers who follow the classical traditions and focus on fine details such as the scrolls and purfling that will be on display in the gallery.

On the other hand, there are violin makers who seek new forms and materials, particularly Australian timbers such as King Billy pine. Both sides will be represented in Instrumental, along with a resident luthier who will complete a violin over the course of the exhibition.
