My goal is to create 6 stringed instruments played by Dave Lynas at the Duluth Coffee Company. By using new and found materials I will craft these instruments to further develop my craft and inform my audience of the possibilities of re-purposed materials in addition to sounds from around the world. Develop my knowledge of stringed instruments from around the world. To increase my knowledge of technical methods in handcrafted instruments. To have a musician bring the instruments to life by playing them for the audience. To receive feedback and approval from local musician about the instruments throughout the process. To show the public the variety of instruments that can be produced from re-purposed materials. To have the public see and hear instruments from around the world.
My goal of constructing 6 stringed instruments with an opening performance at the Duluth Coffee Company was reached.
